    I'm sure this doesn't apply to all the countries, but for me, the moment that killed every streaming platform for me (and I had ALL that are available in my country, Prime, Netflix, HBO, etc...) was when I searched a rather known movie and couldn't find on ANY platform.
    Said fuck it, fired up my old laptop, installed Plex, sailed the 7 seas and never looked back.

      Netflix before COVID was a fantastic service, but unfortunately the 7 seven seas today give to the user a much better service than any streaming service. Stremio with the terrentio plug-in and you have any movie or serie you can think of, with the best quality possible, the subtitles of any language and this on demand and for free on any android, google tv, window or Linux device. You can't ask for more.

      @@comradestannis I went to our local public library, but after a time they became too limited in what they have on offer as a lot of people exploited the fact that you pay a fixed penalty for losing a book you rent out, which was substantially less that what that book costs second hand on the market, so anything really interesting and more rare would end up "lost" in a quite short time. I mostly read all they had available that interested me in 4-5 years, so I stopped renewing my card, and from what I heard from my bandmate that still uses it, things haven't improved much, other than the fact that less young people use the library in general.

    I will say this I bought a 20 dollar antenna off of Amazon its flat and you can plug it into the wall and it does help a lot by pulling in more channels. The house I live in with a regular antenna channels don't come in very good. Some antennas need a little power to give it that boost to pull in those signals.

      Me too. I found out that i mostly stuck with the same tv shows that I watch often, but the new streaming shows annoyed me quality wise. So i bought those shows as box sets and cancelled all streaming services. Every once in a while i buy dvds if they are sold for a few bucks in supermarkets and if I really like a movie i might buy it on blu ray if it's discounted.
      I rather invest the money in used books, they can't remotely stop me from reading those or revoke the license like they can do with digital media, also they can't edit text or pictures and so on.
      Digital media is more or less dead to me, it was nice to have in the early days, but it has become a nightmare. Overly expensive, the good stuff is either cancelled, edited or simply not to find in whatever catalogue.

    Great video. I cut the cable years ago and because I live in a big metro area, quickly found there was way more free programming available than I'd ever want to sit down and watch as opposed to going out and doing something. A few notes on that:
    It's true that there's no such thing as a "digital antenna" for TV, that's a marketing slogan. What changed was brodcast towers sending signals in a digital format, replacing the old analog one. What therefore became required for older TVs--and I still have one--was a digital-to-analog converter box for TVs that didn't have digital receivers in them.
    I'm not sure where Spencer lives, but if he got largely one set of signals in his old location and a different bunch of stations after moving, chances are he could get all channels from both locations from a larger, more suitable antenna. My "Antennas Direct" antenna I've had for years currenty costs $87 USD on Amazon, which ain't nothing, but is a steal over time. It's a medium-sized indoor/outdoor antenna, larger than Spencer's but not one of those giant rooftop deals. And yes, a suitable antenna will receive both UHF and VHF broadcasts. The former--with shorter waves--is far more common, but some locations like mine still have a VHF station or two.
    Last but not least, the go-to resource for all things related to TV antennas is Antenna Man's CZcams channel. (Oh, and I find Amazong's Freevee, their free streaming service, has some good content and the commercials aren't too bad at all).

    It's inspiring to watch your videos and see you talk about simpler way of living with technology. I often feel like the odd man out (which is a good thing imo) when everyone at work is talking about a new show that came out on netflix or amazon, and I just couldn't care less. I went the antenna on the tv/buy my own dvds route, and I'm much happier watching shows/movies that way. Seeing other people like you enjoying music on their ipod and watching movies the old fashion way is just nice to know other people have the same way of thinking. I do appreciate the videos, they help to know that I have someone to relate to in the regard and inspire me to find new ways of cutting down on technology and live more simply.

    "Digital Antenna" means an antenna specifically cut to the new frequencies that digital TV are on. Old TV used to be at the edge of HF and VHF frequencies. Now they are UHF. You may have some reception but you lose a lot of gain and reception over distance. Get an antenna specifically designed for the frequencies you are using.

    Make a simple OTA (Over The Air) antenna:
    Cut the top and bottom off a tin coffee can with a can opener.
    Cut up the side of the coffee can with tin snips to separate it.
    Purchase : 1) a 75 to 300 Ohm Balun Converter for Antenna and Coax Cable on TV Receiver; 2) a length of coaxial cable with connectors on each end to attach one end to the Balun converter and the other to your TV’s antenna input. (I suggest at least a 6 ft length. 3) Two tiny nuts and bolts to attach the Balun converter to the middle of the coffee can, one leg on each side of the cut you made wth tin snips. 4) Connect the coaxial cable to the Balun converter and to your antenna input on the TV. 5) Set your can antenna in a nearby location. 6) Turn on your TV. Select antenna. Run the channel discovery app to see how many channels you get. My son in Gatineau gets more than a dozen OTA channels.

