[Howard M. Cohen]

Living proof of the age-old adage: “Never install dot-oh…” Eventually the internet will be the universal content conveyance. How frightening is THAT? 😊

When I think of cord cutting I think of nothing paid. I have prime because I get free shipping, that is all.  I tried cbs all access for awhile to get football but they really hasn’t ironed out the kinks in that service.

Look again. My DirecTV via AT&T has DVR. Don’t know what channels you are missing. We pay extra for Netflix of course, and we added an AppleTV so we can subscribe to Titans .(live-action successor to cartoon Teen Titans) on Warner because my daughter writes episodes for it (!). She is good at action shows.)

When I last looked at DirecTV it didn’t have DVR capability and was missing several key channels. YouTube TV is great, but doesn’t run on a firestick and so does not integrate with my smarthome strategy. Hulu with Live TV is as good as YouTube TV and DOES run on firestick.
