I'm interested. Does the recording keep up even if you're using the computer as your primary workstation at the same time, or do you pretty much have to build a second computer and dedicate it to DVR duty?
Seriously, [ATSC broadcast is] great. I'm watching the game in full non-compressed HD
It's 19 Mbps: higher bandwidth than many cable TV providers but still compressed with MPEG-2 video and Dolby Digital audio. You'd have a lot fewer channels if it were actually "non-compressed".
why would you need all of them since it's double content.
They're not always "double content", as you claim, as many series are exclusive to one service. A recent article by Mark Hill used the following example:
I'm going to name eight television shows. They're all popular, critically acclaimed, or hotly anticipated, and I'd like you to guess what makes this group unique. [...]
Game Of Thrones, The Handmaid's Tale, BoJack Horseman, The Man In The High Castle, Twin Peaks (the revival), American Gods, Star Trek: Discovery, and My Brother, My Brother And Me.
[Answer:] each is exclusive to a different subscription service: HBO, Hulu, Netflix, Amazon, Showtime, Starz, CBS All Access, and Seeso, respectively. If you want to legally watch all of them, it will cost you 69 (nice) dollars a month.
The only reason to have live TV is to gossip about reality TV as if the "stars" are real and their life events matter.
That doesn't help people who live with a C-SPAN and MSNBC junkie, such as my roommate. Her favorite "soap opera" is the Trump administration. Or do you claim that U.S. politicians aren't real and the legislation they enact does not matter to U.S. residents?
If you need your pipe to be dependable, then it sounds like you're stuck a few decades back in tech time with streaming. You should come forward to the 21st century when enormous hard disks became affordable.
How do you (legally) fill such a hard drive with professionally produced video entertainment? Last I checked, Netflix was testing a pre-cache option in some regions but hadn't expanded pre-cache to its full library or to all regions where it offers service.
Another factor... my wireless is now down to $65 for 16gb with an 8gb hot spot. Plus ubiquitous free wifi at merchants in my area.
Then watch you spend most of that 8 GB per month keeping your PCs' Windows operating system up to date now that Microsoft plans to automatically download security updates even over metered connections.
I don't watch professional sports, which makes it much easier to ditch paid television service.
Most college sports here in the United States are on cable as well. Last I checked, the College Football Playoff was on ESPN, and the NCAA Final Four was on TBS in alternate years, with many games in the rounds of 64, 32, 16, and 8 also on Turner cable channels.
What fraction of end users are willing to spend hours learning how to reverse-engineer a website's video player just to be able to watch the video outside a web browser?
Right now, the federal government has not done it's job and determined if it is, in fact, a human right [...] so in the meantime, at least allow citizens to decide for themselves
On the one hand, the Ninth Amendment acknowledges the existence of unenumerated rights of the people. On the other hand, the Tenth Amendment acknowledges the existence of unenumerated powers of the several states. Would it not be "allow[ing] citizens to decide for themselves" by allowing them to vote in representatives to make this decision on their behalf?
a drivers license can be changed if you legally change sex. They chose 'birth certificate' on purpose - exactly because, unlike a drivers license, it cannot be changed.
And of course, most of them never think to add an exclusion for intersex people
For example, the bathroom bill in my home state of Indiana, if read literally, would have banned from both restrooms any person whose genital presentation at birth does not match his or her chromosomes, such as people with de la Chapelle syndrome where the SRY gene crosses over from the Y chromosome to the X chromosome. Fortunately, it died in committee before I had a chance to pass on my thoughts to my state representative and senator.
It's a chicken and egg situation. But once support for LTE becomes common in subscribers' hardware, the carriers will have an incentive to upgrade their own hardware to support LTE.
Installing anything other than stock Chrome OS on a Chromebook requires first putting the Chromebook in developer mode. Whenever a Chromebook in developer mode is turned on, the firmware displays a 30-second interstitial warning to the effect "OS verification is OFF; press Space to enable OS verification". Pressing Ctrl+D closes the interstitial. Pressing Space instead warns the user that reenabling OS verification permanently deletes everything stored on the Chromebook, with Enter to confirm doing so.
The moment you are proposing a law that subjects some citizens to a government scrutiny and not others - you have a violation of a basic human right: the right to equality before the law.
To conservatives, both cis and trans people choose to make themselves subject to government scrutiny by using a public restroom, just as people choose to make themselves subject to backscatter imaging by using an airline.
And seriously... who the fuck carries their birth certificate around everywhere ?
Every licensed driver, as a valid driver's license is a proxy for a birth certificate for this purpose.
Plenty of moms are gonna have the same problem with their sons too.
Many of these bills exempt a single-digit-year-old child accompanied by his or her parent of the opposite sex (source).

Why should city-dwellers subsidize your chosen lifestyle.
Because city dwellers need to eat. Or would you prefer farming within city limits?

Meanwhile in Australia, they're rolling out 1GB over LTE!
From the linked page: "Gigabit LTE will chew up that $100 in under 10 seconds."

And even with regular TV, I FF past most of the ads.
Using the DVR rented from the cable company, a $750* TiVo DVR, or something else? If the last, which?
* $200 for the hardware and $550 for the required program guide subscription.

since I primarily purchase retail, I have no wholesale distributor invoice to prove authenticity.
If your supplier is a closeout retailer, such as Big Lots or Ollie's, a scan of your receipt ought to count as a supplier invoice.

Though the first version of Dr. Florence Goodenough's "Draw-A-Person" intelligence test wasn't perfect either, it was still good enough for sorting children into tracks for gifted, normal, or intellectually disabled students.

North Carolina allows amending the birth certificate of a post-op trans person born in North Carolina.

Lua also conventionally uses 1 as the first index.

Data plan cramming used to be a thing four years ago. Nowadays, T-Mobile USA allows use of an Android phone on even a $3/mo prepaid plan.
Try one of these:
A. Use a PC with a pre-Ryzen or pre-Kaby Lake CPU.
B. Use Wine in GNU/Linux.
C. Use Windows 7 in VirtualBox in GNU/Linux.
If all three are unacceptable, please explain in detail how each is unacceptable.

Pick one.
For the sake of the present argument, let's pick the ASUS T100TA.
Chances are it will work.
Nope. Suspend, camera, and Bluetooth are broken on T100TA.
Why not use the host file to 'fix' this problem if you have metered connection.
Because Windows has started to use a different resolver for "servicing" the operating system, such as updates and telemetry.
Joining a botnet would put you even further over your bandwidth limit for the month.
