I can imagine it. I'd walk into a bar and sit down next to an attractive woman. "Excuse me, do I come here often?"

Eh cyber dated far too long, it seems possible for me though, and I feel confortable with it though, but in the flesh to really get to know them too, I can do either way with anyone. Eh what's the worst could ever happen though, well catfishing too.No, not me...I needed parental permission to get married.

On topic of television : I think the commericals run together even more, but it seems more cheerful depending on the network too. Something new or something old.
Seriously Watching TV became love lifes?

It's not an option for everyone but if you have a computer, install a TV tuner card in it or get a TV USB adapter. This gives you the ability to watch online streaming content like you normally do but with the added feature of watching broadcast TV shows too. Get the appropriate tuner card and it will have a minimal impact using your PC's system resources as the card has its own on-board CPU to do the on-the-fly conversions, I'm a fan of Hauppauge PCIe cards:

Most of the time I just have a billion albums downloaded from my youtube music selection, the t.v. is pretty cooled anyway, I do not like to turn it on mostly though. Just sometimes when I am in the mood to do it.
You're making some very good, and valid points. However, for me, DirecTV has fit my needs for 30-ish years, and I still don't have any plans to get rid of it. I don't want the hassle of umpteen different streaming services, and doo-dads, gadgets, sticks, devices, boxes, plugs, remote controls, etc., just to watch what I want!
With my current setup, every room with a TV--and the patio--can access DirecTV and both DVRs. One remote is all that's needed! No fiddling with logging on here, switching cables there, figuring out how to watch the local news or the Lakers games, it's just all in one place. I've had Amazon Prime Video forever and have only used it MAYBE two times. (I only have it because it got added to Prime's features.)

Hi MoodyBlues how are you? Me too, i am a lifelong DirecTV fan. i am afraid to drop it for streaming.
Rico!! I'd heard rumors (via PM) that you were back, and I'm so glad to see you! How the hell have you been?!
As for DirecTV, yep, we're on the same page. If there was a streaming service with near-100% reliability, PLUS live local channels, PLUS live local sports, PLUS all the cable channels I routinely watch, PLUS a whole-home DVR, I MIGHT consider it. Until then, NO!!

Hey there! I am so glad to be back too. Doing great. glad you are too.
I am getting sales pitches right now from my internet service wanting me to switch from DirecTV satellite to stream. but i don't want to risk losing channels or service when the internet goes out. Then again my satellite goes out every time a cloud floats by. I too don't want to risk losing live channels if i use the either streaming products
This place hasn't been the same without you.
When I lived in Tornado Alley (Dallas), my DirecTV would go out due to 'rain fade' every time there was a bad storm/tornado coming through. But since moving back home to SoCal, it's never gone out--and that's 15 years and counting!

Youre right! Dallas is in Tornado Valley! we lived in Denton back in the 2000s and no basements no storm shelters.When as needed weather reports the most satellite went out. Thats another reason i am leery to go 100%stream. no live reportsThis place hasn't been the same without you.

Denton! I remember Denton. That's a little north of Carrollton where I owned a house. And the tornado sirens!! I remember them scaring the shit out of my poor mom! She'd come to visit, and all of a sudden there's this horrible screeching alarm going off outside. Having never lived in the south, she had no idea what that was. Meanwhile, after reassuring her about what it was, I went outside and talked to one of my neighbors. We were both like "here we go again...
"
