    I cut the cord with Sling TV and I almost switched to YouTube TV — here's why I didn't

    If you are in the correct market - geographically- OTA is free and since im in the NY area, its what I use. I have a cheapo DVR for recording but I rarely use it since HULU rebroadcasts most of what I want to see after 24 hrs or so. The only limitation that I have come up against is that if I...

    8K TVs: What the heck is going on?

    Totally agree with you as we have all been sensitized to the content vs technology debate since HighDef tv sets. Its a seen before situation. The reason that many folks buy a Mercedes S class or a BMW 7 series car, isnt just because its the top of the line. Its also because there are always...

    News Roku is better than Fire TV — here's why

    If your parents also use OTA, then you would go back to Firetv because its implementation of antenna viewing is much better than ROKU. Remember flashback on VCR's? The little button that allowed you to go back to a previous channel by pressing that button. Not found on ROKU. The next best thing...

    News I’m cutting the cord — here's what I think of YouTube TV

    Have you tried the new voice remote. I have and unless you connect through optical it works fine and in any orientation. 20 bucks at most places. Maybe worth the try since Im also sensitive to mute buttons that dont want to work. BTW, realize that the older roku remotes are line of sight. Yep...

    News I’m cutting the cord — here's what I think of YouTube TV

    News I’m cutting the cord — here's what I think of YouTube TV

    I feel thats its time every story about "cutting the cord" starts with a disclaimer / explanation what it means. Your story basically says in order to save on my cable bill I am going to spend the "same amount" with an online subscriber. So what money is being saved? Its one thing to drop cable...

    Review LG SN8YG soundbar review

    Just read your review (April 24 2021) and am seriously confused. I see one for a discount but its listed as a 3.1.2. Dont understand how a manufacturer could design a soundbar with a center channel but make it not surround capable. I think that rear channels are available to make it a 5.1.2...

    News Why Roku beats every other streaming device

    Roku, more than others, started the streaming box tech effect. Since they got in sooner its no suprise that they have a knack on how to get the best out of the tech. What "is" suprising is to find out that Roku isnt considered as one of the best. Im kinda slow to the streaming wars but have...

    Review Cyberpunk 2077 review: Where do I start?

    You should edit your title to reflect that ur review is based on a Xbox one. PC reviews - online - are from enthusiastic to buggy but very few are sad that they own the game. Platform matters for this game even though it shouldnt.

    News Nvidia GeForce RTX 3000 will crush the PS5 and Xbox Series X in 4K gaming

    I was also suprised that a toms editor was making the claim that it should be surprising that a pc's graphic card was going to out perform a consoles graphics. Like the realization that every consoles graphics are based on the architecture of a previous generations pc graphics card. Sometimes...
