Comment on Are Expensive TVs Actually Better? An Analysis of TV Prices and Review Scores
AA5B@lemmy.world 5 days agoFor sure, maybe one of the reasons we almost never use the big screen is I haven’t hooked up broadcast TV yet, but one of the reasons I haven’t bothered is live sports is increasingly paywalled. It was all too easy to say I’m not that interested in watching the Patriots every Sunday, when there are more barriers to watching or enjoying (and the Bellicheck/Brady era is over: I’m not sure I can name a single player anymore)

Yeah we gave up and paid for live sports streaming once it came in 4k HDR for sports. It isn’t cheap but no real alternative that doesn’t have risk and unreliability associated around it. Anything that isn’t live there are plenty of reliable, high quality ways to obtain things for free, but live, I need it to work and not look like a potato on a large screen if I have people round. I did try that method for a few years, its ok on a phone or laptop with just me as I will put up with the problems but absolutely not on a big screen.
