We've been streaming more lately, and have started to (almost) like it. This far north, satellites are lower on the horizon and reception behind or around trees is a bit sketchy. With the Dish subscription, we can get even live network (and sub network) shows online. We've also been following a version of the billy.p plan of trying a service to see if we want to keep it. But no, I still haven't picked up an interest in Ted Lasso.
Wanker,
I can't believe it. Did you see Nathan's speech?

Oi!
Watch Ted!

I get great digital TV reception via the rooftop antenna. Probably a clear line-of-sight to Sutro Tower. That said, I'll probably plug in the Roku for a free sample once it starts raining here. If ever.

Fuck that shit. Get a vintage tube tv and also a radio. They will not be affected by rain like this modern digital shit is. Watch and listen in peace.
Yeah, there's just nothing like electrons jumping across a gap between two ridiculously thin screens that possess opposite charges. The applications are endless.
Vrudy apparently keeps on quoting me but I'm not going to respond any more, not even with a ho-hum or variation thereof. Why? Because it's understood. Vrudy is a total bore.
Somebody, and it might have been I, said you can't successfully connect a roku to an ancient vcr. We'll see.
It's not an "ancient VCR".
How many times will I have to repeat that?
Maybe I misunderstood. I thought you said it was a combo DVD/VCR player. The last one of those was made in 2016, most manufacturers stopped making them at least 5 years before that. I stand by my characterization of "ancient."
Well, some of you may be pleased to hear that one of my combo DVD/Tape Recorders has gone kaput. Fortunately it's the older of two, and the other one is still working just fine. I suspect it's a capacitor issue. I took the kaput one apart and saw the darn capacitor hanging suspiciously, LOL.
Meanwhile I have a couple of even older backup units - one is another VCR/DVD recorder combo, the other is a DVD recorder/Hard drive combo. I know the DVD/VCR recorder works, cause I was using it for security purposes about five years ago. The issue for me is that neither of these backup units has HDMI output like the allegedly obsolete VCR/DVDR combo units I've been using. So hooking it up to the closest TV will be more of a challenge. But, doable. The backup units both have SVHS outputs so there is hope.
Oh, and I did look online for a replacement. Guess what? New versions of the combo unit I have are going for $1200 or more! I did find a used/abused one for about $100, and I'll probably pull that trigger on that.

We all know that it won't last, you've thrown these tantrums so many times before. You just can't help yourself, I've made you my bitch.

It's all good. But it is complicated.
Do you record everything you watch?

Antennas are great. I have a really fancy one because of my elevation and proximity to any broadcasts. I get around 40 channels - 20 are christian.
I like the convenience of never having to watch anything at a particular time. Everything is already recorded for me.

No, that would be way too much work. Plus I often record stuff I don't watch at the moment, so I can watch it later when it's convenient.
Currently recording to DVD some Vincent Price movies: The Fly, and Return of The Fly. I remember when these came out, my best friend was all agog about it.
"Help me! Help me!"
They are being shown on a commercial channel. The advantage of recording to DVD is that I can fast forward through the commercials.

No commercials on most of the pay channels. I use to go to Auburn football games and would record some other game that I wanted to watch. That and a few movies is about it. Now, all are available anytime and anywhere from some cloud somewhere.

Our antenna is a semi-directional model that can rotate and has signal strength lights. Works very well if we're within reasonable distance of stations. I've got an app that shows what stations should be available. Even though I like being able to record and watch at will, we do still do appointment TV for favourites if it's convenient. Other shows that come on at times that are never convenient get recorded every episode.

I don't have any apps but occasionally have an "opps." One can just enter the zip code or name of a town or city and find the location of all the transmitters in that particular area. That's how I determined where to place my antenna and I get about twenty channels.
