šŸ«” YouTubeTV/Fubo Update

Posted December 11, 2023

After giving Fubo the old college try the last few weeks, I decided to “pause” that account for six months. The quality of the interfaces, overall performance of the app and the lack of PBS, TNT and TBS aren’t enough to offset the lack of Bally on YouTubeTV, IMO.

šŸ«” A Lazy Saturday

Posted December 9, 2023

First time in ages I didn’t have anything scheduled on a Saturday (and the house to myself). Slept in, did chores around the house, watched some TV and picked up a 3 Finger combo from Cane’s. The snow is now falling and the latest puzzle is calling me over to the dining room table…

The last of the four Wes Anderson adaptations of Roald Dahl short stories for Netflix, Poison was my least favorite (but still glad I watched them all)

Great writing by Dahl, but this story was much more disturbing than the rats

Not sure I liked all of the storylines this season, but these actors are all just so good. Elon Musk wishes he was Jon Hamm…

šŸ«” YouTubeTV vs. Fubo

Posted November 26, 2023

Going to try out Fubo for a few days and see if we want to switch from YouTubeTV. Access to Bally is the big one (Wild, Timberwolves, Twins), but 4K is included in Fubo Elite too. Both have DVR and Apple device support, so need to review overall cost and quality of apps…

Lovin’ You by Minnie Riperton

“Riperton’s vocals span from Cā™Æ4 to Fā™Æ6 (277ā€“1480 Hz)” – no wonder Richard Stamos couldn’t hit that note

Just finished season 5 of What We Do in the Shadows (so fun!) and watched the first episode of Disenchantment S5 (out today – love that Matt Berry voices the pig).
