Today’s question of the day comes to us from George C…
My brother-in-law just moved from the West Coast back to Texas. In doing so, of course he dropped his triple play Internet/TV/Cable. He also sold/gave away his old CRT televisions. They watched Netflix via an old computer (they didn’t know about Roku type of devices). He and his family (wife, two younger kids) just bought a new house and he is very open to new configurations. He is technically capable of installing software, routers, etc…. But would not delve into (for example) Myth TV, pyTivo, etc…
He’ll probably need two TVs, one for the living room and one for the master bedroom. OTA is a possibility, as there is a clear shot to the towers. The wife really wants a land-line “in case of emergency”. He thinks that they can stay with cell phones (I suggested Ooma). The house alarm system come with an independent wireless system. He doesn’t mind paying a fair price for a device, but really, really wants to avoid recurring monthly fees.
