Cable cutters, rejoice

[KTMLew01]

Went and looked at band saw & drill press guy was selling. Been used heavily. I passed. Don't really need either of them. Want but don't need. I'll wait and one day just go buy a new drill press. Can't get anything under 150 bucks that's worth carrying home IMO. Hazzard Fright has some junk Chicago Electric stuff. I don't trust that crap. I'll pay 150 for a 30 year old tool, before 150 for one of those. Lots of that type of stuff is way below second rate. Nope. Don't need it that bad.

Turned on my TCL TV this morning. Have OTA as start-up. Was playing Touched By An Angle...or something. Went to home screen to select Sling to listen to little of the autopsy of TFG "Town Hall/Rally" last night.

I don't think I understood 75% of that..

Shouldn’t this be in the leaking lean-to vertigo thread?

Doesn't surprise me at all.

 

[KTMLew01]

Turned on my TCL TV this morning. ---You have any trouble with that?

Have OTA as start-up. OTA = Over-The-Air or Antenna for the slow and weak minded!

Was playing Touched By An Angle...or something. =TV show Touched By An Angel was on. I like to twist the titles just a little to, again, confuse the weak minded.

Went to home screen to select Sling= HOME SCREEN ON SMART TV. It's where you pick the function, ie; OTA/Sling/Prime/Netflix/HULU/ etc...

Sling is a streaming service.

Did any of that help you?

TCL is a brand?

I am just thankful that there are so big screens options now with a form factor for virtually any need.

Didn't occur to you to enter TCL TV in search bar and see what it was? Kehrist man.

Well? I've been known to find Visegrips in my bed and boiled eggs in the freezer. Whoops. My bad.

And I found the leak. Fixxed. Not leaning either.

I am also impressed with the commitment to go full high definition redneck. It looks like they did some good framing and mudd-work to fit in the hybrid flat screen.

That had to be a work of love or a personal commitment because I can't see a professional contractor agreeing to the project. Could you imagine the giggles while asking a high brow contractor to provide an estimate to frame it up to fit the TV. For some of the finer things in life you just have to do it yourself.

I started to give them a points deduction on the redneck scorecards for leaving the back of the TV exposed on the wall in the next room. They could have built in a fake closet with sliding doors to conceal or hide the backside of the set.

But what if they were proud of their backside and all the work and creativity they had put into the project. This way they can invite their friends over to watch the football game or race on their one of a kind TV, and show off the ass-end of the set during halftime or one of the stages. It also leaves a lot of open room for connecting other devices, cable or speaker wires etc... much more serviceable than most people will ever have the good fortune to experience.

So it all probably went great until they found out about sound bars, that would force them to design another cut out.....

It's already partially blocking the door to the left of it. Hiding the back would probably make that worse.

I dumped NET FLIX a long time ago when they funded Obamy and Moochel crap.

I don't have any subscriptions. For me, I like the convenience of cable. I wanted to get fiber optic, but they don't offer it here anymore.

There have been fiber optic lines 5/10 of a mile from my home for 10 years and still not hooked up yet. Cable here sucks, out more than on (comcast), so satellite is how we go now. I am looking hard at Star Link and then go to streaming. I am hearing good things from folks that have it.

Disney to raise monthly price on ad-free Disney+ to $13.99

Disney is launching a new “premium duo” product of Disney+ and Hulu without commercials for $19.99 per month.

Peacock is the only service that’s reasonably priced anymore.

Downloaded and subscribed to YouTube TV this past week. Did so for the Sunday Ticket Package. Setting up all our TVs today to get ready for Football Sunday. One more TV to hang go. Will hang it later today.

A little info on the YouTube TV feed for those that might be interested. As I type, I’ve got 10 televisions streaming simultaneously. Not a hint of buffering. Their app seems to be very reliable. My cost, excluding Sunday Ticket is $95/month for an unlimited # of streaming connections in my home with a limit of 3 connections outside of my home anywhere in the US. Not available in Canada. I have other means in Canada so that’s not a concern. I’m going to stick with this service until the NFL season concludes. I’m then going to try out Fubo. None of these services have commitments. Simply a month to month service.

If anyone has any questions about YouTube TV and their service, give me a shout and I’ll answer the best I can. My exposure is so far limited to today’s experience.

How in the world do you watch 10 TV's at once?

One of my hunting camp friends has Star Link and You Tube TV, he loves it.

How in the world do you watch 10 TV's at once?

One of my hunting camp friends has Star Link and You Tube TV, he loves it.

Eleven tv's in the house. Eight of which are in the 'Man Cave'. Those eight are all viewable from our L shaped sectional couch streaming sports galore. We've got enough couch space for twelve of us and it'll be a full house tomorrow for the games. There are nine 1pm NFL matchups tomorrow. I'm going to be one tv short unless I grab one off of the wall upstairs tomorrow to bring down temporally. While I can't physically watch that many at a time, I can watch any one of them I want without changing a channel. Screw the Redzone feed, we're already wall to wall full coverage in our own zone.

During our regular television viewing we're watching a single big screen. I was fortunate and married a woman that loves sports as much as I do. She was all in on the multiple television setup.

Isn't that due more to a solid high-speed Internet connection than the app itself? Is your service wired to your router or wireless?

I am thinking about switching from directtv to youtube for the cost advantages. We have a great internet signal.
Do you get the local NBC, CBS, ABC and Fox channels with the service or do you need an antenna for them.
One of my TVs gets WIFI I am unsure of the other one.
Do you get the youtube music service with the deal to stream on a smartphone as well.

Wireless. Some apps are more labor intensive. I was never able to stream like that using the Dish Anywhere or Direct TV apps with the same internet connection. I'm sure others work as well as YouTube TV. I was just passing along what I'm experiencing with the service in case anyone else was thinking of cutting the cord.

I do get all the locals here in the Pittsburgh PA market. You can plug your zip code into their channel listing website to see what is available in your area. If you don't find it, let me know and I'll forward it to you.

Works just fine wireless.

I'm not familiar with their music service. I use Sirius XM. Mainly because of sports but they do have a long list of music channels that also includes Pandora.

Locals on an antenna..... I'm only able to get CBS and NBC via my OTA setup. We live a great distance from the towers and we also reside in a valley. The signal isn't great here.
