Between that and the shit apps that you use to watch the various streaming services, it's getting to the point where I'm about to buy a super-cheap laptop to put into the HDMI port, so I can watch through a web browser & block or sidestep some of that shit.

Yesterday I was trying to watch NFL football. The app I pay for wasn't working. Rebooted the TV a couple of times. Rebooted the Wi-Fi did all the troubleshooting yada yada yada. I lost the entire first quarter before I open up. The laptop took 30 seconds to find ' alternative', casted that to my TV from a different room and enjoyed cheering on my team for the rest of the game.

In the middle of the second half I started asking myself why I'm paying for an app that forces me to do the things that I did 10 years ago to stream games..... Yo ho ho, where's that bottle of rum?.

I made the mistake of paying for MLB tv. Can’t pause, can’t rewind, nonstop commercials for MLBtv on their own channel. Not making the same mistake with football and hockey
