Kolek planning to go pro
I’ve got the opposite issue, my man. In fact, on the toilet right now.
Can any of you nerdbaits help explain if and how having Fiber internet would impact streaming?I may soon have Xfinity fiber and may go to YouTubeTV or another streaming service.. will the lag still be CRAZY for live sports (crazy = 15 seconds)?Will having Fiber make a big difference in doing anything for me???
Looking at kicking Spectrum completely. ATT is offering 300 Mbps at a better price with a 1TB data cap. The one thing holding me back is the data cap.If we're streaming on two TVs (one far more than the other), while also working from home a couple days per week, will we have to worry about it?
You can get a 2 year deal with price lock for Directv by going through an authorized dealer. Never do the 1 year deal that is offered by outside contractors that set up shop in retail stores. They offer no other service if you have issues as opposed to a dealer who you can call directly if you have an issue. Not trying to push directv -just clearing up a misconception.
Thanks. Multiple dealers offered me same thing. 2 year deal. But 2nd year doubles the first year price. Are you saying you can lock in the discounted first year price for 2 years? Example: $52.13 Choice package......but doubles to $110 year two in their offer. Contract is 2 years. I would likely be doing Choice or Extra package. First year price I believe includes Regional Sports fee $7 plus movie channels. Thanks.
Yes. That is what I'm saying. I had talked to a contractor at Menards and they only offered a one year deal. I found a dealer in Milwaukee who offered a two year deal with the price locked at the same rate for two years. They also threw in NFL Sunday Ticket (watch all NFL games) free for the 1st year. This was two years ago so I don't know if there is still the same deal. If you live in the Milwaukee area, I can give you the dealers name.
https://www.cordcutters.com/huludisneyespn-bundle-should-scare-hell-out-folksMaking me contemplate abandoning Netflix as the wife watches a lot of shows on our cable that she could get on Hulu.Meaning I could drop DirecTV and Netflix. Stick with the Disney bundle and Amazon prime.
I'm going to be a day 1 adopter of Disney+ but I'd wait until you go all in with their cord cutter package.......Disney does a fantastic job from a content library (having a dream set of content) but they have yet to show that they can do content delivery (think user experience).Netflix has a killer delivery model but they may be out maneuvered by Disney in content library standpoint....it'll be fascinating to see which one wins.Short term, this competition is going to be fantastic for consumers. Long term, I very worried about the content generators being owned by the content providers. That kind of vertical monopoly will never end well for consumers.

I don't know if that will be true - at least for many years.In 2018, Netflix had over 1,500 hours of original content. Of course they had more than that of non-original. HBO charges users more than Netflix with just a fraction of the content. Whereas Netflix, in its early stages was where you went to find commercial free content from an assortment of sources. it is now the producer of massive amounts of content - both stand-alone and in cooperation with other studios.If Disney works out as they plan, I think cable and satellite are the big losers, not Netflix. Disney/HULU Live/ESPN and Netflix and HBO will be all that is needed. I assume tens of millions will have Amazon Prime because of the free shipping benefit.
The question is how much of Netflix original content do people watch vs non-original content. For example, will consumers drop Netflix when NBC/Disney/other networks pull their content and leave Netflix with ONLY their original stuff?
Really enjoying YoutubeTV and saving a crapton of money in the process. With football and hoops on the way, I'm thinking of adding an antenna to be able to watch the national games (actually) live.I'm within 2.5 miles of the towers in MKE and can't get crap in with the indoor one. Anyone install, or have had a roof/attic antenna installed? I'm curious about how difficult/costly it is to do.
Eh I wouldn't bother with it. Your only like 10 seconds behind.
You’re vs. your.I cut the cord last week - moves to YTTV. So far, so good, but watching games while being on Twitter may be painful.
