Moving our son from Ames to DSM on Saturday and a Grandview game to go to. I doubt I will get to hear much or even see of the game. Will keep the phone handy to check on scores.
How/where the f@#%k to watch ESPN+ ????

This thread was a good reminder that I should probably upgrade my Roku Stick down in my basement TV. I don't use that TV as much, but when I do, it is really slow. Should I invest in a newer Roku Stick or Roku express? The TV is a 37" 2008 LG - LCD tv so I might be better off just upgrading that.
I just get a hissing sound with this snowy picture when I try to turn on my TV. Any tips on how I can get ESPN+ working?
Seriously, turn that TV off immediately!!!!!!

Need to flip the switch on the Atari converter box from game to TV.
I love NHL, you should try it. It is actually my 3rd favorite pro sport. My rankings just for fun
1. NFL
2. NBA
3. NHL
4. MLB
I mean, yes you should replace a 13 year old TV. IMO you should ignore whatever apps/smart TV stuff that's bundled with the TV and buy a new Roku/Fire TV stick. Like it or not, planned obsolescence is a thing in consumer electronics. From my seat as an engineer I get why.
A roku was my answer on my tv installed it yesterday and signed up for ESPN plus
ESPN+ for an NHL fan is a flipping gift. We were paying for NHL Center Ice or whatever they call that package
Now for a few bucks a month we get a ton of hockey.

Nothing else.
I just need them to get more NBA coverage now. I have been tempted to purchase League Pass but will probably wait til the price drops later in the season. Mainly just want to get it to watch ISU guys, Kings games for Tyrese especially are rarely televised.
Its like $5/month and you get all their steaming content plus extra online content online. My god. Put 1 gallon less of gas in your car this month. Not to mention you can get it included in multiple package deals including Hulu+, Disney+, verizon etc.
I hope this is a troll job, because if you havent heard of all the stand alone streaming channels from all the networks that are not on any other services you have to be living under a rock.
I mean so many Networks have streaming only channels now including Discovery, ESPN, Disney, HBO, CBS, Apple, and many more. And none of these channels are available on DirecTV, DishNet, or cable, They are stand alone subs that cost about $5 +/-.
And most if not all are able to stream on most smart devices and tvs.

I think there is an app for that sweet Atari 2600 to stream it!I just get a hissing sound with this snowy picture when I try to turn on my TV. Any tips on how I can get ESPN+ working?
I'd buy more TV upgrades if it was easy to get rid of the old ones, can't just trash them, have to find an electronics recycler, been letting them build up in attic, running out of space. Guess I'll have to find one, hopefully somewhere in Iowa, so I don't have to burn to much carbon to get rid of my TVs.
Definitely a problem. I have a 36" Sharp LCD from 2007 I've lugged around since college sitting in a spare bedroom. Kudos for wanting to dispose of it responsibly.
I guess its is nice to have to complain about what channel the game is on vs it not being on any channel.
It was not that long ago we did not get to see ISU on ANY channel most games, outside of maybe OU and NU games. I remember growing up thinking how awesome it was when I got to actually see ISU on TV, which was a rare thing in my childhood.
Slowly we started seeing them on FSN and others many of times if you were lucky enough to have a satellite and had the option of getting the bonus Fox or ESPN channels or Bought the NCAA Football package for about $300 per season.
It really does amaze me sometimes how far we have come, yet how much we complain still when we don't put things in perspective.

I watch Peacock much more than I expected. HBO Max also. Ted Lasso got us into the Apple TV ecosystem and I just watched the first episode of Foundation last night. Fairly crazy how far special effects have come for TV
Discovery is rarely used
Fun fact. NHL is the only pro game I've been to. Company event so free food and booze make up for it
No worries, you can check the box score in the Register on Sun.!
Edit: Seriously, good luck with the move!
Why would I want to go to the trouble of reading, I prefer to rely on my town cryer. @&#$ you ESPN!
