The big orange cable is being laid in our neighborhood and we are looking forward to ditching cable boxes tied to cable outlets (as well as improved network speeds & setting up a mesh network).
For those that have cut the cord, I'd love to hear your TV streaming recommendations for a boring/old couple.
Want:
- Local channels for weather and news
- National "cable" news
- HGTV
- DVR-style capability because we are immune to commercials. Pause/FF is the greatest invention of modern times. Very truly I tell you, I would rather hit pause and listen to 20 dogs barking, a kid throwing a rod in his straight-piped Mustang GT with the sub woofer shaking my walls during a shoot out at a nearby apartment complex than endure another McDonalds or Sandals commercial.
We have Amazon Prime, Curiosity Stream (documentaries and non-fiction), and Apple TV (on the rare occasion we want to watch a movie and not on Prime).
Do not want:
- 4K
- Movie channels
- Sports channels
- PPV
Someone mentioned a Firestick, but I am not sure if/how I can get the locals through it (I still need a streaming service I think?). Maybe plant an antenna in the attic and somehow tie that to the network or Firestick?
Thanks for any vectors in advance! ...Now back to yelling at clouds.
