[…]line and disconnect it, you can connect your antenna to this cable and use it to distribute free TV throughout your home! This will require a little detective work. Look in your garage, basement, and outside of your home to see where the cable company’s cable connects to your home. There should be a junction box where it connects. If you had satellite, look where the cable from the satellite dish comes into your home. Note, you might need special tools to disconnect it, and it might be a violation of the cable/satellite company rules to mess with their equipment, just […]
[…]is “no”. There is a DIRECTV NOW service with the Roku app, but that is separate from DirecTV, and DirecTV customers can’t use the app without subscribing. Xfinity does have a beta Roku app that lacks some features but is still usable. Spectrum TV does have a Roku app that allows you to watch your content using a Roku, but only when connected to your home’s Internet (i.e., you can’t use it in a hotel, for example). So in this case you could use it as a substitute for a cable box. Since this site is about cutting cable and satellite, I don’t subscribe […]
[…]folks have complained about. I love free channels, so I found many of the ones I like such as Tubi TV, and Pluto TV. I’m also really into YouTube, but due to the feud between Amazon and Google, the YouTube app has been pulled off of the Amazon Fire TV store a few times. Currently, it’s back on there, but the YouTube TV and YouTube Kids app are not available. In any case, you can still watch YouTube on Fire TV using Amazon’s Silk browser. The experience is nearly the same as using a native YouTube app. There’s even a […]
[…]out! Scroll to the bottom of the page and click “Stream Now” for the free movies. 4. Sling Free TV Sling has a great low-cost streaming service but I recently discovered that it has a free TV streaming service as well! No credit card or sign in needed! I immediately started watching “The Walking Dead”. Well worth checking out! 5. Plex Plex really upped their game and now offers some great movies and TV shows. Check out the “Plex Picks” and you’ll see what I’m talking about. Another cool feature is that if you use their search bar, it will […]
[…]on your TV, and it allows you to “mirror” the screen from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac to your TV. To use Apple TV, you need to have Internet access, and you’ll have to connect your Apple TV to your home Wi-Fi network or router via Ethernet cable. Connection to Wi-Fi is pretty easy as long as you know your Wi-Fi password. Why I Now Recommend Roku Instead For a long time, I used my Apple TV for two exclusive features: the ability to play iTunes-purchased movies, and for AirPlay, the ability to mirror an iOS device’s screen to the […]
[…]are cool! :-) If you don’t want to spend any money, check for days when the museum is free. Most have a free day of the week or month. Check out my favorite museums in Los Angeles. 29. Do some gardening You’ll get some exercise, your garden will look better, and your plants will appreciate it. 30. Detail your car like you did with your first car Remember how psyched you were when you got your first car, no matter how old it was? When was the last time you vacuumed the inside and waxed the outside? You’ll feel […]
[…]were YouTube, Tubi TV, Pluto TV, Sling TV, Tablo, and Google’s free TV streaming app, Google TV Freeplay. Seems like every manufacturer these days (i.e., Samsung) has their own “Pluto TV”-style free streaming channel these days. Google’s is not bad at all, featuring 159 channels of TV shows, movies, and even local news. Of course, there are many many many more apps available! That’s one of the advantages of this box over, say, Apple TV. The Tablo Gen 4 (DVR) App For those of you who are looking at this device to use with a Tablo Gen 4 DVR, I tested […]
[…]and be prepared to return it if it doesn’t work for you. My Channels I now watch dozens of free broadcast TV channels. This includes all of the major networks, several PBS channels, and many local stations. Summary So, after years of antenna testing, the best indoor TV antenna that I’ve found remains the Mohu Leaf! I’m not using a powered antenna, amplifier, or splitter. I am using good RG6 coax cable with just enough length to do the job. Of course, the TV reception in your home will be different and unique. But, I believe that in most cases […]
[…]encountered some bugs while navigating. There are some software bugs. Channel Guide Cost Free. Free. Countries It Works In U.S. Gen 4 only works in the United States. Older Tablos would work in Canada as well. Conclusion For most people, I would recommend Tablo Gen 4 over AirTV 2 due to the superior user interface, better drive compatibility, and better customer service. However, if you want to be able to view live TV and your recordings away from home, then AirTV is a good choice. What do you think of your AirTV? Any questions? Please leave a comment below. For […]
[…]if your VCR supports it. Then plug the USB stick into your computer. Launch the “honestech TVR” app (I know, sounds super sketchy!!). You’ll see a window showing what is coming out of the VCR. Press “Play” on your VCR, then hit the record button on the software to start recording! Pretty simple! The actual picture quality is better than what is shown here, because I had to take a photo of my screen (a screen capture wouldn’t work on the player). Recording Options Before you hit the red Record button, take a moment to think about what recording file format […]
