    The Bill Simmons Thread

    Simmons turned into Shaughnessy so slowly, I don’t think anyone noticed.

    The Bill Simmons Thread

    just out of curiosity, how would you define Nikola Jokic? He constantly initiates the offense. Last night against the Pistons, he scored 4 points and had 16 assists. Is he a point guard? Just askin.

    Cutting The Cord on Cable/Satellite TV Service?

    To add to the previous posters - It is incredibly easy to cancel YTTV. You never have to fight with cable providers again or worry about 2 year commitment or whatever. Try it for 2 weeks, you don't like it, it's done. Also, the price is the price. You don't have to play games with the...

    Cutting The Cord on Cable/Satellite TV Service?

    This is something I have noticed while dealing with my mother's TV's. Whatever software is pre-installed on TV's generally sucks and doesn't get updated/debugged. So eventually you get frustrated and stop using it. With my mother's TVs, I finally convinced her to just use Roku's instead as...

    Let's say BB stays on until he retires. What does that mean for the franchise?

    I think this is a very keen observation. I think back to the last Brady year (2019) when through about 12 games the Patriots looked like they had the all-time best defense, fueled mainly by an ungodly turnover ratio (something like +25). This also helped cover up much of the deficiencies of...

    Cutting The Cord on Cable/Satellite TV Service?

    Can anybody interpret this for me? Does it mean that YTTV will stop working on my Roku or not? I can't really tell..... View online Dear Roku Customer, We are disappointed to share the news that Google has chosen to let the YouTube TV contract expire. While this news is...

    Cutting The Cord on Cable/Satellite TV Service?

    I’m on YTTV also and have missed NESN - although the radio is a event substitute. I’m thinking of breaking down and doing something similar (MLB) but is there any chance that I don’t need a VPN if I use Roku? I know that Roku’s don’t transmit location. Thanks in advance

    Cutting The Cord on Cable/Satellite TV Service?

    Can someone who is smarter than me run down the options for replacing YTTV? (I'm another on team Roku). I know there is Fubo for about the same $$ but worse interface/DVR. I'm also asking as I'm the default "expert" my 75yo mother runs to for all this stuff and who has to change everything...

    HomeBrew, Your problem was using the wrong device to stream Fubo. You need to use a device that does not allow the program to geolocate - it's among the many reasons why I love my Roku streaming device. If you allow Fubo to know where you are - by using a computer or something - it will...

    The Bill Simmons Thread

    So, I love listening to Simmons’ podcasts for the most part. His latest on Ryan Russillo’s podcast is great. But then I started listening to Bill’s own podcast with Mallory Rubin, and his takes on Baseball are the worst and most archaic that I have ever heard. It’s not that he’s loud and...

    Cutting The Cord on Cable/Satellite TV Service?

    A lot depends on the device. I have found that - as mentioned upthread - it depends on whether location tracking is enabled on your device. For computers, phones, ipads - YouTubeTV will not work unless you have the location tracking turned on. It's part of the program. But Roku does not have...
