I've been looking into it some, and I'm going to work on it today, but I'm not very good with this stuff so we'll see how it goes. Basically, PS Vue is available for lots of different platforms, including PC's with a Firefox browser (like mine). I thought you had to have a PlayStation console to use it, but if what I'm reading is correct, you don't. So, you sign up for PSVue core package and add the sports package (which has LHN). You get a 5 day free trial. After the game, unsubscribe from the service. The only concern that I have is how easy it will be to unsubscribe. I'll need to do it immediately after the game, cause I'll be gone for the next 10 days. I may opt to put it on my laptop, just in case (that's going with me). The unsubscribing is probably done via email, but it would be just my luck to end up paying ~$60 to watch the game. :D

@Cyclones_R_GR8 or some of you other computer-savvy folks, if you want to try it first, then walk me through it, I would be eternally grateful! :D
 
So the other night Wifeypoo and I are about to turn into the HyVee and this guy is jogging on the sidewalk, dressed in all black, including his stocking hat, crosses in front of us, and we almost hit him. Are people idiots??

You've got the gist of it. It's really easy to cancel. You don't have to call anyone.

I checked into my devices in case I stay home to watch the game. Neither of our smart TV's include the app but we have a Sony Blu-Ray that does have it.

Did he have a TV, computer, or bag of some sort he was carrying?

Every few years or so.


Yeah, I have an 18 and 15 year old. I also have an 11 year old and the timelines are a little hazy there.






Actually, the 11 year old, there is no denying he is mine when you see us together. Definitely from my side. Saw pictures of my oldest sister (the one who passed this summer) and he looks quite a bit like her from her wedding.

I should probably change my answer to "every decade or so".

I thought about cutting cable and switching to PSVue a while back. Prices have gone up about $15/month from when I first considered it.
I can also add PSVue to my Roku and sign up for a trial through that. Maybe I'll give that a shot.
 
Boxster any interest in a WBB for Sun? Depending on how work goes may or may not get to attend. Know I have one extra though. If Boxster doesn't claim it any body else want it speak up.

Slight chance I'll go but not enough to claim a ticket. If I go I'll a buy some tickets and take an old college buddy and his wife to the game.
 
Ah yes single-ists.

Hostess - "Reservation for 1?"
Me -"Yep"
Hostess - "no one else is coming?"
Me -"nope just me"
Hostess - "um, ok. You sure?"

That happens another time and the couple behind me pipes up and is like "yea he's alone, just give him a table for Christ's sake".

To be fair, it seemed like she was fairly new to the job and English was her second language. I am sitting at the bar now
I hope you high-fived that couple for that.

Think I read this post at about 3am or whenever I was up. You then made it into a dream. But you were skinny, nerdy ginger. I'm fairly certain you don't have red hair. Don't remember much else but my dreams tend to bounce all over now. Another part was my mom bought a new house but didn't like the bedroom because it had skin cells from the old man who died there????? Then she was making hamburgers for dinner and I was like no, we're having pork chops this weekend.

Congrats, @CloneinWDSM you’re back to being her dream man again.

I dood it! It's on my laptop, which can be hooked to run through the TV. We don't have a smart tv at this point...that will probably be our next purchase. The only problem is not having NBC; other than that it's much cheaper than Mediacom now. If the DVR function works well, we may give some thought to switching.
Our son has had PSvue for a while, but he has a play station hooked to a smart TV. We just assumed that you had to have the PS console.
