I currently use Youtube TV as my primary service, but they are raising prices.
So wondering what others are using. I selected them years ago for the live tv, and local channels (abc,nbc,cbs).

I've been looking into IPTV for my local TV service. I want to replace Comcast cable + Internet + phone with AT&T Fiber, SIP phone service, some paid streaming services and IPTV for local TV.
It sounds a little rough around the edges. There's no support on Roku, but Amazon Fire devices can.
Are you able to get over-the-air broadcast TV with an antenna?

I bought 2 indoor HDTV antennas - no luck finding any stations. I've got a mountain range between me and most of the stations.

are you happy with them? and how much did they raise it to? you seem to be subscribed to a lot of streaming stuff. is this cheaper than just cable television?Actually not happy as I have been. Due to price and not being able to find stuff easily.
you could always join up with an iptv site and pay. usually this is 'illegal'I'm not familiar with iptv, I'll do some research.
I don't watch much tv so i just download the tv shows i watch.I've done this on occasion, especially if it is an show from the UK. I get a brit friend to help me.

I'm in an area where I can get those channels over the air with a TV antenna. And I use a HDHomerun network-attached TV tuner, which can stream TV channels to my various devices with their app; I also have a Plex media server on a dedicated PC which is configured to use that TV tuner - Plex can stream the live TV channels as well. I have an internal PCI Express TV tuner in my Plex PC (which I bought before I found out about the HDHomerun, which is a stand-alone device). Both the HDHomerun and Plex can also act as a DVR.
Aside from the streaming options available with the setup, I think another nice thing is that the antenna and everything can be set up in a central place, so I don't need to attach antennas to my TVs. I currently live in an apartment, but if I had a house, I'd consider mounting a TV antenna on the outside near the roof, like people did in the old days.Haven't had much luck with indoor HD antenna's , I actually have a tower erected at both of my houses. But would be a pain to run cable into house from outside; would prefer a indoor solution. I was using one of the flat HD anntennas when testing in the house.

I use plex, but have not looked into tuners before. I had never heard of HDHomerun before regoining the BBS scene. I'll have to do some research and see how these work and their costs. I new plex could use a tuner, but have never had a computer with space for an actual add-on tuner card.

The HDHomerun actually isn't an internal card, it's a stand-alone box that plugs into your network. Plex is able to connect to it and use it as a TV tuner to stream and record broadcasts though. You could buy an internal tuner card if you want though (one is the Hauppauge WinTV).
Since the HDHomerun is a stand-alone box, it also has its own smart app you can install on your devices to connect to the tuner and steram live TV.
I have an HDHomeRun too (and recording into Plex DVR) - it works great, but nobody watches the recording in my household. It's Internet streaming all around. <shrug>

$82.99. I was actually paying that previously, to get extra streams. But removed that after my MIL passed away. Now they have added that 9.99 to the base price.

I would be intrested as well if you don't mind droping me a message as well :)
How are these messages getting quoted like this? Is it a specific reader? BBS version or something? Is it properly rendered on Sync? Would hate to fiddle with my settings on vert when this is the only user it happens with.

The >> means those lines were already quoted in the previous message, so it's a 2nd level of quoting.
Am I doing something wrong in how I'm quoting? I don't see the messages as the other user posted, all together.

In at least one message, I saw that you had written replies directly below quoted sections without adding a blank line in between. I suppose it's not wrong, but I think having a blank line between a quoted section and your reply would make it a little more readable. And it looks like other BBS systems or readers may look at those peices of text and wrap it all together if there isn't a blank line in between (though that's just a guess).

Does the free version of Plex let you
use the HDHomerun or is that a pay
feature? I'm assuming the recording and
commercial cutting functionality are
paid features...

I set a personal Piped instance so I can watch Youtube without eating any advertisement. There is no way I am going to send a dime those sucker's way.
I don't really pay for any streaming service. My father used to do Amazon Prime, but they rarely have anything worth your time.
do you watch it on your computer? because you can use brave browser for that.

Well, I have a server which can be reached from anywhere. The idea is I can visit it using any device with any web browser. It is handy if you are at a party and want to show somebody a video but you don't have your device with you.
so what are you using for that? plex?
