Tv

I used to complain about cable TV. Mostly because it was obscenely expensive to get the channels that I might want to watch from my local cable monopoly. But it mostly worked and didn’t change much. At this point, I just want that simplicity to come back. There are never ending problems and channel churn with the Internet based TV providers. Last year, I switched from YouTubeTV to fuboTV because that latter had both MASN for Orioles games and Monumental sports for Capitals games.

Once again, YouTubeTV is in a battle. This time, they have a disagreement with Disney over the fees for carrying their channels. The channels include stuff I don’t watch (Disney Channel, ABC News, Freeform, etc.) as well stuff I do (the ESPN family of channels). One of the reasons I cut the cord was to pay (at least a little) less and deal with less of the nonsense hassles you have to with cable (call them once a year and threaten to cancel to keep your payment the same).