    Was a Netflix member since the beginning of time, but canceled my membership 6 months age because of cost and the fact that their Netflix Original Series (offerings)started to decline. Yeah, I still have Disney, Paramount and Amazon, but being honest, I can’t stand watching video content if it’s saturated with Ads.

    It also sucks alot that many of the streaming services are not available in Canada here.
    It annoyed me, because i finally found 2 which looked good and were free, but were not available to get because of my location.
    And vpns only work sometimes. Long gone are the days where you just download and use it, and it works with little work.

      It's definitely annoying when we're not able to access stuff like that. However Pluto, Tubi, & Plex all work and have tons of shows to watch. I can't believe there were like 10 places playing American Pickers for free and I paid for StackedTV for like 6 months a few years back lol.

    I got parent that inherited a home with a tower antenna.
    I get mad they won't paint it. You should paint that every 10 years for it to last.
    The odd thing, antenna works better than it did make when they were popular. Digital signals really helped them.
    That said even the main channels like CBS ABC NBC prob won't carry big games of sports in 5, 10 years.
    I would not be surprised if sports rights are sold. Yet like commercial building contracts for sports viewing is decades long.
    That said. Who knows. Antenna has oddly always gotten better with time.
    The reason I focus on live with Antenna is because Antenna can't start and stop like new technology. It just goes when the show is aired.
    Some channels will play contine shows as well. People love that with things like Hallmark because it just create a theme in the home even when you are not watching much.
    I personally feel sick when people stream 4k WIFI. So I prefer watching digital content non WIFI.
    Some show have fan following. Since it airs at same time it is fun to find that group and like or comment as you watch it.

    Thankfully, my local library has a really good selection of DVDs. If they don't have something, a nearby library might. I couldn't have watched Dead Poets Society without my local library. (I highly recommend that movie to anyone who hasn't seen it, btw.) Now to talk them into adding Kanopy...

    Nothing on Netflix interests me, they don’t have older movies or documentaries (only new ones). Can search a movie and no service has it, even worse because I’m not in America so I’m limited to what is available where I live. I prefer the library, they have more things I like.

    The only thing about CZcams ads are the quality and the intrusiveness of the ads. Half the YT ads are for scammy type crap and are of questionable origin and depending on the creator they come up quite often. Tubi is much better in the ads department and they only show you just enough to keep their platform profitable.

    • @spencers-adventures
      @spencers-adventures  Před měsícem +1

      Agreed Tubi has a good balance of ads to not taint to content. CZcams especially bothers me when the ads are completely left field. Like a random minimalist CZcamsr I was watching started doing a vape ad and it threw me lol

  • @sewtritionistrdn1956

    Be forewarned that Tubi and Pluto(and Plex) don't show the current shows. You'll get the very old shows of like Star Trek with Dr. Spok, Old Game Shows like Family Feud with Richard Dawson, nothing is of the current seasons. All old stuff - which sometimes is ok. And, some movies will be repeated over and over, nothing, nothing current.

    I absolutely love Tubi. I watched
    Peeping Tom
    The night of the hunter
    The children's hour
    Orgasmo
    The babysitter
    Last house on the left
    When a stranger calls
    Sleepaway camp
    Black Christmas
    I spit on your grave
    The graduate
    The strangler
    Carnival of souls
    Persona
    They're all old movies but for someone like me who's into pre Hayes code media and the Hollywood Renaissance.
    There's also good shows on there too. I used to watch Jem and the holograms on the Hub Network back when I was in middle school we had premium channels so not many got to experience the gem of a show (no pun intended) and I re-watched a few episodes and fell in love with the show all over again. It's a campy 80s cartoon about a girl band running a foster home for girls and they're being terrorized by their Late father's business partner and a band called the Misfits.
    Strange concept but somehow it works 🤧

    I've never owned a flat-panel TV, I can't justify getting one as there has been nothing worth watching on Australian free-to-air television since the late 1990s. "Reality TV" killed it for me, with inane shitheads running around a house all day doing fuck all, passing off as riveting entertainment. I won't pay to watch TV via streaming services.
