I'm not a boomer. I'm only 36 and I have YouTube Tv which is just like cable.

I've met other people recently who switched to cable from streaming too. DVD's are also making a comeback.

Maybe you can't stand it but some of us love it. Feels like its still 2004 at my house.

You love the constant ad breaks and lack of ability to watch what you want when you want?

[–] cubedsteaks@lemmy.today 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I watch what I want when I want. DVR is still a thing lmao

Dvr is also a slave to cable schedule. You have to remember to record things, etc. Streaming is superior in that reguard.

No? I set a show to record and its there forever.

edited to add: unless you don't know what you like? I mean, I like something, I record it. Then I can watch it. Super easy. no scrolling.
