Feb 17, 2016 3:07 PM in response to chuckfromtuckertonby Protodd,the schedule of shows when streaming is not the same as with cable. most don't even have a "schedule".

Feb 17, 2016 3:28 PM in response to Protoddby chuckfromtuckerton,I Really appreciate your help. That can not be the answer as it works on the apps locally for iPad and iPhone.
