So my cable TV's finally gone after having it all along for decades. I like just being able to flip through channels, save things on my DVR, & not have to keep track w/ what I've seen/not seen yet for every show I watch. With cable TV, it was so easy.
I have a few streaming services now, but never as my MAIN/ONLY way of watching TV before. I know it's not hard to navigate around. I just like the cable TV way better.
Anyone know if any cable TV's still around at all? I just recently had Frontier Communications, BTW.
Also, my streaming's just started to have a lag in the last couple of days whether it's Hulu, Paramount+, etc...the audio comes later than the action, which gets to be frustrating after a while. Anyone know how to fix it?

Are you joking? Cable is alive and well. I have mine with Cox.
I first started streaming in 2008 when I bought a Netflix streaming device made by a company that few had heard of called Roku, so I am very familiar with it. But I also still use cable TV from Spectrum.
Cable has many advantages over streaming. Ease of navigation. Easy to use DVRs. Ability to skip over commercials. All of your programs in one place. My Tivo DVR has a feature called Quick Time. The recorded program plays back 30% faster, but the normal sound pitch is preserved – great for watching motorsports and even football and basketball.
I also still rent discs from Netflix – I have been doing so since 1999.
Cable TV is of course still around. We cut cable but for the last few years really only watched it for local news and the occasional show that we can now stream from the network's website or one of our streaming platforms. We are however going to get a digital antenna for local news because although tubi gets some of the local news it doesn't do the national morning shows and the such.
