Useless Thread MDCCCXXXVII - Sarah Matthews Appreciation Thread (WARNING: NO POLITICS)

I can hook up an antenna to my TV, but I can't keep it hidden behind the TV otherwise I pick up just about no channels.

Let it out then

Netflix got worse because they shit themselves when there was competition and went for quantity over quality with their originals and exlusives. They now just pump out an endless amount of the same shite, especially on UK Netflix it's just constant adaptations of Harlan Coben books which are set in Britain for some reason even though he's an American writer.

Netflix was only popular before because it was the first one and it was an easy way to access a lot of people's favourite old shows, so brainless morons could just endlessly re-watch Friends and the US Office. While at the same time it was able to appeal by making its own flagship exclusive shows like Stranger Things, The Crown, Drive to Survive and The Witcher (which is the HBO model where they put all their efforts into making the odd really properly good thing every few years) but now Netflix waste time and money just regurgitating any old shit so they've lost their USP when Amazon were able to pick up a lot of all the older shows people want to re-watch as well as having their own original content as well as the non-TV related perks you get with Amazon Prime.

I would say Amazon, HBO, and Hulu are just about the only services that actually compete with Netflix.

But yeah, Netflix bungled their transition from being the only streaming platform to producing their own content. There have been too many popular shows that they outright dropped without ever providing a satisfying conclusion.

My bigger problem with Netflix is that there's too much stuff on there, to the point that I see something interesting yet I pass it up to continue looking.

I don't want to have some hideous antenna sticking out from behind my TV.

Yes, there are ways to put the antenna somewhere and run a wire, but f*** that shit, I'm lazy and it would take an excessive amount of effort to make it look not shitty.

Lirl you can't beautify an antenna setup

Cars just driving off to the side for re wheeling and pit stops

Doesn't make sense

Yeah, I would rather go without an antenna than either having an ugly antenna setup or going through all the work to run a wire through the walls.

With that amount of effort, I might as well just run an ethernet cable down to my living room so I can use the Steam Link at max speed.

Also I have Youtube TV, so an antenna would be redundant except for the gimmicky channels like the channel that plays Night Court and other sitcoms only old people care about

Not only does that look terrible, but even if I do that, I know I won't get all the channels clearly.

You won't. The antenna is too inconsistent

The basement has that long ass cable sticking out of the TV and that's the only way you can pick anything up

Lirl, so what's the point then

 

[John Price]

The upper antenna is actually more subtle but is inconsistent. It picks up cbs now and if you move it forward it picks up fox and NBC. Basically there is no position to pick up all 4 channels which is dumb.

Pretty sure I have a yellow jacket nest in the front yard. Got stung again last night while mowing.

Sprayed a bunch of insecticide in the area, maybe I should go out and check

It's also because I live way out in the suburbs. You get them all closer to the city.
