What is the Appetite for a 'Cord-Cutters Ping Group'?
Vanity ^ | 11/18/2016 | RinaseaofDs

Posted on 11/18/2016 7:23:54 AM PST by RinaseaofDs

I have been watching OANN as a cord cutter for three weeks and its positive attitude and its willingness to air news even Fox won't air has convinced me that cord cutters need help (I know I do) locating quality, non-cable sources of programming.

I plan on a separate vanity about One America News Network, but I think cord cutting is a concept that needs to reach a tipping point.

Thoughts?

Something probably happened, but you need to plug your nose, not open your eyes :o)

Tried Roku in the vacation home on a desolate mountain top but the elders didn’t like waiting so long for things to load.

So first ask yourself HOW GOOD IS YOUR MAXIMUM POTENTIAL INTERNET SPEED?

In a big city you can pay more for up to 300. On that mountaintop there were speeds around 8 or 9. Fuhgeddaboudit. We had to go back to satellite.

If you are thrilled with your online speeds now, you can cut the cord. If not, you won’t be happy. We pay for 300 at home with lots of extenders posted on the ceilings in our home network so we get great speeds, but with all the sports watched, we still can’t cut the cord.

Last Sunday I watched the Brazil F1 race on NBC Sorts Network via Sling TV.

Cool. But what if I want to watch the Cleveland Cavaliers? They are currently on Fox Sports Ohio. The Cleveland Indians are on Sportstime Ohio. Anybody know how I'd be able to pull that off? I can live without the Browns, but they are on network tv anyway.

I recently installed XTV on my Roku (thanks to another thread here on FR).

I remember that thread and I've searched for "XTV" on Roku's website channel store and don't see it at all.

Nevermind. Instead of searching on Roku's site, I googled XTV Roku and got this link. Once I clicked on the "add code" box, it went to roku's site and allowed me to add the channel.

Please include me on your list. As sports channels become available elsewhere maybe we can do it too.

Right now we are paying for DISH and it is excellent. Everything we could ever want. On demand everywhere. I have not much time to watch any of it. Need fast distraction for kids and especially for the least patient “kid” of all, Grandma with Alzheimer’s. A crabby mood is horrible but apparently 2 minutes of Sandra Bullock and she is happy.

But I am interested in finding out cord cutting options for the future.

Cut the cord over a year ago. Please put me on Ping list, too.

Just be sure to add lots of clickbait. People like clickbait.

And say “Boom” a lot. Gets folks excited, like something happened.

*Insert any random Bible verse here that has no bearing on the current debate* Wow! SMH

If you build it (ping list), they will come.

Oh also...I’ve heard Levin advertising for CRTV. It’s an online subscription TV service that will have lots of conservatives on. $89/year intro price.

We have to completely starve the media. When possible, move to Internet-only packages and catch local news from Over-The-Air (antenna-based) HD sources for free.

Been doing just this for over four years now. I don't miss cable TV at all.

Please add me to your list. Trying to figure out how to get Roku working (still a noob) and where to go from there.

From he collected sub-wisdom of Zarathud the Incorrigible:

One day Zarathud took his students to a pleasant pasture and there he confronted The Sacred Chao while She was contentedly grazing.

``Tell me, you dumb beast,'' demanded the Priest in his commanding voice, ``why don't you do something worthwhile. What is your Purpose in Life, anyway?''

Munching the tasty grass, The Sacred Chao replied ``MU'' (the Chinese ideogram for NO-THING).

Upon hearing this, absolutely nobody was enlightened. Primarily because nobody could understand Chinese.

(And thus shall it be always with those who follow the teachings of Aflac (The Duck) or Bflac (Blue Flamingo Ancient Cow.))

Isis, Goddess & Cow is ready for coloring.

With the 64 pack of crayons she may be colored to resemble a flamingo.

Note also that ISIS is four letters, unlike AFLAC which has five.
