    Stores still have wedding registries?

    Are you thinking of Playstation Vue? We got it when we cut the cord a few months ago. Very good decision. BTW: you don't need a Playstation to use it. We use Roku Sticks. Funny how they don't have an app for that on the XBox One... PC vs. Console is cyclical. I remember playing the Star Wars games (XWing vs. Tie Fighter for example) on a PC. Then as the consoles improved, I spent more time playing on a Wii or XBox. Part of the allure to the console is the ability to easily play with multiple people at the same time. 20 years ago, there weren't very good game controllers for the PC (I think I still have my first USB gaming controller). I have heard some of the younger guys at work use a service called Steam. Has anybody used that? How is the selection and the service?

    Yesterday, our dish network subscription was turned off. We went to Best Buy and purchased a Roku streaming stick along with a Mohu 50 mile antenna. Best Buy had a deal where if you purchased a streaming device, then you got a discount on the 50 mile antenna. We did not start our subscription with PlayStation Vue yet. There is a deal with Roku where you get two free months of HBO go with the purchase of a Roku device. I will let you guys know how things go from here on in. Total cost of the antenna and Roku streaming stick: $95.

    Last night, we cancelled our subscription with Dish Network after 11 years. We already have a Netflix and Prime subscription and that is mostly what the kids watch anyway. We were paying $105 / month for the top 120 (not 120+), local channels, one hopper, one joey. They kept creeping up the price where it got to the point where we didn't think $105/month was worth it. Now what? Well, we are going to purchase one of the Moku Leaf products. We live near Southridge, so the 30 mile one should work out fine, although we don't have any windows facing towards downtown Milwaukee (weird, I know). That will take care of live, over the air (OTA) items. We already have the house wired with coax because of Dish, so we could put in an amplifier and splitter to get the signal to all three TVs. So, what about sports? Well, I think we are going to go with Playstation Vue. The $35/month bundle has almost every sports station we could want. Plus, it allows you to DVR items for up to 28 days. This includes OTA shows. It has other channels we want. It is also a month-to-month structure similar to Sling TV. Oh -- and we can stream 5 shows at once. I think Sling only allows 1 or 2. We will be purchasing one Roku stick to see how that goes. We may end up purchasing two more. Fun, fun, fun!

    Two trips to the DL gets me a little nervous.

    As I was coming back from one of my daughter's softball tournaments last night, I commented how baseball is so much different than softball. On my 18U team, we had a girl pitch four games in two days: 113, 88, 86, and 80 pitches. Due to injuries, I had to pitch another pitcher a few years ago that had 300 pitches in a day. That would be impossible with throwing overhand. I looked at the little league rules and the WIAA are more lenient than those of the Little League at the same age. What is the general rule of thumb for minors and MLB?

    Seconded... Fourthed I don't typically reply in threads. But when I do, I fifth what was said... The Ayes have it.

    A little bit of Googling found the Disney answer: http://www.techhive.com/article/3060615/streaming-services/why-sling-tv-multi-stream-plans-are-missing-espn-and-disney-for-now.html The article also talks about Viacom being added. I don't want those channels, so please give me the ability to not pay for them. I thought SlingTV was going to be more of an a-la-carte subscription service. Before long, it will cost $70 with 300 channels I don't care about.

    Since I'm not as well informed... Does F1 have oval tracks, or is there always some type of road racing component to those races?
  10. Samurai Bucky
    I am watching the Brewers on Sling right now. You just need to switch to the Beta subscription. It is the same price as the other option ($20) but with 5 more channels. I compared the packages and the Disney family of networks doesn't seem to be in the Beta package.

    The lead actress is pretty cute...

    This reminds me of "calling a field" when I played with my buddies as a child. Does anybody have a feeling for if the shifts tend to shift towards a batter pulling the ball instead of hitting it the other way? It would be shading to left for the right handed hitter and to right for the left handed hitter. If so, could it be because youth hitters are not being taught to spray the ball as opposed to "grip it and rip it?"

    Don't know if they made it to the Southwest side. I'm guessing not.

    Nice mention of Paul Quantrill -- one of the last players to don a Wisconsin Badgers jersey.

    Maybe Stearns should take a page out of the Marquette handbook. Henry Ellenson would most likely not be attending Marquette if his brother, Wally, was still playing in Minnesota. Would it make sense to get the package deal?
  17. Samurai Bucky
    Yea....but....it's BIGGER. ... and the exhaust port (weakness in the station) is bigger than 2 meters, too!

    If there is one "untouchable" record, it is Cy Young's 511 wins. Nobody will ever start that many games unless they have a bionic arm.

    Wasn't one of the knocks on ARam that he wasn't a good defensive player? He seems like he is doing a very good job...

    So K-Rod hasn't been able to sell his house? ;-)

    If you had children, then I would suggest the City Museum. For that matter, perhaps you don't need children. It is a BIG HUGE INDOOR PLAYGROUND! I had fun.

    Regardless, I'm sure 920 will have more listeners than they do now.
  23. Samurai Bucky
    Hmmm... where is that ignore button?

    Guess what time it is? http://www.woot.com/

    You beat me to it. Hopefully, DISH will devote the bandwidth so it will be in HD.
