Tyson is our current leading voice of intelligence and reason. We're lucky to have him.

Even when TV connection goes bonkrs, we save his stuff (somehow, don't ask me, spouse is the genius at that stuff).

Forgot to add we do antenna-type TV. Here in the Interior, it gets iffy.

And get a few local channels.

Our neighbor has a high power server for working from home, and helped us to get the signal in our house.

Add a firestick and a hulu subscription and we have no need of a cord.

NDT is one of our must-watches.
