The digital antenna is AWESOME! Pulls in local channels with great clarity. It is about the size of a place mat. I mounted on wall behind a painting that hangs above the TV. So I now have access to local broadcast channels WITHOUT cable. Now for more exploring on Kodi and the AddOns....

Thanks to all the forum members for their input. Here is the latest update on my cord cutting activity: Decided to try new "digital antenna". Used the following website to determine distance to transmitters. http://www.antennapoint.com. It is about 37 miles. The digital antenna should arrive today from Amazon. AmazonBasics Ultra Thin Indoor HDTV Antenna, 50 Mile Range (Latest Version). Will test reception out to see if worth keeping antenna or not. Successfully downloaded and installed Kodi on an existing Fire TV Stick. Rather involved process, but it worked. Successfully downloaded and installed FireStarter so I could access "side loaded" applications. Added Genesis and AddOn Installer. Continuing to do research on other AddOns. NYClocker, you tag line is spot on! I still have the ability to surprise myself!!! Updates to follow on progress... The scissors are out... Hey, is this like a "cable circumcision"?

No shit, this is a REAL product... PooPourri....

I just ordered a Digital Antenna from Amazon. Checked out a website that provides distance between me and transmitters. I'm about 27 miles from TV transmitters. Amazon sells one that is for picking up signals from 50 miles. I'll see how it works. It looks like a place mat. If it doesn't work, back it goes...

Any pointers on Torrent training videos? I'm thinking of Kodi (AKA XBMC) also. Thanks!

I would be interested in hearing from the august members of this forum how they have have cut the Cable TV cord. My provider (Comcast) won't allow customers to take advantage of newer cheaper rates if they "downgrade". So basically they make it next to impossible to save money by reducing services. I'm tempted to cut out all TV and just go with high speed Internet. How do you access "broadcast" TV via Internet? I don't feel like climbing on the roof to install antenna. Happy New Year! Let's make 2016 the year of cord cutting!

LMAO on this one! Thanks!

I can relate to this one!

The U.S. Pays a Lot More for Top Drugs Than Other Countries http://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2015-drug-prices/ In the U.S., drug companies set their own prices and raise them over time. One of the biggest U.S. buyers of medicine, Medicare, is prohibited from negotiating prices directly with drug companies. Private insurers and benefit managers strike their own rebate deals with drug companies, and details of these contracts are almost never disclosed. Contributing factors: Big Pharma spends Big Bucks on Lobbying!!! Big Pharma spends Big Bucks in "buying" favor of Doctors.. Big Pharma blocks generics and tweaks formulations to extend patents... Crony Capitalism big wheel keeps on turning.... Plus we are only one of two industrial nations that allow Big Pharma to advertise.... http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41uAVGHw2wL._SX327_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg

Crony Capitalism is rampant that is for sure. The stories we all could tell! I was on a consulting gig a couple of years ago when the first movie of "Horrible Bosses" came out and I LMAO so much. I'm sure others in the theater thought I was very odd. Then again, I am. You need a sense of humor to survive the crazy work environments.

I feel your pain.... And then the programming gets done in India.... And then the coding is error laden..... And then the test cases and use cases were not adequately defined..... And then the acceptance criteria were weak.... And then the contractual disputes begin.... And then Senior Management who sponsored (well managed) project are fired.... And then it starts all over....

I can't believe people would be this stupid. Well, on second thought, they probably watch Fox "News" all day. That will suck your brain cells dry. Thanks (maybe not) for sharing.

LMAO!!! This is great! Thanks so much! Wonder how old this record is? Not Stereo but 33 1/3. Anyway, great find!

This may be a twist, but I've had my "therapist" say he loved me. I think that as the trappings of clothing, electronic interruptions melt during a session, we experience the essence of our humanity. Sharing both physical and emotional energy is, in my humble opinion, love.

Gotta Love It! I really appreciate it when people are so creative and forward thinking to plant "seeds" or "bread crumbs" for us to find...

Gardener's Rule of Society. The society which scorns excellence in plumbing because plumbing is a humble activity and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an exalted activity will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy. Neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water....

Big Stud American Pharoah to Get $200,000 a Pop in Breeding Shed.... Now how is this rate for an escort??? http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-11-06/big-stud-american-pharoah-to-get-200-000-a-pop-in-breeding-shed

As they say in Real Estate, location, location, location.... For the big cities, expect big rates.... In the country and suburbs, different story....

My own personal preference and experience is that kissing is paired with cuddling. Without kissing and cuddling you are left with the mechanical aspects of sex/massage. I'd agree with WisconsinGuy that kissing is a blend of emotions and sexual sensations. It serves as the wrapper, ribbon and bow of the entire package of the experience.

Thanks for sharing this OceanSunshine. It is heart wrenching to see what is happening in this country. Empathy for our fellow citizens and neighbors has been extinguished by the hatred pumped out by Fox "News" Propaganda machine. "Since the end of the 1970s, something has gone profoundly wrong in America. Inequality has soared. Educational progress slowed. Incarceration rates quintupled. Family breakdown accelerated. Median household income stagnated." I was lucky enough to "re-invent" myself and get a job in the IT field during the "go-go" years. Now, even the IT jobs are going to India. I'm glad I'm living "off the grid" at this point in my life.

Why do cars have "head lights" and "tail lights"??? Lights on the head of the horse and the tail!! Do you "Dial" a phone number? There is not dial? You gotta love the evolution of the language!

Here is Bob's direct milking link. http://www.ultramassage.com/milkmassage/index.html

Milk(ing) Does A Body Good.... Had a great session with Bob Patrick who knows how to Milk. Perhaps he worked in a dairy barn in his youth. Extremely pleasurable IMHO. http://www.ultramassage.com/ If you every get the opportunity to work with Bob, you will enjoy the milking. Perhaps that is cows run into the barn?
