Took the first step to cutting the cable cord. Currently have Cox and they were charging $130 for three TVs with basic channels. Switching to YouTube TV at $65 for three TVs. Not crazy about their politics but Cox isn't much better with their Hug project for illegal aliens and those they left behind. YouTube TV has the closest lineup to what we're used to with cable although I'm looking at adding frndly TV for a few bucks a month to get the History channel. I'm planning on keeping Cox internet but we have a new fiber optic provider coming...

The FOX hit comedy Family Guy imagined President Donald Trump, his wife Melania, and Vice President Mike Pence hanging themselves in prison in an episode that aired just after Tuesday’s presidential election. The November 8th episode of Family Guy, titled “La Famiglia Guy,” began with Peter and Lois Griffin reading newspapers announcing Trump’s suicide.

Chicago has won a legal battle allowing its wasteful “amusement tax” to be levied on everyday people. Residents who enjoy gaming will now have to pay a 9 percent tax for streaming services they buy through Playstation. They also have to pay this 9 percent tax on other streaming services for entertainment like Netflix, Spotify, and Hulu. The amusement tax is one of multiple examples of government using its ability to pick the pockets of the populace to select winners and losers in the market while paying its bills with money that citizens often do not realize they are spending....

If we cut the cord, what is the best way to get TV via the web?

President Donald Trump won’t be filling out an NCAA Tournament bracket on ESPN this March, unlike his predecessor, Barack Obama. ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz says the network expressed its “interest to the White House in continuing the presidential bracket. They have respectfully declined.”

Looking for advice on finally ditching very expensive Direct TV with hundreds of channels I DON'T watch.

New channels and a new platform are now coming on line. As an ongoing leap into streaming channels, a new platform has been added recently to Roku INSTANT TV This is being added slowly, piece meal, and is an ongoing process We first found the individual stations before knowing of INSTANT TV. Being inquisitive, checked further and found the following This information and a few small bugs lead me to believe the total process is still in progress. Here is the ROKU blog which is received on a regular basis https://blog.roku.com/ Some of the channels available with this platform can...

Just set up ROKU TV, could someone advise as to the best station to get good, fair elections coverage. I have to dig so deep into the channels to find conservative TV. Thanks.

But you are being robbed by left-wing propagandists to pay for their left-wing propaganda.Cut the cord, America.For America.

Cut your cable cord. This is what 3.2 million Americans have done over the last year or so. The result is not only a massive loss of revenue for ESPN but ESPN is poisoning -7.2% fewer U.S. households.

A perfect example of one of the many wonderful benefits of cutting your cable television cord arrived this week with the news that Keith Olbermann is out at ESPN.

Meet Sling TV, an Internet-driven endeavor from DISH Network that is the first legitimate alternative to traditional cable TV. It’s a service that’s free of contracts and friendly of pricing, and it offers tantalizing flexibility to the tech-savvy user. The service needs some work before it’s ready to captivate the average user, but with evolution, it has the potential to be special. The service is currently available on a handful of devices, including Amazon’s streaming devices, iPads and iPhones, Android phones and PCs and Macs. In the coming months (and Sling’s been working quickly), it will hit the Xbox One...

...Internet and getting a FEW Channels(Fox News, History, H2, and AHC etc...)?

Traditional television watching is declining faster than ever...

As I sat to write this post, I thought about Thanksgivings past. My childhood Thanksgivings in the 1960's included aunts uncles and cousins. There was turkey, stuffing and arguments. In my house, where I tried to do things differently, we had turkey, stuffing and tense discussions. So for me today, Thanksgiving makes me think of: It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was...

Some people have had it with TV. They've had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don't like timing their lives around network show schedules. They're tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don't even use an antenna to get free signals over the air. These people are watching shows and movies on the Internet, sometimes via cellphone connections. Last month, the Nielsen Co. started labeling people in this group "Zero TV" households, because they fall outside the traditional definition of a TV home. There are 5...
