You obviously have the internet, it’s free to watch on line, the link has been posted earlier in this thread.

Unless you are totally uninterested in watching them, they’re any number of ways to watch their channel without having broadcast TV...

Yeah. I read their stuff. That’s good enough so far.

There is a HUGE difference between streaming and broadcast, BTW, I learned it with my Beta VCR back in the late 70’s. I would record shows to watch later, only to erase to record another show, without ever watching what I recorded. Of course, now there are all sorts of ways to do that.

But here is the discovery: Broadcast medium’s “hook” is the sense of immediacy. You watch it because it’s “what’s on”, and you even allow it, somewhat, to control your schedule. And yet, as I learned with the unwatched recordings, when you can watch it at your leisure, you may not ever watch it at all.

That’s what I love about Streaming. You only watch what you actually want to see, not, “what’s on right now”.

On a side note, I just started watching “The Expanse”. Best science fiction I’ve ever seen, even with it’s flaws. But I only watch it when I have some time to unwind. And no commercials since it’s on Amazon Prime. :)
