Has anyone swapped their cable box out for the streaming boxes providers are pushing? Comcast, Charter, and others are pushing Xumo streaming boxes and actively phasing cable boxes out. Right now some are incentivizing you to switch by raising the price on cable boxes and lowering them on Xumo boxes. My step-dad is asking about switching and I told him it would happen either now or later but eventually it will happen. He's on board with switching to save money but I didn't know if anyone had experience with doing so. I know I'll be the one setting them up and keeping them running. So any advice would be helpful.

Haven't tried the new one, but cable boxes have the same technology they had 15 years ago. Probably won't be worse, good chance it'll be better.

In my house I have 1 Tv with a cable box and another that uses a streaming box. The only thing I’ve noticed if I’m heavily using the internet there’s a tiny bit of lag/delay when using the guide/changing channels. Can’t tell any sort of difference with picture or anything like that

I can see some truth in that argument. When I was a freshman at UT in 1974-75, I listened to an away game, and Ernie Grunfeld fouled out on five charging violations. Without the benefit of being able to see it live or on television, I was highly suspicious of that outcome until I saw him play at Stokely Athletic Center. He drove to the basket like Larry Csonka or other old-school fullbacks of that era.

On the other hand, how often have you seen Kentucky called for more fouls than their opponent, whether it is home or away. The historic pattern, to me, was that the blue bellies wound up shooting two, sometimes three, times as many free throws as their opponent. Generally speaking, that is known as home cooking.

you mean like today….. Kentucky shot 21 free throws compared to 30 for Texas A&M….. i do think teams get some home cooling…. blue bloods may get the benefit of the doubt/more calls…. and some refs are just bad….. Its just not the case for every single game that is played.

Tell that to A&M and UK. Dillingham kicks out, trips a guy, and no call. A&M gets called for it in OT and somehow the shot before the foul doesn’t count. The more aggressive team is one thing, a more consistently called game is another.

If you would like to send me individual plays then i can try to break them down for you…. My comment was a more general statement about UT basketball and worrying about what we can control…. If the Vols want more foul calls then they have to take it hard to the basket.
