1) Cancelled Direct TV Price had gone to $121/mo
2) Got Firestick for $30. Plugs into hdmi slot on 8 year old non internet TV.
3) Son-in-law shares Sling for free. With this we get Netflix streaming free. We don't use the movie streaming much. No longer use Sling. We get the DVD's in mail, for $10/mo Selection is MUCH better.
4)Got Youtube for $65/mo with two week free trial. (Thanks for the forum help.
5)Got ESPN addon for $6/mo (Was free on Direct TV) Will probably cancel.
6) Considered Hallmark movies addon for $6/mo. (Was free on Direct TV, wife likes). Decide against it. Too much TV.....
Overall, It has taken time for this senior to grasp it. The (ESPN) add ons are confusing to me, as they are on a completely different group from Youtube. Some of the sports screens are also confusing in that I don't know if I am watching something live or replay. The home screen has a lotta info that I don't want to look at and is confusing. I am STILL very much in a learning mode. Quality/Content/features/all local channels is outstanding
One thing I really like is being able to watch things on the phone in addition to TV, especially where there are the two of us, in the same room.
One more thing I will add,,,,Grandpa (guess who) got hearing aids with blue tooth,
that adds some very interesting pros and cons! (Whew.)
