You could "drive someone to drink" ......I tried going to Guide, selecting watch on TV not sure what would take place.....my wife is screaming from another room that the TV Changed Channels....I played dumb.....! So when you select Watch on TV all boxes that are on will go to that channel...I didn't see a drop down to select a particular Box.
Site Signon reads you can stream live TV and On Demand Channels...tried 1506 and 350....neither had "Watch on Your PC"
lastly, this goes to give 'em something they will always want more.....be nice to watch a Recorded show off your DVR......
Nice........ |

I deliberately held off on mentioning that to see how long it would take somebody to grab some entertainment value there

Cool....but, Live TV will not run on my Laptop with IE10\Windows7. When I open BHTV I get the Blue Window showing I must Install Silverlight. I had Silverlight installed, went ahead and uninstalled Silverlight...re-installed it using link at BHTV....opening BHTV using IE10...still could not watch TV.....displayed needed to Install Silverlight........
Tried Firefox and BHTV Live TV Plays fine. What could be preventing me from watching Live TV using IE10? |

Finally something for us "poor" Folk who don't have all the iphones and pads.....yeah! Works great and linking it with DVR management makes it easier to manage DVR's in one place...Good Job.
I realize the left sidebar eventually disappears on its own....but would have liked (unless I missed it) a Close Button.....maybe that will be something in the works....... |

Very nice, but playback isn't smooth, kinda jerky motion.
Im running this on a gaming machine with a high end video card.
I suspect silverlight but I haven't had much experience using it. |

It uses silverlight?…. really…. I guess someone one the planet has to have used it… and here i thought silverlight was pretty much dead since I never see anyone in their right mind use it. |

Asked and answered.......Reset IE10 and BHTV Live plays ok.
I do get the alert "This application requires screen resolution of 1024x768 pixels. Some of the features may not be available for your screen resolution". My Laptop is 15.4 screen size and its ideal recommended resolution settings is 1280x800. So each time I open BHTV I will need to "x" the warning |

I ran 4 sep browsers simultaneously without any issues like that so something else is going on...perhaps you are on wireless?

Apparently it wants me to give up cookie privacy in my browser as well. No thanks.

It's not BHN's cookies I'm concerned about. Having people set it to never opens them up to advertisement / tracking / other potentially nefarious cookies just to watch videos here. Sure you can try to remember to toggle it on and off, but I've never come across a site that required me to reduce my privacy settings just to work with it. Just seems to be a bad decision. Oh well. |

You are entirely too paranoid about this stuff...leave it on....once a night toss your cookies be done with it....seriously nefarious cookie dropping is highly overrated...if somebody wants something on you the last thing they will do these days is use cookies...your habits are much easier obtained in other ways...

"tab projection but no audio/video
If you can cast a tab and the page shows on your TV but the video and/or audio isn't playing, this is typically caused by the use of native plug-ins, such as Silverlight or Quicktime, which are not supported."

Not a huge deal as the TV in my office is also my 2nd monitor. I just drag the tab to that & go full screen. Works well, just like to play with the chromecast when available.

No need to call me paranoid for using Safari's default browser setting. It's not just my personal habit or even a habit to begin with. It's even being discussed to be the default for Firefox as well and it's pretty much recommended to block 3rd party cookies on any security site out there. If you actively toss your cookies once a night, sounds like you're more the paranoid one. BHN should have looked into using 1st party cookies like the majority of sites use. I guess you guys only ever want to hear positive feedback, so I'll leave it at that. |
