Not interested in marlin or sailfish or trolling.  I have a couple trips lined up for jigging,  casting and bottom fishing.  Much more productive.  I have been on many a trolling trip caught a few but to me they have been mostly nice boat rides.

Too each his own I guess.

Great news, and less than the bastards at Direct TV were getting from me. Have had You Tube TV for a couple years and it’s a wonderful streaming service.

I negotiated our DTV rate to about what the equivalent YTTV would be.  I'd be all for moving over to YTTV if it weren't for all the programs we have saved on our DTV DVR.  Many are accessible on demand via the channel we recorded them from but many are not.  I even have some older playoff games on it that I don't want to lose.  Some day.  Maybe.

It’s not a Netflix or Amazon Prime service…it’s a channel  (live tv) service. I found it better than Direct Tv or Hulu. You don’t watch The Bachelor? 😀

If YouTube can get it right, it can infuse football all over its platform and do things for NFL viewers that no traditional cable company ever could. But first, it just has to stream football perfectly to a lot of people paying a lot of money to watch the Packers lose from thousands of miles away. That’s not a small task.

😆🤣

YTTV, gives you everything a standard cable service gives plus more. The unlimited space and cloud dvr makes it a no brainer. You don't even delete anything. There isn't even a delete option!

The search feature finds everything you need without having to surf the guide for it. I got rid of DTV in May 2020. Haven't looked back

Nah, but my second cousin is roommates with some dude who was on The Bachelor. He said every second is scripted and you better not deviate from that script. "Reality" tv it's not.

I do like some of the British channels for different mysteries and AppleTV for Ted Lasso. Otherwise, I'm pretty much just watching sports. We do have Hulu for my wife's and daughter's shows.

Ooph. Sunday Ticket is set to $249 before the season starts; $399 after the start, on top of the monthly fee. If you want Red Zone and ST, it's $289 and $389. You can also buy them without YTTV, but it's even more expensive. That's a lot of $$ to yell at your tv.

I just ditched youtube TV this month after yet another price hike.    I'm going to pirate everything.     IPTV provider gives you 6000 channels and that includes all sporting events including PPV events, NFL, NHL, MLB, NBA and on and on.

15 bucks a month and a hide behind a VPN for a couple bucks a month.

I tried to do it the right way, but the absolute greed of these fuckers with constant price hikes was too much.   It's thier fault I'm a criminal.

I used Dofu Sports app on my phone to watch 5-6 Packer games since we’d moved and I wasn’t about to stick a dish on my new house for one year. It was a bit tedious. Go you pirates , go!

Sticking an antenna in the attic for Packers games. I ain’t paying shit to them.

I’ll be going to Tony’s Bar a few times this year.  This option worked well for many years and I enjoyed it.  In the end it may be more expensive but at least my money will be going to a local business and aPacker fan at that.

Tell it to the judge.

I hate DirecTV ( bunchafuckinbullshit) and I loathe Youtube...but even at maximum bend-over price of $349/yr for the Ticket - it still comes out to $ 20 a game. If I go to the bar, its gonna be more. The whole thing sucks. NFLFU

Cheezers posted a comment about uzzu TV, I looked em up and they seem to have a decent deal and offering, no clue if they deliver

Another fan suggested he bought "NFL International" using his VPN.
That's $129 for the season and I think you get a DVR and shortcuts  function as part of it. Shorcuts are awesome, the condensed version goes from snap-whistle-snap and you're in & out in 43 minutes.

If you’re tech competent and own a Chromecast or Firestick, look into IPTV.  There are a ton of options.  I’m currently paying 15 bucks a month for falcon iptv.   They are a reseller of yeahiptv, the main one that only accepts payment in bitcoins.

It’s amazing.   Every sporting event including UFC pay per view and way better quality then the streams you get from random websites.  

Even though you’re a huge throbbing Johnson, I’d be happy to PM you the instructions for side loading the app onto a Chromecast.  

DTV used to have shortcuts. I loved watching that - 30 minutes to see an entire game.

Uzzu.tv. No DVR that I can tell - TV channels are great as long as I can watch them on MY time not the schedule.

We would tell my brother to change the channel…what’s so confusing about that? 😅 I mean, the kid wasn’t too sharp, but he only had 3 channels to manage.

We were a Zenith family and my little brother was the remote control.

We'd fight over who got to change the channel to what we wanted to watch.  Someone eventually pulled the knob off the tv, then it broke.  So we had to use a pair of pliers to turn the stem for about a year before a storm blew the tube out and ended up getting a new tv.

We lived half way between Madison and Milwaukee.  Depending on the wind and cloud cover we could get both markets.  We had a gizmo that rotated our roof antenna into the correct position to get the best picture.  My dad was a wizard with it. If Milwaukee feed was snowy, hit the rotator and like magic the Madison station would appear.  

When we first moved to our current house, CBS still carried the NFC ( circa 1991). The closest (non- Minnesota) CBS was La Crosse.  I put an antenna in our attic that could be aimed it at LaCrosse. Every Sunday I’d climb into the attic and reset the antenna just to get 3 hours of blurry Packer games.

We had the same thing outside of Dousman, but I was the antenna rotator. It was okay until those cold January days, and the cold and wind chill combined to start popping the external plastic on the windows. I would tell my dad, "Just because it's fuzzy doesn't mean you can't see anything" although it looked like they were playing in a blizzard in Tampa. Yeah, that didn't fly.

Once we lived on a hill and our old farmhouse had a tin roof with lightning rods in about three spots in addition to the tv antenna. Whenever a storm was forecasted, we had to remove the antenna's alligator clips on the back of the tv so lightning wouldn't hit the antenna and blow up the tv. My sister and I were sitting there one day, tv antenna clips undone, when a massive BOOM! hit and in that same instant, a blue ball of lightning (about 10" across) burst out of the antenna clips, rolled around the room, and disappeared. It was there, and then it was gone. After the shock wore off, it became a contest: "YOU go move the clips so they point toward the wall!" "No, YOU do it!" That was some scary crap.

O.K.

We also had Channel 18 (UHF) which was all reruns.

Along about 1972, we got Channel 24 (also UHF) …even older reruns.

Good times.
