https://www.tablotv.com It’s a device that acts as a TV tuner and DVR (with an external hard drive) that for over the air broadcast TV. I live less than 2 miles from the major antenna farm in the Tampa area, so I can get nearly every terrestrial station that’s broadcast in the area, around 70 channels, although only about half of them are even remotely worht watching.

Re: [MBZ] OT phone/internet and WSJ bills
Given the choice I would have no TV, but that’s not my call. I was surprised I could convince the spouse to cut the cord - Spectrum’s sudden price hike when we went off contract did the push for me. She’s happy as heck with what she has to watch now and even finds it easier to use than the cable box, which is icing on the cake. As long as she can watch what I refer to as her “murder porn” (like Discovery Investigation stuff) all is good. No cloud storage for me, thank you, I want to control and own my data. I use my own router with my own custom firewall rules and proxy to keep things out and in based on my rules. I have a FreeNAS server that has over 10TB of RAID based storage, so we’re good there. -D > On Nov 13, 2019, at 2:29 PM, Karl Wittnebel via Mercedes > wrote: > > I put in a ubiquiti network at home with a cloud key, security gateway, a > poe switch for the cameras (DVR is in the cloud key), a couple of wifi > access points.

Re: [MBZ] OT phone/internet and WSJ bills
Cut the cord on cable last month. Went from $220/month for phone/cable/Internet (undiscounted costs as we just went out of contract) down to a little over $100/month for nearly the same content, and no more land line. $60/month Internet (100/100) $50/month YouTube TV $5/month Tablo DVR This gives us a boatload of content through YouTube TV, over the air broadcasts with DVR functionality with the Tablo (also a feature of YTTV), and through various free applications like Pluto TV (400+ free channels). There’s minimal competition in this market, so if you want to pull the plug on your provider they just shrug their shoulders and tell you “Bye!” No effort for retention. Along with using Spectrum (Charter) for cable, we also moved from Verizon ($200/month for 4 lines) to Spectrum ($56/month for 4 lines) for our cellular service. Spectrum piggybacks on Verizon, so coverage is the same. -D > On Nov 13, 2019, at 12:23 PM, Floyd Thursby via Mercedes > wrote: > > OK so I was going to cancel my land line because all I get is spam calls, and > keep my internet.
