The whole idea of subscription is obsolete to me. I can't think of anything that I'm missing out on because I don't have a "subscription". |

I have Sling ($25 per month), and Im quite happy it bridges the gap between paying $100s for cable or going cord free with no access to favorite cable tv channels. |

The Chromecast sits in the side of the TV but I don't have to touch it or anything, so it's really only 2 devices. TV and PC. I don't know what a Roku is or does. Does it require a subscription? |

True, but I wouldn't watch those channels live anyway. If they've shown a program I want to see -which doesn't really happen but anyway- I'll download it from the Internet after they've shown it. |

I have to walk all the way to the computer I use the remote to activate the chromecast and while it is casting, I can put it on hold with the remote. It lasts a decent amount of time, maybe 5 minutes, then turns off altogether. |

If it has a usb port on the back, you can plug in a chromecast. Even though I had to buy an up to date TV to drop cable and go streaming, I think I saw my money back in 2 1/2 months of not paying those cable robbers |

They had the gall to call me on my phone the other day looking for donations! I told her she was invading my privacy and where did she obtain the number, quick shift, apology and it won't happen again, it bloody well better not! Back when I did support them years ago, when they were true Progressive Cons prior to the Reform Party taking them over, there were no cell phones, so this number could not have been listed with them. |

If so, how much per month? Does it come with a DVR? I think you could get them, so stations will actually charge you but I won't pay so I don't bother. I do pay less than $10 per month for Netflix and $4.99 to be a prime member of CBC which then gives you all their programmes, minus the ads. I have no more use for my DVR because you can watch all those things anytime you want so not worth the bother. One advantage I like is tonight there is a whole hour of Coronation St and I like to watch it later in the evening. So I will just zoom in on chromecast at the time that suits me and pick it up then, minus the ads. Here's a link that will likely answer your question better https://www.google.com/search?client...d&q=chromecast |

I worked there for some time and very few people were lefties, and even if they were, it was too busy for them to push a leftward agenda. I don't see commercial stations calling big companies to task for overcharging people, aka Bell overcharged a woman $3,000 but refused to repay her. She herself said, she eventually got it back because Go Public picked it up. Commercial stations want nothing to do with programmes like that! |

No, it's very similar to Chromecast but my friend who has it finds it has limitations (especially where live newscasts are concerned) that chromecast does not have. |

Just the one I wanted to mention. I have 2 main PBS channels. One based in Norfolk and one in North Carolina. Each of their main channels often show the same things at the same time. These are the 2 channels that have begathons often. Each of them also has 3 alt channels and all 6 of those are completely different programming. One channel is mostly cooking shows so I probably get them all. Every evening: Kevin Belton Lydia's italian cooking America's Test Kitchen Cook's Country which is the same deal as ATK The new show by Bow-tie man which is boring to me. So many more cooking shows on that one channel. I check them out occasionally. It's only the Food Network that has all the competition shows but I do like the "Beat Bobby Flay" shows. He's such an arrogant show-off but he is personable and good chef. It's fun to watch. You get ideas well from that one. First part is take one single food item and make it the star of your dish. Interesting to see how each do that. Then the winner of that tells Bobby their signature dish and both make that. Again, interesting to see how both handle it. Oh well. |

Of the 8 channels, one of them seems to specialize in cooking shows. The other's rarely have one. Another one specializes in travel shows. |

He was emperor of the house and when he was home we had to watch his choices (only one tv then). To this day, it's about the most disturbing thing I ever see on tv. PBS naturally airs that along with their many crappy other shows. |

I got the impression he was using those bags toward the end of his cooking career. I followed his career fer yrs and I knew he wasn't really of Cajun descent, but had been around Cajuns, a lot. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Wilson_(chef) Heck, I'm not correct on everything. I've been cooking off this site fer yrs and thought Chuck was a true chef. https://www.gumbopages.com/ Turns out I was wrong, but I still like the recipes. This, even after meeting Paul Prudhomme, in person, and buying his 1st book. I didn't particularly like Paul's cooking style (too many spices), but I loved his Alligator Étouffée (as made by K-Paul's resto). nb |

I never thought about it, my remote for the tv does everything I need with chromecast so perhaps that's why I didn't notice. Perhaps it varies with tv's - mine is a Samsung. |

It plugs into the HDMI port on your tv, and allows you to stream from various channels or apps, like Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime, Hulu, etc. It is not a subscription service, just a device that lets you stream your subscription (or free) services, like Chromecast does. It just cuts out that laptop middleman. |
