Okay, so I just went to Radio Shack, spent $52 on two adapter cords to hook up my computer to my 55-inch screen TV. Watching Fox now! How awesome is technology! DirecTV and our local Fox affiliate can both go jump in a lake!

DirecTV is horrible. I dumped them over 5 yrs ago. Had a computer built for streaming video and hooked it up to my 60" using an HDMI cable. Never looked back. Use a bluetooth keyboard and sit on the couch or recliner watching tv or surfing the web. AND, no more satellite going out with the South Florida rain storms. No more wasting $90 a month on horrible programming that just got worse every year.

I went through every TV in the house today trying to get FOX and of course, the oldest TV in the house picks it up over the air with a set top antenna like a champ. So it looks like crisis averted for now, but I'm going to take some of you guys suggestions and implement them tomorrow so I can see where I get my best results.

Now I must make an animal sacrifice of two snails and one roly poly so the great football spirits will be with the Cowboys tomorrow.



Okay.......just kidding about the animal sacrifice.

I think that is the same setup my sweetie has. I love it. We will watch the skinnies and fillies games early today and ours later.

Anyone stream through their gaming consoles? XB1? Via the browser?

I used to stream shows and movie until I kept getting these warnings from my internet provider. I'm in the Army and cannot afford to get in a legal battle over it.

Various streams on sites like firstrow or vipbox etc.

For baseball I pay for MLB.tv. I love it and wish the NFL would do something like that. Never happen as long as they can rape DirecTV like they do tho.
