This is a layman's guide about how to cut the cable and home phone service you get from the cable company. It teaches you how watch anything you want, for free and how to get free home phone service. The Free TV List: http://pookyfish.tk/Free-TV.html Ooma's free home phone service tax calculator here: https://go.ooma.com/tax_calculator? Comcast's money-grubbing, content-blocking of NBC here: http://www.nbc.com/live This video will show you how to keep your old home phone number and landline and how to hook up your TV to the internet so you can watch all your shows, movies and local news, for free, without subscriptions to services like Netflix, Hulu or Amazon Prime. You will be able to test all of the things in this video before you make a final decision either way, but it's hard to argue with free, when you know how to get it. It means you have to make a little adjustment from what you are used to. For example, your tv remote will now be a wireless keyboard and mouse. and the need to record your shows on a dvr will be eliminated because you can simply just stream them over the internet, without commercials, whenever you want, for free. There is no reason to be intimidated by all the different ways you can connect your devices to each other. All you have to do is match the shapes of your ports to the corresponding cables. Most flat screen televisions come with a number of different inputs, like VGA, RCA and HDMI being the most common. Most computers, especially laptops and even some tablets and smart phones come with some kind of secondary video output port. In older computers, VGA, S-video and DVI are the most common video ports. Newer devices usually come standard with a regular or mini-HDMI port. Even though I cannot cover all of the different ways for you to connect your computer, tablet or smartphone to your television as there are just too many. It doesn't mean that you can't figure out what kind of ports you are working with and what kind of cables you'll need. Luckily for you, and the majority of others, it's either going to be VGA, HDMI, or both. You will find them on the backs of your televisions and computers and it's likely that you already have the cables you'll need to hook them up. If it helps, just consider your television to be a giant computer monitor. After all, it has all the same hook ups. HDMI can transfer uncompressed video, audio and data signals, very fast, on the same cable. This is why it is popular. So if find that your only option is VGA, DVI or S-video, you will have to manually configure your speakers and sound separately since they don't carry audio signals like HDMI.
