Thx ...
Unfortunately, we are just beyond the reach of receiving via Digital Antenna which really bums me out since I could stay on ME-TV almost all day, unless there's a hockey game I want to catch. I do wish that ME-TV would get some sort of agreement with DirecTV.
Haven’t had broadcast TV since I left my parents home. Don’t know much about what I missed during that time.
Also sends a message to lamestream media networks:
Liberal NBC owns E!, Bravo, USA Network, MSNBC, CNBC, Chiller, Cloo, Syfy, etc etc...
Liberal ABC owns ESPN channels...
etc.
An economic "message" with a note is BEST one to send!
Thanks and bookmarked it but still don’t see anything interesting.
Cutting the cable cord doesn’t have to cost anything. If you love in or near a major city, just connect any tv antenna to your flat screen tv, go to settings>setup and let the tv scan for channels. Viola, FREE tv. Obola did do something right when he made tv stations put out digital signals. Flat screens have the digital converter built in. Stuck woth a CRT tv/analog? Purchase a digital converter.
Rural folks without access to cable? Sometimes even you can grab some signals, too.
Otherwise, use your phone if you aren’t phone compromised in some way. Sometimes rural folks, are.
You dont have to spend an additional nickle for t if you’re already paying a phone bill. There are also tons of free movie and tv streams available on line. Those don’t work as well with my phone as they do with my laptop. Computers still give lots more control over your device than phones do.
Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Most folks are better off pulling the plug on the tv, never mind the cable. They just don’t realize it after a lifetime of habit. Its amazing at how clearly one can think when not bombarded with multiple tons of bs that has to be filtered.
Yeppers. We won a big battle on the 8th, but the war continues. It’s much harder to win when we subsidize the opposition.
Ain't it the truth!
Amen and thanks for an awesome post.
I continue to be intrigued by how we can better use economic tools to win. And all it requires is minor lifestyle adjustments.
That might be an issue with the Fire Stick. I use multiple devices, Roku, Fire TV, PC, Xbox..., and the Fire Stick is the worst performing by far.
The one thing we still have satellite for is NASCAR. Can’t find any way to watch NASCAR without it.
For me, that channel is cutting away every two or three minutes and going to ads...
Here is some info. Not perfect but a start.

Very competitive so the cable company has to compete with Verizon. For customers here. Both services are good because people switch off. My town does not have verizon fiber optics but most around here do. We benefit from those folks who do.
Checked it out but Center Ice still has blackouts. Nice idea though.
#1 - TV is crap.
Bookmarked that site and i appreciate it. I am the only sports fan in the house and NASCAR is my only one. I have told my husband for a couple of years that he can ditch the satellite and I can live without it. He does usually take me to at least one race every year. We don’t watch TV more than a couple hours a week except for my races so this sounds like a great alternative. Much appreciation for pointing me in the right direction.
That was the only thing I didn’t eliminate. Once I get a separate tv I will try Roku.
We watch local network news in the morning, to get weather, traffic, and anything else going on in our part of the woods. Watch it again after work between 5 and 6 for same.
After that, it’s OAN in the evening.
If something big is happening, we find Fox on the Internet, or browse the live stations on Livestream, or YouTube.
One thing that’s pretty neat about the Roku Livestream, is that you can watch lots of the small, local stations all around the country, if something is happening in another state/city that you want to keep track of. It’s interesting to see how the small, local stations report something that’s happening in their own backyard, as opposed to how the big national news corporations report it.
(Internet radio is good for hearing how ‘locals’ think about things, too)
