New TV
So I waited to buy another tv. I know there have been discussions about smart tvs and various alternatives to cable amongst the group. Well I got a new tv with Google Chromecast built in. Holy shit, this thing is insane and it was a good deal.

I am interested in more of these other things, but I don't think I could ever not have live network tv so cutting the cord is out...not to mention iffy Internet speeds at times.

A lot of buffering and pixelated images.@"Sir Viking Bob VWO" said:In a metro area you don't get good Internet and over the air networks ?
