The important thing to understand is that Warner Bros Discovery is an absolute clusterfuck of a company; David Zaslav is such an amoral, money-grubbing piece of shit that he has been condemned by the anti-defamation league for justifying anti-semitism; and the marketing idiots have spent millions of dollars to rebrand HBO Max to Max and back to HBO Max.
Looks like the only way to stream the latest episodes of Naked and Afraid is on the DiscoveryGo app (which requires a cable subscription). Full seasons show up after they air on Discovery+ (but not Max). SNL should be on Peacock, but I just watch on youtube the next day anyway so I can skip the shitty skits. Jeopardy is unique in that it's direct-to-syndication, so it airs on different networks in different markets. So it doesn't "belong" to any company that operates a streaming service. Reddit tells me that you can use Paramount+ and spoof your location to watch it live on a CBS affiliate, but honestly for anything on broadcast TV, I'd just buy an antenna (I did that for the NFL a lot). I've found that when it comes to streaming, you either just accept what the service has, or you keep your piracy skills sharp as a backup if you need a specific show.
Just got home from a hike with nearly 5k feet of ascent in the 80 degree sun. I ate my last granola bar on the way home. I have since eaten two bowls of pasta, a banana, half a dozen peppermint patties and the same number of oreos, two fistfuls of peanuts and I am currently eying a block of aged cheddar. I feel like a crazy person. In RE: the cord cutting, an antenna is the best way to watch the few syndicated things you might want like Jeopardy, without jumping through hoops. Unfortunately some networks still reserve certain shows to air first on cable - not much you can do except pirate or wait.
I've lost complete control of my streaming services. I'm probably paying for Disney+ like 5 times between Hulu, Verizon, etc.
As much fun as it is to watch movies through the phone camera lens of a Chinese guy with Parkinsons, sometimes I just don't feel like dealing with ExpressVPN + l337x.to + Vuze + Sonarr + Plex.
Oh yeah, I have a few hundred movies on my Plex and all them were from YIFY/YTS. Plus I have the full Three Stooges library for my dad. TV shows are my hang-up, and I'm out of the loop on many of the popular ones anyway. Why watch White Lotus when I can watch MTS3K reruns?
I fully acknowledge that it's goddamn annoying to feel like you need to pirate shows in order to just watch something you want to watch - at least, without doing the "which streaming service is this and do I have it in one of my existing bundles and do they publish the show I want in real time or on delay and..." dance. But honestly, the setup is basically a one time thing. If I want a new show, I drop it in Sonarr and the torrent sites are automatically scanned - new episode comes out, and poof, it appears in my streaming server. My in-laws think this is magic. They'll hesitantly ask me about some new show they want to watch and in 20 minutes the whole season will be there for them. If I want a movie, I put it in Radarr, and it'll only download once the digital release is out - so no shaky camera work with audience sounds. The piracy community has made media delivery an automated service. It's actually way more convenient than real streaming. I would happily pay for real streaming, but fuck, I'm not going to maintain half a dozen subscriptions to the tune of $100/month, or go through the work of signing up and canceling when there's a show that strikes my interest. Or deal with the shitty apps (I'm looking at you, Food Network). Or figure out what constitutes watching at "home" vs. "not at home" and what that means for the streaming service's attempts to prevent password sharing.
I hear ya, I just need to carve off an hour or so on a Saturday, figure out my streaming shit and then set it up the right way. Who knew a deluge of viewable content would annoying?
Sounds like magic to me. Shit like that never works for me. I could have the damn CIA set it up for me and it'd fail 20 minutes after they left the house. I've got 3 hours into trying to get our cat feeder to connect to the new wifi and as of last night, it still won't see the new wifi. Same pet feeder that worked fine in the last house. We're pretty sure we'll just pay directv or Xfinity for our tech incompetence
Wifi generally comes in 2 flavours; 2.4 and 5. Most shitty products like cat feeders only work on the older, 2.4 range. If your new wifi is only set up to broadcast 5, then your cat feeder won't see it if it only works with 2.4. Try connecting into your wifi and enabling both 2.4 and 5 connections, if you can.

Tried that. Pet feeder recommended changing the 2.4 wifi to yadayadayada2.4 and trying to connect to that. No go. I tried to factory reset the machine through the app and start fresh and when trying to, it gave me a "process not allowed at this moment. Try again later" message
