[…]should first check to make sure that broadcast signals are in your area by entering your zip code in the Station Finder before purchasing any antenna. Q: Which outdoor antenna should I get? A: I’d recommend getting a professional opinion from your local TV antenna installer if you want to put up an outdoor antenna. They will make sure it is grounded properly for lightning strikes. Having said that, I do like the outdoor antennas from Antennas Direct ❯❯, Channel Master, and Solid Signal. Q: How can I get more broadcast TV channels? A: You’ll get the most channels with an attic […]
[…]like a Roku or Amazon Fire TV. I explain all of this on DisableMyCable™. Finally, for the remaining channels, you can use low-cost streaming services like Sling or Philo TV. I occasionally splurge for a movie on Amazon Video. Are you ready to begin? Keep reading! Step 1: See If You Can Get Free Broadcast Digital TV If you live near a major metropolitan area in the United States, you should be able to receive most of the network channels (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, CW), plus PBS and local stations in hi-def using an antenna. It’s called broadcast digital TV. I was […]
[…]is SLOW compared to more modern Rokus, as you will see later. The feature I would miss the most in the 2XD is voice search. In later models, you can hold the search button and simply say the name of the show or movie you want to find. You can still search using the letter picker in the 2XD, but it’s painful. The Roku 2 XD also doesn’t have a USB port, but playing video from a USB drive is probably a much lesser-used feature. The Wi-Fi on the 2 XD only supports 802.11 b/g/n and not the more modern […]
[…]went dead due to low Wi-Fi signal. Inside my home the signal strength was fine. I can’t explain the sudden dropoff. Perhaps there was some new signal interference from a neighbor? In any case, I’m not really counting this against Verizon, because I wouldn’t expect a built-in Wi-Fi router with no external antennas to have as good a range in a two-story home as a dedicated Netgear router with three external antennas! If you live in a one-bedroom apartment or a single-story home, the built-in Wi-Fi router probably will be just fine for you. It will probably work in a […]
[…]Sports, and a few others. This is huge for soccer fans! (Note: this service is only available in the U.S.) Note that starting in 2023 all Major League Soccer games will be carried exclusively by Apple TV+. Watch Tennis at TennisTV Online TennisTV offers a variety of streaming packages. As of this writing, you can pay $14.99 per month or $119.95 for the whole year. TennisTV is the official live video streaming service of the ATP World Tour and WTA. The Grand Slams are not available on TennisTV though. Watch Special Sporting Events Online For special events like the U.S. Open […]
[…]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 broadcast channels, you move seamlessly into Samsung TV Plus free streaming channels. Another cool feature is that the TV will remember your place in a streaming app […]
[…]but can exceed $1000 due to legal fees. It goes on to say: ” Traditionally, settlement offers in these type of cases have been around $3,000 per infringed work, although we have seen agreements detailing settlements of up to $14,000″ Here’s another article about downloaders being sued. While it’s unlikely you will be used, do you really want to take that chance? Is it really worth saving $5 or $6 to rent it? 3. You Could Lose Your Internet Provider Internet providers like Comcast may suspend your Internet service if you repeatedly violate the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. What does that […]
[…]page with your recordings. They are stored with somewhat cryptic file names but at least they contain the station call letters. It took me a while to figure out how to replay my recording. The key is to look at the hints at the bottom of the screen which tell you which buttons to use on this page. I was able to select my recording and play it using this “legend”. Playing While Recording A few readers have asked me if you can watch a show while it is recording. Actually, I often do this too. I start recording, do […]
[…]Cut Cable TV and Landline You can cut the cable TV portion of your service while still retaining cable Internet. If you live in an area with TV broadcast stations within 30 miles, and you have a modern flat TV, you should be able to get most of the network channels for free using an antenna. Check out DisableMyCable.com for more info on this! And yes, it’s true that “bundling saves money”, but not if you don’t use all of the bundled services. It’s also true that cable companies are raising the cost of Internet-only service, so be sure to […]
