Ten Reasons You Need a DVR If You Watch Broadcast TV
When you think of a “DVR”, or “Digital Video Recorder”, you might think they’re mainly used for time shifting. That is, recording a show or sporting event so that you can watch it later, kinda like what we old-schoolers used to use a VCR for. While you can definitely use a DVR for time shifting, today’s DVRs can do so much more. In fact, some of their other features are way more important and useful than time-shifting TV programs. Here are my top ten reasons that I think you should get a DVR if you watch broadcast TV, along with […]
How to Use an Antenna and TV Streaming Services If You Have an Old Tube TV

Streaming Media Players: Which One Should You Get?
What Is a Streaming Media Player? A streaming media player lets you watch video from the Internet on your TV. For example, you can watch Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Disney Plus, or YouTube on your TV using one of these devices. All of these devices require that you have Internet access at your home. Most require Wi-Fi as well. Amazon Fire TV, Roku, and Apple TV, have built-in “apps” that give you content from mostly paid services like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Sling TV, etc. There are also some channels offering free video like Pluto TV, Crackle and YouTube. Google Chromecast doesn’t have apps. […]
Why I No Longer Recommend the Apple TV Streaming Player
The Apple TV streaming player is a small box that connects to your TV via its HDMI port. It gives you the ability to watch streaming services from the Internet on your TV, and it allows you to “mirror” the screen from your iPhone, iPad, or Mac to your TV. To use Apple TV, you need to have Internet access, and you’ll have to connect your Apple TV to your home Wi-Fi network or router via Ethernet cable. Connection to Wi-Fi is pretty easy as long as you know your Wi-Fi password. Why I Now Recommend Roku Instead For a […]
