OT: Cord Cutters, Streaming Services & Streaming Devices

I know there was a long thread quite a while back about cord cutting, streaming services and devices, but with recent and not so recent price changes, new streaming services, and everyone having had a chance to enjoy (or not enjoy, depending upon the quality) most of this year's football season, I thought it could be helpful to revisit what everyone's using and how happy they are with their services (channel offerings, streaming quality, service interface, support if you've needed it) and devices.

We currently have Hulu + Live TV, Netflix and Amazon Prime. We have three TVs. One has a Roku, one has a Firestick and one is a Smart TV that also has a Roku on it, and we have a Nvidia Shield that we're currently not using. We also have a couple of HD digital antennae that work surprisingly good for the local channels. Our wireless router is a high quality gaming wireless router that's quite good, and we have high speed internet that far exceeds the requirements of any streaming service.

We're strongly considering making a change in our primary streaming service, with Hulu's recent 22% price increase (and the increase, which takes place next month, offers no new channels or functionality). The channel offerings for the Hulu + Live are pretty good, including the sports channel line-up (the one thing we seriously miss from our previous cable plan is the NFL channel). The Hulu interface is very much lacking, in our opinion.

We've done a desperation-based trial of Fubo TV twice, once to get a UCF game that we couldn't get on any of our services and once to try to catch an NFL game being played in London. The quality was horrible each time, prompting us to forever nickname it Fubar, and feeling confident that we've never pay for that (lack of) service.

Sling looks to be inexpensive, but very limited. Haven't done a Sling trial, so no idea of the quality or the interface.

Just started a trial of YouTube TV, so we'll see how that goes. Grandson's here this week, so also kicked off a Disney+ trial, which I don't anticipate we'll continue after the trial.

*****Call it Now - Sam Houston Edition*****

Simple game. Call the first score by your Knights. Winner gets name on the Wall of Fame and a pair of Coozies.​

Rules: you MUST call both the QB and receiver for passing scores along with the yardage. For all other scores RB, kickers, defenders, punt/ kick off returns you must call the yardage and the name of the player. Closest to the yardage wins. Price is right rules: If two people are exact yardage apart, closest without going over wins. You can only play once per account.


2024 Wall of Fame:
New Hampshire - Raynman

Sam Houston - ?

Congratulations to @ed4ucf for the call of Boomer from 29yds. Actual was 25yds. If you’d like a pair of Coozies send me a DM with your address.

This week I’m calling RJ Harvey from 16yds out!

Good luck!
Go Knights!!

Best Mexico Vacation Spots?

Looking to plan a vacation to Mexico for spring break 2025. Children are 13 & 15. Don’t need little kid entertainment or night club scene. Thinking Mayan ruins, Cenotes, beach, snorkeling, good eats, etc.

Not really interested in Cozumel or Cancun.

I was thinking Tulum but I read the area blew up over the last decade and is now overpriced and there are other places to stay that are just as nice and less expensive.

Any reviews/suggestion on Tulum or any other destinations? Thx!

Friday Night Big-12 Action. BYU @SMU ESPN2

Hard to believe BYU is an underdog to SMU...but, that's why they play the games!!!

"Don’t look now, but BYU is a hefty 10.5-point underdog Friday night against also-undefeated SMU here in Big D, although the Cougars are 4-0 all-time against the Mustangs. Kickoff is at 5 p.m. MDT at intimate, 32,000-seat Gerald J. Ford Stadium, and the nonconference matchup will be televised by ESPN2."

Can double-digit underdog Cougars pull off another September surprise?​

Updated Weather Forecast for Sam Houston St: Tailgating and Game

Well I thought game day forecast for Game 1 held up pretty well so lets see how Game 2 goes.

Its been a somewhat interesting 36 hrs as yesterday was predicted to be a major gully washer but the UCF area barely got a drop so hoping for a similar outcome this weekend.

Saturday: Normal Summer Weather with temps still only topping out around 88 or 89 degrees...with kickoff temps around 86 degrees.

Early rain forecast is 60% chance of rain with storms possible in the afternoon and a chance of light rain during the evening.

Last year on Sept 7th: The high in/around UCF was 93 degrees with no rain.

I'm hoping with the high chance of rain for Thursday (71%) and Friday (75%), that can help push out some moisture to lessen the chance of rain some on Saturday.

NOTE: With early 6:30 pm kickoff...the East Side Stands will be in the sun for a bit with sunset not happening till 7:39 pm.

COLUMN: Welcome to Big 12 Football Country

For a School in the home of hospitality, UCF fans could take a clue from some of the Big XII schools in terms of how they treat visiting fans.

Last season I went to five UCF football away games, with four of those games being Big XII schools. While UCF had a rough time on the field in many of these games, as a fan, I had a great experience interacting with other fans, observing their traditions and experiencing the games in the visitors’ stadiums.
