I haven't had cable package in 5 years and don't miss it or notice at all. If there is something specific I want that youtubeTV doesn't have 99% of the time I can find it some other way

We've had Direct Stream for a year or so plus 2 or 3 other services. Day I can go back to Xfinity, I am gone.

Son said they were thinking about dropping it . It’s a flat $65 with no contract but he says they are constantly raising prices and eliminating channels. Said commercial length is nearly unbearable.

I watch local news and sports live, everything else cloud DVR, fast forward through commercials.

Their CS is said to be terrible. I've had Time Warner, Charter, Spectrum and Cincy Fioptics. Comcast had the best bang for the buck. Spectrum CS makes Comcast look like pros.

I’ve had decent CS experience when needed. They tripped my switch by raising my box costs mid-contract. I have the boxes already. It’s a sunk cost to them. Wtf you raising the price other than it’s an end around to my contract price.

Big Sky’s first two seasons were good - storylines, quirky characters, acting, setting. The third season falls way short of that. Promise unfulfilled. Very disappointing.

Are there watching options other than Apple TV?

I don’t know. I got Apple TV just to watch this. I saw the first episode on a flight a couple of years ago and was hooked.

But I knew the character. When NBC sports first began televising the EPL, he did some promotional spots that were funny as hell.

I’ve been wanting to give it a try. The Person Who Also Resides at This Address will see if it’s available in our current package, as I am far too annoyed with all these delivery systems to try to figure this crap out.

TPWARATA is not a character from Coming to America, not a royal wiper. No. TPWARATA will have another identity in the ‘Zone.

And while you’re on Apple+, check out Slow Horses. Good show.

Ok, I probably don’t want to wade into this, but does Apple+ require an Apple TV thingy? We are pretty much all Apple in everyday life (phones, iPads, laptops), but we don’t have an actual Apple+ -ready TV.

I think.

We have a Roku TV that gets Lots of Stuff, but I don’t know if that includes Apple+.

I could go try to figure this out, but it would require a lot of alkyhol to make me go upstairs to deal with this, which makes me more willing to take this on, but also blurs the potential accuracy of my findings.

Did I mention how much I loathe dealing with what’s involved with Trying to Watch a Damn Movie These Days? #SomeEmpathyForBoomersFolks

No. To my knowledge, it’s just an app like other services. We received a free year of it after buying a watch or something like that. They don’t creat a ton of new content so I cancelled after the free year was up. Renewed a few months ago to catch up on a few shows.

Oh, ok, that makes sense. I remember getting that free subscription offer. Thanks.
