Frequently Asked Questions About Broadcast TV

[…]broadcast signals. Q: Where can I get free Internet access? A: This is more difficult than getting free TV. See my suggestions to lower the cost of your Internet service.

Why I No Longer Recommend the Apple TV Streaming Player

[…]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 […]

Roku: My Number One Pick for Cable Cutters

[…]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 […]

Streaming Media Players: Which One Should You Get?

[…]from the Internet on your TV. Having said, that, there are a lot of free channels such as Pluto TV, Tubi TV, YouTube, and many more. Roku has voice search and you can stream music, photos, and videos from your phone to your TV. Since it has a lot of channels and is easy to use, Roku is now my number one set-top box recommendation! Prices range from $30 to $100 for the Roku Ultra. I recommend the Roku Ultra because it will last for years before becoming obsolete. I’m still using the first Ultra that I bought many years […]

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 […]

[…]are cheaper than cable. You Will Need Three Things: 1. A TV that is capable of receiving digital TV (DTV) signals. Most flat-screen TV’s made in 2006 or later have this capability. (Old tube-style TVs will need a converter box.) 2. A length of coax cable. This cable is usually white and the ends look something like this: This cable might already be plugged into your TV. If so, unplug the other end and leave the end plugged into your TV. Unscrew the cable from whatever it is plugged into by rotating the hexagonal cuff counterclockwise.

Why a TV Antenna Might Be Your Best Friend During the Next Disaster

[…]services available today. But, in the past year or so, I’ve been so glad to have access to free broadcast TV through my antenna. The reason is this: Broadcast TV is the most reliable medium for getting real-time news in times of crisis, surpassed only by a battery-powered radio (because that will work even if the power goes out). Cable and Internet Infrastructure is Vulnerable Cable and Internet service can be pretty flaky, even when there isn’t a disaster happening. How often does your Internet go down even when everything is normal? During a natural disaster such as a severe storm, […]

Review: The Mediasonic HOMEWORX Digital Converter Box HW130STB

[…]linking to that new version below. This is an amazingly low-cost box that lets you use a broadcast TV antenna with your older TV with a basic but functional DVR as a bonus! My only beef is that the remote control is pretty cheap and you have to aim the remote precisely at the unit for it to trigger. This was annoying but not a show-stopper for me. The picture quality and functionality of this one are great. If you need to find a converter box for your tube TV or older flat screen, check this one out! You can […]

Should You Get the Amazon Fire TV Stick?

[…]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 […]

How I Watch TV for About Zero Dollars Per Month

[…]like “Becoming Bond” and “City of Gold”. After I bought a new Mac laptop, I got Apple TV+ free for three months, so we enjoyed two seasons of Ted Lasso for free. If you have AT&T for your cell phone service, you get HBO Max for free. Some T-Mobile plans include Netflix for free. I also did this with YouTube Premium to watch the entire first season of “Cobra Kai”, which was great. You may be thinking that these free trials are only a temporary solution since you can only do them once per service. But, new services are cropping […]

Let me know your thoughts below! I hope you found this comparison helpful. – […]
