I am really serious about cutting the cord. My wife says after the
olympics but that was today. I am already transitioning to streaming, I am working my way through the Amazon Prime documentaries They have just about anything that PBS ever aired. I talked about the American Experience show about the MLK assassination the other day. Today I am watching Frontline season 27 ep 8. This is contemporary with the 2009 crash and it is pretty interesting, carving through some of the myths we may have. |

My large HD TV is not "smart" (connected to the Internet) so I use the Sony PS4 to stream stuff from Amazon. Their prime account entitles you to many movies and archived shows as you mention for free. I can also access Hulu, Netfix and other sources but I don't watch enough to bother with them. Smart tvs are cheap nowadays. I paid 800 for a 60 inch smart plasma tv at good old Walmart. A side benefit is that I can heat the house with it. -- x ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/ |

Mine can become "smart" if I buy a Roku wireless streaming stick that plugs into the TV's USB port. It's a 65" and I bought it before having Internet connectivity became built-in on most TVs. Accessing the 'net via the PS4 is just as effective and it works fine. I just don't watch TV enough to warrant buying another TV just for built-in Internet connectivity. Most of the time I just use a little 23" HD TV that sits on my desk beside my computer monitor. |

Noticed your TV is a plasma type. Those things are power hogs or at least they used to be, especially the bigger ones. The last plasma I had was a 40 something inch and I measured it's current draw at about 5 amps. The 65" I have now is LED. Picture quality is probably not quite as good as a plasma but current draw is about half that of the previous 40 something inch. HD picture quality really doesn't matter using Comcast cable because their signal is so compressed that the full HD isn't processed. The streaming stuff from Amazon is better. |

With a 2.4gz wireless mouse you end up with a TV that is a whole lot smarter than the ones sold as smart. We have both here. The PC connected wins every time in every category. The best combo seems to be my "travel" laptop connected to some no name TV. When the lap top turns off the TV goes to sleep and I have it set to hibernate when you close the lid. Open the lid, the pc comes to life and the TV comes on. You can get to any streaming service that way along with being able to play music or look at your pictures using whatever PC app you like. |

I don't collect or save old PCs. When they crap out or become so obsolete they can't run current apps efficiently I buy a new one. I "do" have an older Win 7 laptop that I no longer use regularly but I keep it as a backup or possible traveling computer. Somewhere I have an old XP laptop as well but it is painfully slow compared to Win 7 and Win 10. I wouldn't even bother with it. |
