Even Though I Do Not Have Cable, Anyone Know of Any Show Marathons Today into the 4th of July


For some odd reason, I always use to see ads about Twilight Zone Marathons coming on on festive days.

without cable ??? Good luck

Technically, I cannot afford it. Once Spectrum came into being, I have totally eliminated it from my budget.

reply

do you have Netflix or any other streaming service ??

reply

Boot leg sites and youtube. I figure, if I am paying $64.99 for internet, why not just double up and use it as a streaming service right?

I still miss being able to watch t.v. in real time. Just the fact that you have shows, for the watching, at your fingertips. It is more random and entertaining.

reply

I tried some of those bootleg sites - I'm always afraid of viruses.

reply

Yes, you definitely have to look into the right site. I have had this one referred to me from facebook, when another of its sister sites went down. I still have not yet had a virus downloaded on my comp.

You could purchase an antenna for over the air broadcasts. If not able to affix it outside, running cable etc., there are some good indoor ones.

reply

We have an antenna on our roof. We get about 15 channels.
We also have a Roku box for streaming. There are many sites on that where we can stream for free. We buy Netflix gift cards every three months so we subscribe to that.
The Twilight Zone is something I watch on Netflix. I use to watch the marathons on SyFy and participate on the TZ board during the marathons. I still do it here! Many of us have participated in it the past 20 hours. If Arvin is so interested I can't understand why he is here on General Discussion. He ought to go to that board and DISCUSS!

It appears that I am irresistible to Margo. She has to come on my threads. LOL!

You might as well just apologize.

reply

I don't have cable either - haven't since '09. I can make my own marathon with series I own, such as Dick Van Dyke, Doc Martin, Inspector Morse, Inspector Lewis, Endeavour, As Time Goes By, etc. Really haven't missed regular or cable TV and the plethora of commercials they have.

reply

But the commercials are sometimes fun. I mean who seriously does not like watching t.v. for outrageous prices and then throwing more money away at restaurants and other things shown in the ads? I miss those days. Now, it is more "right to the point" with what I watch.
