Off the TV Grid
Posted: Thu Jun 23, 2016 11:32 pm
As most of you know, I am cheap
Always go for FREE (insert OCNA plug here)
After better than 27 years the NCS is on board (she had cable before we met and I had it shortly thereafter)
After some recent frustration with Uverse (2.5 years of service) and much more of TWC previously, we are likely embarking on the free TV market. (OK the newish car purchase helped drive this too)
I watch A LOT of TV and enjoy it. I have purchased and installed an antenna (Ollies $20 amplified rotating version, best deal anywhere, hooked up to the old TWC cable in the house providing all TV's access) Get all the major networks plus others ( looks like about 16+ channels or so with a few of interest)
I have access to Netflix (via WDLive plus) and can chromecast from the desktop. (though I am thinking of adding an old computer for direct access in the same room without obligating another computer)
I have a multitude of saved programming not available in the US on my computer (British and other country shows but the I have seen them)
Most networks that I can't get will put their shows up on their website for streaming which I could view delayed with the extra computer or chromecast. (like The Walking Dead, have to see that)
I find we do usually watch the major networks and access to most other shows I might be interested in are available on their respective websites which I can access. Those few other programs I might be interested in (Game of Thrones etc) that are only shown by cable and the like are available elsewhere but I won't go into that.
Anyone else out there that is Off the TV Grid but actually enjoy TV ?
