• Favorite Streaming service(s)

    From Amessyroom@VERT/TL-QWK to All on Thu Jan 16 13:56:06 2025
    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).

    Secondary services I use are: netflix, prime video

    Dropped some others to save money, but of course they are coming out with new stuff I want to see :-(

    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?

    you could always join up with an iptv site and pay. usually this is 'illegal'

    I don't watch much tv so i just download the tv shows i watch.

    So wondering what others are using. I selected them years ago for the live tv, and local channels (abc,nbc,cbs).

    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.

    One show I like to watch is Jeopardy. I've tried to find torrents of the daily episodes but it seems like those don't exist, so the only way I can watch it seems to be via CBS (which I can get over the air here).

    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?

    Just chiming in to say this is still a viable option today. Our house had an antenna already installed when we bought it in '07, and I've kept it installed ever since. Great for local news, weather, and (some) sports. Also nice for FM.

    I also use the mast as a means to get onto the roof to clean the gutters once a year.

    Actually not happy as I have been. Due to price and not being able to find stuff easily.

    $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.


    Yeah, I had too many subscriptions. Hence killing some of them. A few I have because of other subscriptions. prime (due to amazon prime) and Max due to AT&T phone subscription.

    Youtube TV started out cheaper than my local cable bill when I switched to it. I think they have increased twice over the years.

    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.

    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 had bad experience with indoor antenna,also and gave up . But my neighbor has
    had
    better luck. My father-in-law has a tower at the house, I'm sure if I mounted something on it I could get signal. But don't think I could do all the cable run into the house myself.

    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 like it. I think the only downside right now with Plex is that although the HDHomerun Flex 4K (the model I have) supports the newer ATSC 3.0 broadcast standard, Plex doesn't support the audio codec used in those broadcasts. Plex can record ATSC 3.0 broadcasts but it won't get the audio. The major TV networks have ATSC 3.0 signals in my area, and I'd like to be able to record those with Plex (as those seem to get better reception than the older broadcast signals).

    The game show Jeopardy is broadcast here on a station where their older signal (which Plex is fully copmatible with) has spotty reception for me, so I've been recording that show with the HDHomerun's DVR (instead of Plex) using the ATSC 3.0 broadcast.

    also his quotes have >>'s for himself

    http://bbs.bbses.info/tmpfusion.txt

    The >> means those lines were already quoted in the previous message, so it's a 2nd level of quoting.

    eh i could have figured that out if mystic hadn't done this to it:

    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'll try to leave a blank line. I never saw it mushed together; so wonder if the other BBSes do it for unknown reasons.

    Thanks for your input on the issue.

    Recording is a paid feature, but I believe you can have Plex use a TV tuner and stream it live for free.

    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 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.

    For everything else, DVDs.

    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.

    On my smartphone I have NewPipe, which is a client-side thing. It is handy because you can organize playlists and such without having to log into a Google account.
