As much as I thought I knew about TV/internet.......I feel like a pre-kindergartner in comparison to some of you here. Makes me laugh, as my very clever hubby, who knew & could do everything about construction, carpentry, plumbing, electric, mechanical, etc., did not know how to turn a computer on or off, baffled him. He would not go near anything related to computer, printer, etc. I know he was very happy that I was handy in that area, so if he were still alive, he would be surprised as all get out, that streaming has me puzzled, inept. Those who have no problem, & are used to it use terminology foreign to those who do, & are surprised when we do not understand what they mean.
Sort of like my hubby when I insisted we get satellite, & we did, a big huge one (so many trees) & then he could not understand when it no longer got the stations we liked because they began to scramble the stations, so you had to pay to see them. Lost my wonderful Canada stations, my half dozen PBS stations from all over the U.S. and finally, the network stations from L.A. & N.Y. (wonderful while it lasted). Instead, I paid to rent satellite dishes from Direct TV, which they would not even retrieve when I switched to DISH. But they sure wanted their modem & remote, which I had to pay to return.
And now, after all the $$$$ invested in satellite dishes, programming, etc. they have gone to something new, costly, & that other equipment is useless, no longer viable. Now we have to buy new equipment, pay extra to see anything on it. I watch a lot of NBC, but they are going to lose me. I won't be able to get Days, just may try out General Hospital which was on opposite it. Heck, they won't even tell those who are willing to jump over to Peacock, what time Days will be on. Boo, Hiss.
