On the plus side, I just unearthed an old HDHR Connect, andI can get CBS/ABC/NBC/Fox via an over-the-air antenna, so then the question becomes what to do about cable channels?

For me, I *think* that’s basically ESPN (so, I guess I can get the baller Disney+ package) and Bravo (stop judging us), which means Peacock?

So, not dire, but not what I want. ☹️

@caseyliss This is truly not a troll even though it sorta sounds like one: What do you prefer about linear tv + DVR instead of having everything on demand via streaming (assuming you get no-ads subscriptions.) I get live sports but I’m curious about why something like Peacock is worse than Bravo via DVR.

@Timschmitz a few things:

1) cheaper
2) I control it
3) I can capture things for long-term storage if I so desire

There’s surely others I’m not thinking about

@caseyliss It's funny, in my head I still have the "streaming is cheaper" mindset from back when I first got rid of cable. Somehow it didn't occur to me until you just said it that I'm sure that hasn't been true in a while 🤯
