I did that and then canceled after 6 days. When we finally got the new TV we subscribed for good. We get the Big 10 network too so Lisa gets all of her UM games. I have the YTV app on my iphone and ipad too so I can watch tv wherever I go. I guess they just updated the ipad app for picture in picture so I can browse the internet on there while watching the game at night (although I haven't tried it yet).

Mookie! we still use cable, internet and actually have a landline phone through cable. Our cell service at the house is awful, although we get very few phone calls...basically my mother in law. I would drop cable and phone in a second, but other forces at work, plus the Red Sox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that works through Roku on multiple TVs? Youtube is $40/mo. It used to be $35 before they added Turner networks. Those who signed up during $35 go their price locked in. I'd assume if they add more channels we'd be locked in at $40. We got a cheap 2017 TCL TV off of Amazon for $300. We're not picture snobs so this was a big upgrade for us. It has Roku built into it. I'm sure most smart TVs will have a YTV app. I would seriously give the free trial a whirl. https://tv.youtube.com/welcome/ And yeah, you can have 6 YTV accounts through 1 account. You just log in and out with your Google/Youtube email after you link it to an account. I was out of the loop with this stuff, but it was really easy to do.

Lava Rock Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Many good options. Sling, Vue, YTV, Showbox, Terranium (borderline ‘legal’) ...forgetting some but point is, trash the cable if you can get good internet service. ....or good ota. One benefit of our hill is capability of bringing in about 30 channels.Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wifi is just one piece of the Internet service though. Around here it's either Comcast or Verizon that the majority of people have for their ISP. I personally have Comcast.

Instead of having 1 or 2 choices of internet delivered by wires to your house you will have tons of other options by cellular modem at faster speeds. Think of the savings alone of companies maintaining 1 cell site over hundreds of miles of wires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Question. My grill is just getting destroyed by the bears. This morning I found it in pieces dragged off the deck, even though I had let it burn, cleaned and removed the grease pan. Any tricks that might keep those little buggers away before it's destroyed? There's a mommy with 3 cubs that seems to have taken up residence at my house and some males roam the area quite a bit too...
