I'm switching to Spectrum this week. But not this particular service, just their regular cable (I have and love uVerse but have to switch due to circumstances beyond my control).

It looks like Choice is ala carte? You can pick any 10 channels for $24.99? Sounds like a decent deal if you can truly pick the channels you want.


Yeah after looking into it some more you get 5 local channels (NBC, CBS, FOX, etc..) and then you can pick 10 cable channels (FSN, ESPN, TNT, etc..). They do have a BS $8/month surcharge for the local channels but still worth it for that price. No DVR or installation costs, just need to get a Roku stick for my older plasma TV.

You should check out Into the Badlands.


Hey DB, been there ,done that.. its been out for like 5-6 years, I watch everything when it first air usually... feels like we have every channel known to man.....
It was good, but Warrior is much darker. Like I said Gangs of NY meets Deadwood meets Kung Fu... Cast could be better, but great show...Something about ItBL was weak, though I like the Baron, too much kids with super powers, maybe I'm too old, but kinda sick of Last Air Bender and Super Hero stuff, it also had like a Tomb Raider vibe to me...

I did enjoy The Boyz though, much better than Umbrella Co IMO....

Something for you off the beaten path DB, watch Beat on Amazon Prime, if you liked The Killing and EDM, its a good quick watch...

I'm looking at this now and do not see FSWI on the list of channels nor the Big10 network.

Ridiculous.

FSWI is FS1 correct? It's on the list, just checked again (BTN is not). I'm going to sign up for the weekly trial tonight after I fight with my wife which 10 cable channels to choose. Wish me luck.

No FS1 is a national sports channel like ESPN.

FSWI is not the same as FS1. FSWI is the regional network for Bucks/Brewers. FS1 is a Fox national sports channel.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

So at this point what streaming services actually do offer FS Wisconsin? Am I basically forced to buy cable now just to watch Bucks games that aren't on ABC, ESPN, or TNT?

I'm interested to see how the Theater business changes in the future. I don't think they'll go away but it'll change.

Nolan has this weird fetish with time travel. He’s in moderate danger of becoming a M Night Shamylan parody of himself. I thought Tenet was one of his weakest films.

Do you have to have seen Citizen Kane before Mank? That's a film I tried to watch 20 years ago and never gave it another shot.

How to with John Wilson - I'm two episodes in and can confidentially say this is the greatest thing I've seen in 2020.
