I'm so happy! I'm getting TV again!!! I've been without for four loooooooooooong years. A casual friend recommended cutting the cable and watching online. It's been very inconvenient (watching the six o'clock news at 9:00pm for example, running a cable across the floor, a tripping hazard, constantly fighting with my devices to find my programs, etc.).
I've also mostly given up watching on my flat-screen TV since my tablet died and i've been using the laptop i was using to run TV off as my main computer here on my table. I've been limping along watching TV on my phone which is hard on my hands, arms, eyes, shoulders and neck and really isn't a big enough screen. Meanwhile my nice big SONY flat-screen TV has been largely a clock except for the occasional DVD movie.
I was feeling down and sitting in the foodcourt at the mall and i spied our mall's branch of the vendor who sold me my phone a month ago. I've had phone service with them for several years. So i thought: why not inquire, i've been dying of boredom, unable to develop a new hobby and the Christmas holidays are looming, a very difficult time for me with no family to celebrate with.
So i went down and asked and there is a new "casting" device that plugs into a regular flat-screen TV and turns it into a smart TV and you can "stream" all sorts of channels from your phone! I can watch the six o'clock news at 6:00pm! The new Internet and TV service costs about what i am paying just for my current Internet-only service. Aces! Glad to get the use out of my phone, it cost a fortune.
So excited! My installation guy comes on the 19th so just nine more days until i have TV TV TV TV TV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The future looks so much brighter, i'll have TV to comfort me during the dreadful holidays ahead!
Hugs to all!
