VUit

I only wanted the app to get my favorite local channel that isn't on my streaming service. Works great!

Read a nice article about VUit in the WSJ and decided to try it. Well, I found that it’s one of those things, “That’s not quite ready for prime time.” Appears they have “jumped the gun” on announcing it was ready - ‘cause it “ain’t” ready by a long shot! Most channels I clicked on were blank with a message saying they were “having technical difficulties. Too, and it might be the time of day I tried VUit, seems like local news and weather is all I get at the channels that I can receive at all. VUit seems to be trying to provide streaming of many TV stations around the United States, but at the moment they are struggling. If they don’t iron out their technical problems and carry things other than local news/weather within a few weeks, they might as well hang it up. I’m tired of businesses using the present day strategy of, “ready, fire, and then aim.” They need to go back to the tried and true business model of, “ready, aim, and then fire.”

There are stations on here that are nearby (available on local cable) but hard to pick OTA. I was thrilled when I saw those stations on here and the schedule even shows regular broadcast shows. But it’s only live when the news is on. The rest is repeats of the news. Well one station is completely dark outside of the news hours. It’s kind of funny but sad how it periodically breaks the darkness for a commercial break. Hope this evolves into something better but it’s barely worth it for just the news.

I can’t record. Only shows news but nothing in between news shows. No audio. Constantly buffering. Black screens are common. It might be good if my favorite show to watch was local news and nothing else. What is the purpose of the app? I see no benefit
