The "lengths" you refer to involves buying an HDMI stick, hopping on Wi-Fi and signing up for a service or just using an over-the-air antenna. Hardly a lot of work. And by the way, Wikipedia is a pretty good source of info.
Yes. I’m well aware. And most offer no recording ability, or the ability to watch network channels. An HDMI stick is fine for some, not so good for others. Good luck, and I hope you save a good amount of money. As far as “like to overpay” the old adage you get what you pay for comes to mind. I enjoy the convenience, so I don’t appreciate your snarky remark.