[…]guide, when you go past the last cable or broadcast TV channel, you’ll go into Samsung’s TV Plus free streaming channels, which look just like regular TV channels. There’s no real distinction between cable/broadcast channels and Internet streaming channels on this TV. The above screenshot of the channel guide shows that once you get past the broadcast channels, you move seamlessly into Samsung TV Plus free streaming channels. Another cool feature is that the TV will remember your place in a streaming app after you turn off the TV. So let’s say you turn off the TV in the middle […]
[…]to navigate using the remote. The first thing I did was check out the channel guide and watch live TV using the TV connected via HDMI. A pet peeve of mine with many broadcast TV DVRs is how long it takes to tune a new channel. Hands down, the TiVo was the fastest DVR that I’ve tested, taking only 2-3 seconds to tune a new channel after selecting it in the channel guide. Nice! I was able to pause live TV, then fast forward to the current time with no problems. I also love the remote control. It’s pretty chunky, […]
[…]costs. You might not have heard of Mint Mobile or Republic Wireless, but everyone has seen TV commercials for Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile. In addition, MVNOs generally have fewer retail locations or are online only. That saves a ton of money. MVNOs may not offer some features and perks like international roaming, free anti-spam app, or phone financing. Some plans don’t offer mobile hotspots. Finally, a lot of these low-cost carriers require you to pre-pay for up to a year at a time, to get their lowest rates. But, that means they don’t lose money on deadbeats who don’t pay […]
[…]use the Tablo. I spend little to nothing on streaming TV services. I watch over-the-air broadcast TV, free video services like YouTube, and some pay services on a temporary basis to binge-watch certain shows, then I cancel them. Read more about my current antenna setup in my blog. Expanding to Cover Internet and Cellular Services As people have shifted away from traditional cable TV, the cost of Internet access has gone up. So, I’m now covering ways to lower the cost of Internet access (as well as cell phone service). I personally switched from cable Internet to Verizon 5G Home […]
[…](and review for y’all). To be clear, these devices will record broadcast TV shows, not cable TV or streaming TV. You need to attach your own TV antenna. Some models require external USB storage while others have internal storage. You can watch and record shows using their app, which is available for Mac, PC, and the most popular streaming boxes and mobile devices. But the apps won’t work outside of your home network. These devices do not have HDMI output; you do not connect them directly to your TV. The DVR functionality requires a $35/year fee, however, you can use […]
[…]have to buy a new TV, or buy a digital TV converter box (also called a tuner box) in order to get free TV using an antenna. Converter boxes run about $30 to $50. Consider These Points Before You Buy a Converter Box The cost of new flat screen TVs has come down so much that you might want to consider just buying a new TV if you can afford to spend a little more. Here are some reasons why: Whatever you decide, you should make sure there are broadcast TV signals in your area before making any purchases. Enter […]

Some Things You Could Do Instead of Watching TV Here are some things to do if you decide to give up TV during Lent: I’m sure you have plenty of things that you can think of!

[…]do a firmware update on your Roku. Applications The process of playing media from my phone to my TV using the Roku is so simple that I have disconnected my Apple TV! That was the one thing I was using it for. I’ll definitely be using this feature to view my phone videos on my TV! Other uses include showing vacation photos, or doing presentations (if the slides are saved as photos). You can easily step through your photos using your remote. You can use the music player for playing background music at a party! Isn’t this cool? What do […]
[…]software, with the DVR functionality requiring some research online to get working. 3. AirTV 2 / AirTV Anywhere – May Be Discontinued OCTOBER 2024 UPDATE: The AirTV 2 and AirTV Anywhere are no longer available on the Sling website and AirTV 2 is no longer in stock at many other online retailers. I chatted with Sling customer service who said the AirTV 2 is “discontinued on sling.com” although they would continue to support it and referred me to another site which is blowing out the AirTV 2 and AirTV Anywhere at massive discounts. So, although you can get a great […]
[…]to. If you like having the TV on all of the time in the background, try using an antenna to get free broadcast TV. Or you can stream YouTube all day for free. So, if you’re serious about these changes, consider canceling the “all you can eat” buffet of TV content that you are paying for via cable TV and streaming services, just like you’d hide the cookie jar when you’re trying to diet! Another Motivation: Saving Money If living longer and healthier is not enough motivation, consider the money you could save by not spending it on cable and […]