[…]reception will be poor. Next, let’s take a look at my home town of Los Angeles, CA, which lies in the basin between some fairly large mountains and a really crazy pattern: You can clearly see that the signal is pretty much stopped in its tracks to the north, where the mountains are. Also, you can see purple “shadows” where the smaller mountains are blocking the signal. Interestingly, there is a “shadow” just to the south of the transmitter where the mountain itself blocking the signal. In that area, the people live only a few miles from the transmitter, but are getting […]
[…]wonder how many people know what that means. And in this case, they actually use the word “TV” in the title, which could mislead some. Beware! How to Avoid This Pitfall Here are some tips to help you be sure you’re getting a TV with a tuner included: What to Do If You Already Have a TV with No Tuner As I’ve mentioned, if you already own one of these “displays”, you can buy a TV tuner separately. Here’s my full review of the Homeworx Digital Converter Box, one that I recommend. The other bummer is that now you’ll have yet another […]
I was at my parents’ home with the TV on in the background when I noticed something interesting: their “HD” picture quality was terrible compared to my own TV with a broadcast TV antenna. They had satellite TV from DISH Network. I have always said on my site that cable and satellite dish providers compress their TV signals, resulting in WORSE picture quality than you can get with free broadcast (Over-The-Air) TV. But I thought this picture quality was ridiculously bad! I snapped a photo of the local ABC station’s logo, then went home and did the same on my […]
[…]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 content such as HBO Max, Netflix, and Hulu. Much of this paid content is cheaper than a cable TV contract and usually requires no long-term commitment. Let me emphasize, buying a Roku alone will not get you local and cable channels! Also, understand that […]
Some years ago, I put together a video for beginners explaining how to get free broadcast TV. Despite the primitive production, it quickly went viral and got over 5 million views! The crazy part is, the concepts that I talk about in the video haven’t changed! You can still get free TV using a cheap antenna, if you live in or near a big city. Check it out and forward it to your friends who don’t know about free broadcast digital TV! I hope you found this helpful. – […]
[…]inches mattered. Now that I have lived without cable for a while, do I miss cable? Absolutely not! In the modern era of streaming channels, you can get plenty of free content, along with a lot of low-cost paid content for much less than the cost of cable TV. And, I find that I’m channel surfing less since there are fewer channels to surf. It takes me less time to find out when there’s nothing good on TV. I am also watching a lot less trash TV – stuff with no redeeming value – like mindless reality shows. I have banished these forever […]
[…]Roku App As the Tablo Gen 4 has had more time in the marketplace, there have been many folks complaining online about bugs in the Roku app such as having it crash or reset unexpectedly. The solution for many has been to purchase a $20 ONN Android streaming box from Walmart. Of course, no one should have to do that! Tablo customer support says they are aware of the issue and are releasing a solution. Reader Rick found a possible cause and workaround. For him, playback using some Roku devices was pixelated and terrible when using an external hard drive. […]
[…]on your phone, make sure the Roku is turned on and on the same Wi-Fi network. If still not working, do a firmware update on your Roku. Applications The process of playing media from my phone to my TV using the Roku is so simple that I have disconnected my Apple TV! That was the one thing I was using it for. I’ll definitely be using this feature to view my phone videos on my TV! Other uses include showing vacation photos, or doing presentations (if the slides are saved as photos). You can easily step through your photos using […]

[…]of ESPN. Starting cost is $74.99 per month for 172 channels and $84.99 for 239 channels, which is in the same ballpark as cable TV, so you should really think about whether you need all of these channels. If you’re into sports and need local channels (i.e., you can’t use an antenna in your area), it may be worth it. But if you can use an antenna to get your local channels, do that and get a cheaper streaming service. Hulu with Live TV Hulu with Live TV is the traditional Hulu streaming service plus a selection of over 50 live […]
[…]disappear; those are the ones that only have 4G on them. Now, not all of the cells on the remaining towers are 5G. To find which ones are 5G, click on the tower and look through the popup list on the left. Try to find “5G ENDC Available / Yes” in the list. If that is there, that cell is 5G. Note the cell number and find it on the map: Or, you can do the reverse and click on a cell and see if it has 5G ENDC in the popup list. Note that although T-Mobile has dedicated 5G […]
