A New Cordcutter makes a Point

===================

Cable was Out last night and yet 

life went on...

With a little gadget called 

Raspberry Pi, 

the show went on.

----------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------

Of course with my new add on YouTube TV

and my Chromecast connector, I could still

watch 'live' network tv.  Thus I was able to 

see the Clippers win game 6 with Utah and

force a game 7 on  Sunday.

Lucky me, I had just set up my desktop 

computer running Win 7 with the Chrome

browser and had access to my new 

YouTube TV Toy.

-----------------------------------------------

Afterwards, using the Raspberry Pi

We watched old episodes of  Dark Matter

season 2. Which switched on the ABC

pluugin that has a list of  ABC shows

both old and new.  We watched a couple 

of episodes of  The Middle, whose comedy

is not from left field.

============================

The Xiaomi Mi 6 is now official. Introduced by Xiaomi founder and CEO Lei Jun this morning, the eagerly awaited handset features a 
5.15-inch display carrying a 1080 x 1920 FHD resolution. 

The Snapdragon 835 chipset is under the hood with an 
octa-core 2.45 GHz CPU, 

and the Adreno 540 GPU. 

The handset will come with 6GB of RAM and 64GB or 
128GB of native storage. 

A 3350mAh battery is charged with keeping the lights on. Because the Snapdragon 835 SoC is 25% more efficient than the Snapdragon 820, 
the Mi 6 should provide users with outstanding battery life.

Saturdays Post on Working with my new YouTube TV

YouTube TV  The Good Part:

YouTube TV is working very well now.  Saw live broadcast

on my windows 10 laptop of  the Clippers and the Jazz in 

game one of the first round semi-finals.

The Bad Part:

The Clippers lost with a last

second shot of the game.

And so it goes.

MC2backup And the Screens Just Keep On Coming

A New Phase of TV that comes over the air: 

YouTube TV  from Google.

Starting with 39 basic channels of  CBS NBC ABC FOX and ESPN and many more in Live Feed and the ability to record everything (like 3 simultaneous channels to watch later. ) 

The $35 dollar entry price is very tempting.

Google TV And Why is Everyone saying "Game Over" ???

I'm just getting up to Speed about Google's New You Tube TV app.

The chatter about it started (where else?) 

on Leo's Sunday TWIT Show. 

With more info added  on Tuesday's

All About Android  (AAA)
episode 313.

About 40 minutes into the AAA podcast.

Is it the Bees Knees?  

Is it the TV Interface
that Jobs was looking for?


So far, at first Blush, it does Look Pretty Good
