DirectTV raised rates two times in last year after 20 years of service so it didnt make sense any more. We tested YouTubeTV for 3 months before removing all our DirectTV boxes, and it works great for us. Plus my a/v rack is cleaner without the DTV boxes and cables. Took awhile to get used to the SR260 controls for YTTV so remmber the Up/down and Back buttons are your friends. You can also edit the order of channels so the most used are at the top of the channel menu and you can delete channels not being used. Also have AppleTV boxes so we are using the same menu on all TVs to access other streaming services. Upgraded to 1gb Xfinity internet and upgraded to Araknis router so there is no speed/connection issues. Favorite feature is we now have YTTV on the in-wall Ipad Minis we installed. Yes it takes a couple clicks to start the C4 app but we use several other OS apps often.

"and the players work in the C4 app individually" I have not seen this issue because I cannot get my Bluesound players working in C4. The big integrator that installed my system and a remote programmer cannot get C4 to recognize the players. Can you use all the Bluesound app functions in C4? Does your integrator do remote programming?

Is your Directv IR or IP? We have major issues with pressing numbers on 2 different DTV boxes over IR (Genie 4k and HR54-200). Dealer says DTV IP is unreliable. Right now, the DTV remote works faster.

Ok thanks

Can I add Add Music in Home Composer or do I need a dealer to add it?

@Cyknight yes that is what happened. I was able to add Channels as it was on the list as not visible,, but Add Music is not in the list. The only place I see Add Music listed is in "Control4 Media Services".

Great answer PorterTX, thanks for the quick reply!

Hey guys I have an EA3 with the latest software version and have two rooms programmed, Family Room and Theater. In Theater room > Listen, there are buttons for Add Music and Stations. In Family Room > Listen, neither buttons are there. Can I add the Add Music and Stations buttons in Home Composer? Happy Super Bowl Sunday!!!

That works. Thanks Mitch, you're the best, I learn a lot from your replies to posts

Greetings I understand the limitations of using the Sonos App and C4, but before I purchase another Sonos Amp, I would like to know if I have enough Sonos devices to do what I would l like to do. I add Sonos channels as favorites and Sonos Playlists, as I use Sirius XM the majority of the time so I can access what I need in Sonos from SR260s. I have the following rooms in C4 programmed in my EA3: Family Room - has Sonos Connect with Yamaha AV. Theater - has Sonos connect with Pioneer AV. Rooms with Speakers only that I need programmed in the EA3 (not by me): Patio - Sonos Amp Bar & Spa - Need Sonos Master Bath - Need Sonos Can I connect the Sonos Amp to the EA3 to get whole house audio? I use a few SR260s and 250s and the mobile C4 app for control. Thanks

Cyknight thanks for the reply. The extender was added by the dealer remotely. I tried moving it around and one spot works better than without the extender, but still not as well as the Theater room where the ea3 is. I am done with Zigbee fixes so can my hc300 be an io extender or is it best to add an ea1. I want it to work as great as the ea3.

Hi Guys I have followed this forum for many years and want to say you guys are very knowledgeable and helpful to many many Control4 users, thank you! I had an EA3 installed 6 months ago to control 2 rooms, Theater in basement and Family Room. Ea3 is in a rack in the Theater. Family room is IR over Cat6. The Theater room SR260 works fantastic. 6 months later, after many remote programming sessions and 3 in home visits, the Family Room SR260 response is horrible. You have to press buttons multiple times to enter a command. My C4 dealer is very big and very experienced and I have had excellent service and support for 20 years. I have requested a Zigbee extender many times and the last tech to visit agreed. I thought they would send the Zigbee Extender but they sent a Zigbee to IO Extender and said it does the same thing, just plug it in and they will activate it. Is this correct? It showed some improvement but still not the same as the Theater, so know they want me to move it. I am about to send the EA3 back and get two EA1's instead and be done with it. BTW they did change the Zigbee channel which also showed slight improvement but still not as fast as the Theater.
