Suns @ Lakers Sunday game thread, October 6th 2024: Preseason

[AzStevenCal]

I'm in Ahwatukee. I haven't noticed the hiccups.

I got this antenna:

Man I wish an antenna, any antenna, would pick up something at my house. Not that I'd get the Suns games with it but it would be nice to have a local channel of two. Anyway, I'm streaming only (no cable or sat) but this is the first season since League Pass came out that I'm considering not buying it which would mean, no games for me.

Come on, Steve. You can't go without Suns games. Especially this season. League Pass is only $99 now.

It is crazy how many channels I get OTA. You would love it. Lot's of old-time TV shows. I also went full streaming for the first time ever after 30+ something years of satellite. I have YouTube TV in addition to OTA. Between the two I won't miss a game and I'm paying half of what I used to pay for satellite.

I don't mind spending the money, it's just that it seems like every year I become a little less interested in watching sports. And I'm not sure I have it in me to sit through another Suns season like last year. I hope/expect it will be much better but I was hoping/expecting that same thing when the last season started. I'm just tired of feeling like I'm more invested in the teams I care about than the people that own, manage and play the games.

Maybe they'll win me over as the season progresses but right now, motivation is at an all time low for me.

What are the Suns without Steve? Talking about the Suns wouldn't be the same.

I understand the antenna thing because they don't work for me either. This is why I am still with DirecTV unless they price me out of the market.

You don’t need DirecTV to get the NBA package. You can get it thru Amazon or directly from NBA.com app.

It's all about getting the local channels for me because I can get the Suns and Cardinals using them in Arizona.

A lot of the streaming services do not offer all the local channels. I could get the Suns games directly through "Live Suns" if I had too.

There are tradeoffs when one looks at all the options.

Jusuf Nurkic didn't make the trip because of the injured finger.

Gotcha.

I had to cut the DirecTV chord once the NFL ticket was gone. Just wayyyyy too much money and was paying for a bunch of apps anyway.

I'm doing satellite through DirecTV and I haven't found the same value for the money elsewhere, that's why I'm here.

Getting all the local channels is the pivotal reason.

Once one enters into the streaming world, all the options change, but I still end up better where I'm at... all said and done.

Individual circumstances are usually the decider.

 

[BirdGangThing]

That looks better than mine. Mine looks awfully phallic. It gets weird looks from guests regularly and raises some questions.

are you sure that's an antenna?

 

[Hoop Head]

are you sure that's an antenna?

It gets me channels and makes the old lady happy. Who am I to question it?
