Cutting the Cord

#54
(This post was last modified: 02-10-2020, 08:44 AM by RicoTx.)

Boy, I didn't realize how old this thread was.  I'm surprised I remembered this far back.

Well, finally going to cut the cord myself.  I've been experimenting with YouTube TV and Netflix the last few days.  I like the content but I think the interfaces are a but clunky.  Maybe it's because I'm so used to the cable/satellite guides.  My big fear is that I have to teach my wife how to use them.  She is not the most tech savvy person.  Without going into too much detail...we've had DirecTV for at least 10 years and she still doesn't know how to use (or find) the channel guide.  I foresee a lot of texts at work once I do cut the cord.  I'm going to wait until my free trial period for YouTube TV is over before I completely cancel DirecTV.  That, I had have to set up my Roku on my one non-smart TV in the bedroom.  I doubt it's very complicated...just didn't get around to it after we bought it yesterday.  I do not my connection speed is plenty fast enough because we've been watching Netflix wirelessly in the furthest room from the modem and it's been fine.

On a related note, I have been binge-watching The Black List.  I had lost track of it when I moved into this house three years ago because of numerous issues.  I'm almost up to date.  We both started semi-binge watching Dexter.  I know I'm way behind on that as I never had Showtime of a streaming service.  We're almost through year one.

Any recommendations on other streaming services for sports or anything at all?  It looks like I can get almost everything I want from YouTube TV and Netflix (or Amazon)  and that will save me damn close to $100 a month.
