I gave up on cable years ago, a streaming service that lets me curate my own favorites list and ignore the rest of the crap out there is really all I need or want.
Can't say I've even THOUGHT about broadcast TV.
We should all consider broadcast tv … at least if we occasionally like live video, like sports. I’m not subscribing to an expensive new service for the handful of nfl games I watch in a year, for example
Actually, I do kind of wonder whether sports moving to exclusive streaming channels has affected sports bars. I’ve never gone to such a place intentionally to watch a specific sport, but I’m tempted to, over subscribing to a new expensive streaming service
Before streaming, my TiVo was able to mitigate excessive advertising (and let me watch shows in a fraction of the time), I should look for something like that
