Watching Television in 2025 This Christmas, I got my kids televisions specifically for use as displays for gaming. The television I selected (Hisense 65U7N) just happened to have an ATSC 3.0 tuner, so I ran RG-6 from the UHF antenna in my attic to the one of the televisions. A channel scan found WGBH*NX, WBZ*NX, WCVB*NX, WBTS*NX, WFXT*NX, WWJE*NX, and WUNI*NX. All were rock solid at a distance of 35 miles and looked spectacular -- at least as good as the ATSC 1.0 counterparts. There was no interactivity that I noticed, and I was not impacted by DRM. Nothing to motivate me to avoid or embrace Nexgen TV. Apparently, I'm not alone in that assessment: ATSC 3.0: The future of broadcast TV spent another year in neutral | PCWorld BUT, I still watch broadcast television. These days, for the most part, my antennas are streamed to my televisions (and other devices) via the Sling TV app and AirTV Anywhere whole house DVRs. A bonus of this arrangement is that I can watch one stream out of my home. I have four of these and share these out-of-home streams with siblings and offspring. I would say that about 20% of my viewing is broadcast television -- news in the morning and when something is happening, sports on occasion, current network offerings (I love Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage), and syndicated programming. I enjoy Pluto TV as well. From time to time, I survey other (FREE) streaming television. Last week, I spent some time exploring Roku TV. I found the Live TV Guide and the Graham Norton Show channel. Graham Norton is the best talk host since Johnny Carson. He's an Irish guy who hosts a talk show in England (which is funny to them). Like Carson, he has the gravitas to entice the big stars to cross the pond for an interview. Also like Carson, he is always very well prepared and gets a great interview out of the most interesting guests.

My HR rep lives in a different state from where I work. She has never been to the facility, has never responded to an email from me, and has never answered her phone when I have called during business hours. There is something to be said for being able to darken an enemy's door from time to time.

No. 80% of my job is administrative. I can do that in the office or remotely. 20% of my job has to be executed in a designated space. If I do those things outside the space, it's a felony. While the specifics of the infraction are above my paygrade, I manage to be compliant.

Cooked a nine pound ham in this oven last night. I may never use my range's oven again.

Still time to change your mind .

Excited about spending money? I'm afraid you have stumbled into the wrong forum.

I think it's fine. The lenovo gives you a bigger screen, twice as much storage, and a faster CPU for the same price.

I bought my first HDTV in 2009. It was a 720p Samsung plasma. Still looks great.

You're welcome. If you are a Costco member, I like the Lenovo. It's $150 more than the least expensive models, but 27" touchscreen, Ryzen 5 7535HS, 16GB RAM, and 1TB SSD put it head and shoulders above the rest.

I'm looking at these for kids who primarily play games on a television... Hisense 65-Inch Class U7 Series Mini-LED Pro ULED 4K UHD Google Smart TV (65U7N) - QLED Quantum Dot Color, Dolby Vision, Native 144Hz, Up to 1500-Nit, Full Array Local Dimming, Motion Rate 480 - Walmart.com Hisense and TCL are my favorite 'budget' televisions. At $698, these do not exactly qualify as budget, but you get a lot of value for your dollar. 144hz for gaming is excellent. With the ATSC 3.0 tuner, you should be able to pick up FREE HDTV with a mud flap antenna in the right window. Google TV is a good OS, but you can always switch to Roku or FireTV by adding an inexpensive dongle.
