[…]through your home’s Wi-Fi network (some models also have Ethernet connector), so you need an Internet connection to use it. Roku allows you to watch paid and free streaming services from the Internet such as Netflix, Sling, Disney+, HBO Max, Hulu, and YouTube on your TV. When Roku first came out, there was a lot of misunderstanding as to what it was, with many folks thinking it was a free replacement for traditional cable TV. It is not an exact replacement for cable. It allows you to watch some free content from the Internet (like YouTube) on your TV, as well as subscription […]
[…]you are going through all of this trouble, you should consider just going with a rooftop or attic antenna, if that is possible in your dwelling. A rooftop or attic antenna will get you the best signal quality and the most channels. An outdoor or attic antenna will be better than an indoor antenna. Before doing any of this, I recommend buying a single antenna and trying it out at each TV location. Here are my recommended tools and supplies if you want to run your own cable: To Sum Up Which solution you choose depends on your situation. The […]
[…]pay for Internet access, but I’m not counting that as part of my TV viewing cost because I need Internet access for my work. Unfortunately, it seems that cable companies are raising the price of that to compensate for losing cable TV subscribers. And, I don’t watch pirated (illegal) content (here’s why). So, if you’re looking for a way to watch all of the latest movies and TV shows for free, you’ll be disappointed with this article. This is more about how I find enjoyable free content to watch, not necessarily how to watch the latest movies and shows out […]

[…]when you have no Internet access. That means you can’t watch live TV or recorded shows on your AirTV when your Internet is down. This isn’t a big deal most of the time, but one of the cool things about broadcast TV is the ability to still watch TV when your Internet is down. Closed Captioning AirTV supports closed captioning when playing back live TV. I have not verified, however, if it records closed captions and will display them on playback. It’s on my “to do” list but if anyone knows, please leave a comment below! Reliability In my testing, […]
[…]almost any content that you can get on your phone. Samsung is not the only brand that has TVs with AirPlay. Some Sony, LG, Vizio, Insignia, and Roku TVs also feature Airplay. 3. Integrate streaming channels with broadcast/cable TV channels In the Samsung channel guide, when you go past the last cable or broadcast TV channel, you’ll go into Samsung’s TV Plus free streaming channels, which look just like regular TV channels. There’s no real distinction between cable/broadcast channels and Internet streaming channels on this TV. The above screenshot of the channel guide shows that once you get past the […]
[…]Internet is down. Also, with the old Tablo, you could still watch TV and your recordings with no Internet. Because of this, the need for Internet seems like an artificial requirement, perhaps to gather data on our viewing habits, or due to contractual obligations with the streaming service providers. In the comments below, reader Wade points out that you could add a splitter to your antenna cable and feed the other antenna signal directly to your TV for viewing when there is no Internet. Thermal Management Some users had heat issues with the previous generation Tablos, causing some to even […]
[…]get ESPN and ESPN2, plus other channels like AMC, A&E, and the History Channel. You’ll need an Internet connection and a computer or iOS device, or a set-top box like a Roku, Amazon Fire TV, or Xbox One to watch it. Once you’re set up, you get full access to ESPN, just like when you had cable TV, but for a fraction of the cost! Note, Sling TV only works on one device at a time, unless you subscribe to their Orange+Blue services at $40/month. If you want to record shows, they offer cloud-based recording for $30/month. Watch ESPN and […]
[…]easy-to-use software, with the DVR functionality requiring some research online to get working. 3. AirTV 2 / AirTV Anywhere The AirTV DVRs from Sling (which is owned by DISH) have good tuners, are completely wireless, and have no channel guide subscription fees. The AirTV 2 has two tuners to allow viewing or recording of two broadcast TV show at a time. It requires an external USB hard drive for recording. Note that it only uses the first 2TB of drive space, so don’t buy a bigger drive for it. The AirTV Anywhere has four tuners and 1TB internal hard drive. […]
[…]my mom set up a smart TV, for example. Because my new Samsung is so tightly integrated with the Internet and has so many features, the user interface is more complex than on TVs from, say 2010. The main thing is that the remote is now a 4-way keypad and you basically cursor around the screen to do things. If you’re comfortable with that, it’s fine, but it could be a turnoff for users who are accustomed to simply using the channel up and down buttons. The new Samsung remote control has fewer buttons and looks simpler than my old […]
If you have an old tube TV like the one shown here, or a flat screen that does not have a built-in digital tuner (made before 2006, when digital tuners were mandated), you won’t be able to watch modern broadcast TV using just an antenna. You’ll either have to buy a new TV, or buy a digital TV converter box (also called a tuner box) in order to get free TV using an antenna. Converter boxes run about $30 to $50. Consider These Points Before You Buy a Converter Box The cost of new flat screen TVs has come down […]
[…]when you turned it on, you might have to enable it. On your Apple TV, go to Settings -> Airplay and make sure Airplay is turned on. iPhone Instructions On your iPhone, swipe up from the bottom of your iPhone screen to reveal the Control Center: Tap the Screen Mirroring button. If you don’t see it, check the troubleshooting section at the end of this article. If it worked, you should be able to select “Apple TV”, or whatever your Apple TV device has been named. iPad Instructions Apple has changed how you access the Control Center (unfortunately). It used to […]
[…]an outdoor antenna If you got all orange or red channels or no channels, you’ll need to use Internet streaming services for TV. How to See Which Direction to Point Your Antenna To see which direction the TV signal is coming from, click on the station’s call letters on the left side of the map. The map will then show the TV transmitter towers with a black line to your location. My Recommended Indoor Antenna A rooftop outdoor antenna will get you the most channels. But if you’re not able to install a rooftop antenna, I recommend the Mohu Leaf indoor […]
[…]an app like you can with Tablo or AirTV. The other necessary connections are power, antenna, and Internet. The unit won’t work without an Internet connection You can connect it to your home network via wired Ethernet, or wirelessly through Wi-Fi, which is great if you don’t want to run cable from your router to your DVR. Once connected, you’ll be guided through a pretty standard set of pages where you enter your Wi-Fi network password using a letter picker (unless you’re connecting directly via Ethernet cable) and scan for channels. On my unit, a software upgrade was required, causing […]
[…]unit, the Roku Ultra. Each unit accomplishes its basic mission: streaming media from the Internet via Roku channels. But, each subsequent generation has more features and improved performance. 1. Roku 2 XD The Roku 2 XD was introduced in July 2011 and is among the second generation of Roku players. It can output up to 1080p resolution, so it’s still usable today in most TVs today. Roku has announced that it is no longer supporting the Roku 1 and 2. Some apps won’t work on it, which could be a huge problem. Another annoying problem with the 2XD is its […]

[…]not as flashy as the channel guides on some of the more refined DVRs out there like the Tablo or AirTV. Those are much easier to set up recordings on, or even record whole seasons (however they require Internet access to display the guide). The Homeworx unit only shows one channel’s shows at a time. And note, you can’t record one show while watching another since the unit only has one tuner. But, as I mentioned, at this low price, this box is worth it just for the converter functionality. I see the DVR as a bonus that you may […]
[…]not just right next to your TV. This might be really appealing if you have your antenna in your attic, and you don’t want to run coax all the way to your TV. Instead, you can just put your Tablo in your attic, the watch it using Rokus (or other devices) on your TVs! A Network-Connected Tablo also lets you watch your recordings on your mobile device from anywhere, as long as you subscribe to the Tablo TV Guide Data Service. For these reasons, I would recommend a Network-Connected Tablo for most people. Personally, I like watching TV from my […]
