And zero empathy for those that are.I’m not on a budget.

I’m not neurotypical. Empathy isn’t a strong trait for those on the spectrum.
If I were on a budget, I would do something supplemental.

So you don't believe in retirement. IE; stopping working
I like to work. I like routine. I’m not ready to retire. When I do retire I’ll still be working on classic cars.

Assuming you don't have a debilitating stroke or your eyesight starts to fail. The young believe they are invincible. Hope that work out for you.
I'm not young. I'll cross that bridge when I get there. I'll have enough resources when I retire.

I thought I’d check out this thread to see about alternatives to YouTube TV as I don’t get much value from it. Obviously I’m on the wrong thread!
Doesn't look like there are any affordable alternatives.

I pointed out a long time ago that the streamers were losing billions a quarter offering their streaming packages and paying more for entertaining driving up the prices for Cable...but around here it was no, it's great, cable is bad. So now that they have pretty much eliminated the competition and only a few control it now, it's more expensive and it will continue to get higher, offering less and adding more gigs whenever they can get away with it.
Remember when landline phone schit deregulated? Drove the prices up that people were already complaining about.

Are they still called telephone poles?
Telephone poles, power poles. Believe it or not there are still a lot of landlines in SoCal. Lower section is landlines and cable TV, upper is power lines.

That stuff belongs in the ground, out of the wind and the weather.

Fubo is actually looking really, really, really attractive.
$79.99/month, which is high but whatever, but it comes with FS1, FS2 and USA which covers all my NASCAR, has ESPN, ESPN2 and ION which covers Caitlin Clark I mean the WNBA, and MASN which means I get to watch Baltimore Orioles baseball. Plus, my bank offers a $15 kickback each month, so it's actually $65/month.

Agreed, but nobody's willing to pay to move existing lines underground. Paying compensation has less effect on the balance sheet.

Yeah, but the higher prices were made up by letting you call three different companies to point the fingers at each other when there was a problem.

They are when you hit one of them.

That's what they're called after you hit them. When you hit them, they're called "Oh, S#!!!!T"
Apparently, not cost effective to put all of that overhead stuff in the ground at this point, but yeah, I agree.

The CW app is great. Tons of free content and FAST channels, including ION and ION Mystery.
ION on CW means more Caitlin.

If you're a fan of March Madness, you'll want to give it more thought. Fubo doesn't offer the Turner lineup of channels. TNT, TBS and TRU aren't available through Fubo. The only games you'd get would be on CBS. That eliminates the majority of the tournament.
I subscribe to YouTube TV and I also have access to Fubo. I use both. Both have their +'s and -'s. There's simply no single steaming package that offer everything a consumer might want.

Just added the CW app to TV. Watching Bristol Busch race. Noice!!!
I swear had CW somewhere/somehow before. Maybe was getting it thru alternative feed? Thought it was in my OTA guide but guess not.

YouTube TV?
They're always trying to push Sunday Ticket and NBA League Pass. And then, when I want to get WNBA League Pass for Caitlin Clark Season, it's a whole ****** song and dance.
I wouldn't pay 12 cents to watch a Jaguars game and YouTube thought I was gonna pay $350/year for that mess.

DIRECTV, EchoStar send letters to judge in Venu Sports case reiterating antitrust arguments
The two satellite companies still think Venu constitutes an antitrust violation, and sent letters to Judge Margaret Garnett to that effect.

This should NOT be allowed to hit the market. Disney literally made the case go away by buying Fubo out.

I have no dog in this fight but I do love how Fubo claimed the new service would be an anticompetitive monopoly, right up until they joined the anticompetitive monopoly. Was it Groucho who said he'd never join any club that would accept him as a member?DIRECTV, EchoStar send letters to judge in Venu Sports case reiterating antitrust arguments

Fubo was in dire straits because of what they have to charge for their product.
This is an anticompetitive monopoly. And I guarantee, when YouTube TV folds up, Venu will suddenly be $120/month.

Either way, I'll still be unaffected!

So... you Indy people thought you had it made. Not so fast, welcome to the cluster.

I still have it made. I always planned to watch on a Fox network via the 'cable-like' streaming service from my broadband co-op.
There's time for Fox to find an alternative before the Indy season starts.

I looked at the DirecTV streaming service. $75/month before they list off the access fee, connection fee, device fee, fee fee, fi fo fum fee, and the just because fee.
