Subject: CableTV, was bank on line bill pay We are switching providers here because Sparklight
is going to stream only, and I don't want that.
We do have a couple firesticks, and a Roku, and
several streaming subscriptions, but honestly, deciding what I want to stream is
not a decision I care to put effort into.
I prefer to turn on the TV when I know a show in
particular is on, or I can check my TV guide that comes in my eMail to see what
will be on, and if nothing good is on, I don't mind not watching TV at
all.
But when I do watch commercial TV, I use commercial
time to read eMails or go to the wash room, or something else that I need to do
around the house.
But this whole streaming thing of deciding over the
thousands of choices is too much and more than I care to put effort
into.

Subject: Re: bank on line bill pay I am very seriously considering cutting the cord on cable TV.- And if you can get decent high-speed internet service so you can stream, that's a perfectly reasonable thing to do. I still have Comcast basic cable (and I do mean basic, and they don't even make new customers aware the option exists) that costs me $40 per month but there's no way I want the next step up, which contains tons of crap I'd never watch, for over $100 per month. My internet service (all of it) is now handled through the mobile hotspot feature of the two 5G smartphones in the household. We stream a ton from Amazon Prime Video and Netflix, and occasionally from the various commercial networks if there's something we missed that we want to see. I have considered cutting the cable cord and with that savings, if I wanted to burn all of it monthly, I could subscribe to between 6 and 8 streaming services, including PBS Passport, and never look back. Once you start streaming it's amazing how fast it becomes painful to have to deal with commercials. I don't miss them one bit! -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H2, Build
