We use an HD antennae for live sports that are going to be shown on ABC/NBC/CBS/Fox, but otherwise I haven't really had much of an issue finding decent streams for sports like college basketball. Also MLB.tv is really affordable.

Connects to the main cable connection on the back of your TV and you get all of the basic channels for free in pretty great quality. They're only about $30, too.

Is there any point to it if you already have basic cable? What channels is hockey even on?

Nah it's only really useful if you decide to discontinue your cable package. We combine with with Apple TV and save a ton of money per month versus what we'd otherwise spend on cable.

And the Hawks are on Comcast Sports or WGN. There's really not any other networks. For the playstation vue, the stations they carry depends on where you are. You can put in his zip code on their website and see what the options are.

Last time I tried an HD antenna was two or three years ago. Figured we should be able to get a good, strong signal living in Brooklyn, but our TV is not near a window and the signal does not permeate well through our building. I'd love to cut the cord someday. I could swear one of the streaming providers offers local channels (Sling, Hulu or YouTube maybe?).

I think Sling does too, I was considering them first.

I use YouTubeTV in the Chicago suburbs and I get all local channels (except WGN, but...that's no loss for me).
I hope I never have to go back to cable. I love it.

I don't have much confidence in that being any good without Steve Carell on board. Spader had his moments, but for the most part the show was never the same after Michael left. people underestimate d'angelo vickers.

I rewatch them all the time. Also Robert California was fantastic, but Nellie was horrendous. So they are 2/3 in creating replacement bosses. The Office is probably my favorite show of all time but I really don't want it to come back

Robert California was fine, but Andy was a bad character during those seasons and canceled him out.

For real I wish they'd just brought back Idris Elba instead.

I think that was supposed to be her grand introduction to American audiences, too. Bolsters my argument that the writers had no idea what they were doing after Carell left.

I got stalled in the middle of the last season but started up with it again this fall so it's pretty fresh. So good.

new Peaky Blinders on netflix? phew, xmas saved. I've been watching the BBC feed on this. It's been really good. Only 6 episodes, and I don't think it's a spoiler to say that Adrian Brody just chews up every fucking scene that he's in (and he's on a lot). Enjoy.

So as a bday gift a coworker of mine gave me access to his Plex account and now I can stream 1000+ movies and a shit ton of TV seasons for free. Catching up on Fargo season 3 finally.
If you haven't checked out Fargo yet, you need to. It's quirky, hilarious, and brutal. Pays excellent homage to the film as well as the Coens style.
