Not exactly cord cutting, but...

Watch for advertisements in the programs too. All will be drinking Coke with the label always towards the camera or make mention of their "Ford" pickup and get paid each time it's said.

The absolute worst for that was the reboot of Hawaii Five-0. They whored themselves out to anybody who could scratch a check: every time a vehicle rolled up, they had an obvious beauty shot to make sure you knew it was a Chevy, and when they needed to search for something, they said "let me Bing that" (even though actual Bing users didn't even say that). The worst one of all, the one that got me to turn the channel and not go back, was when they had the food truck owner sitting at a table next to his truck--not only was the table loaded with perfectly-wrapped Subway sandwiches, but they also had him singing the praise of Subway. It was just way too far over the top.

I mean, product placement is nothing new; car companies had been supplying vehicles to shows for decades, but they were never that "in your face" about it. I mean, Ford supplied the vehicles for Jack Lord's original, but you just saw them appear naturally in the show, not screeching up to a closeup of the car's badging, and they only got called out in the end credits...

I cut DirectTV and went streaming with an Amazon Fire Cube and get all the news, westerns, youtube, classic movies, modern movies, and more plus local channels all with internet.

We went to antenna, Netflix (wife), Amazon Prime (wife), Disney (Kid), MyOutdoorTV (Me). Think its about $40 a month, will switch to a new one once we are bored with the ones we have.

I'm sorry, I can't figure out where to hook up the Roku on that thing!

Seems like the AFC would be a lot like the Roku all over again. I can't do 4K and I won't do Alexa.

I stream off my brother’s YT TV on the rare occasion I watch TV (the occasional OU game). Doesn’t cost a dime. I use a Leaf antenna for local news. The wife watches regular YouTube all the time. I don’t pay for TV at all. Last time I watched a movie was around 15 years ago.

I have ordered at least 4 inside antennas from Amazon and none worked and I am only an est 15 miles from OKC. I just sent back one that cost $41.00. I am looking for an inside antenna that will function properly, any recommendations?

Perfect time to take up reading.

SLING $50 a month for both orange and blue.

You can switch between the two once you have a subscription to one - I think 30 days at a time. We wanted to watch some show the other pkg had so switched, watched what we wanted, then switched back.
