anyone here using youtube tv for their tv channels? my real estate guy has convinced my wife that at only $69US per month you can get all the usual channels plus alot of others so you don't have to get a hacked streaming device to watch what you want too, cable tv is in the $160+US per month and you get what they give you and that's it. I would keep my fiber optic internet but dump their cable modem and just use my own, I use my own for wifi router now as I'm not paying $7US per month for 2 year old technology.

I dumped the cable box a long time ago.  I currently am using YoutubeTV and I have to say we love it.  The unlimited DVR, channel selection, and the capability to watch on all of my devices no matter where I am make it a pretty nice package. 

 

**Edit**

Almost forgot to mention the fact that you can arrange the channel guide anyway you like.  Might sound trivial, but I like being able to arrange the channels based on my viewing preferences.  No more flicking thru 50 channels to get to the one you want to watch!

And within a month, they will rearrange the channel numbers, for anyone of numerous reasons and your 3rd most popular channel number will now be a shopping channel. 

Thank you very much, that helps alot!!

Of course I don't like the channel rearranging part but my cable company did that awhile back when they went to providing HD channels, they not only added the HD channels they changed the regular numbers and the HD channels are not found by simply adding a 9, for my cable company, to find the HD channel. Now when I lived in Northern Virginia Verizon FIOS came thru and they added the HD channels by simply adding a 6 in front of the regular channel number.

FWIW - YoutubeTV has not changed my Channel list since I edited it.  Going on 8 or 9 months now....  Just have to remember to add new channels as they come available because they wont put them in your list when you are using a custom guide.

It is interesting to know that there are not only invasive animals (and insects) that were introduced to Europe from America, but also that the wasp (German yellowjacket), for example, only appeared in America in 1975. I did not know that.

That's one reason the US Border Patrol is sooo strict about bringing some things into the US, waaaay too many invasive species coming in from places that are wiping out the native species. I'm sure it happens the opposite way too though, US critters going overseas and being the invasive species and causing havoc.

Before the U.S. adopted the metric system for surveying the country, it used the Survey Mile which was slightly different from the International mile.

There is something like an 'international mile'? Maybe the nautical mile, which is at least defined by the coordinate grid? But there also had been several definitions: US nautical mile (1853m), 'sea mile' (1852m), ...

From my (continental) european perspective... The following is just hilarious.

Imperial and US customary measurement systems
