I finally cut the cable, questions...

Unread post by Rabidraider »

Finally cut the cable after bill went over $250 a month for crap I never watch.

Scumbag Comast still hitting me with $95 a month on 500 speed Internet. It is what it is...

I get Netflix, Apple, Prime and Max which cover 95% of what we watch.

Just looking for the locals CBS, NBC, ABC and Fox for football.

Tried two antennas but they dont work where I am located without a major project going up on the roof or attic.

Any decent 4k options for the locals?

Thanks!

How was the buffering? Did you have to take Bufferin?

Under the NFL app last week I got every game but the Raider game and Redzone. Like you I went to a local Vegas station and watched it there. This week the NFL APP Raider game was fine as well as the Redzone.

I decided to subscribe to NFL plus PREMIUM. $99 for the season. The only catch is no biggie. You can only watch the replay and it only becomes available when the game ends. So the 1pm can be replayed at 4pm and the 4pm game can be replayed at 7pm. But this is good. It opens up my Sunday, especially for weeks with a 1pm game. Now Ill have 6-7 hours from 9-4 to do stuff, instead of two 3-hr blocks that usually get wasted doing nothing. And with 4pm games,I get a full day for other stuff. The other nice feature is the replay cuts out commercials and 1/2 time, so you can watch the full 3-hr game in 1.5 hours. They even have a condensed game where huddles are also cut out and you can watch the game in 45 minutes. There is also a feature where they show the game in the coaches high in the sky view.
