I'm outta options then. I've practically suggested everything under the sun.
Obviously nothing any of us suggest is doable in your definition, legitimately
or not.
Maybe someone else can at this point chime in, I feel I've been even more
patient than what normally I would have been with most people. NOt saying
you're a burden. You're definitely not, but, I just don't know what else to
suggest. I've practically ran out of possibilities. You have the info, you have
the tools, now it's up to you entirely what you do with the resources we've all
provided.
I apologize to Peter for prolonging this thread further if all my last
responses this morning have been going to the list adding more clutter.
Also, as you can see, I've changed the subject line to something more
appropriate. I should have done that way earlier on, so again, I apologize.
Chris.

Hello Joe and everyone,
We didn’t want to buy those air conditioners but we didn’t
want to suffer through the rest of our summer. What’s neat about these is
that they’re smart and can be controlled by Alexa. Moral? If you want to
avail yourself of services that could prove to be more blind-friendly like
our air conditioners you need to invest in the necessary hardware to allow
you to use these services such as cable replacement services. iPhones can be
paid out over a period of years making it possible to buy one on a limited
budget. No more begging for someone else to buy this technology and more
fundraising to buy it yourself so you can enjoy the many benefits technology
such as a smartphone or a Fire Stick can offer you.

Aside from the cable issue, If you would like to get free training on
iPhones you can contact the Mass. Association for the Blind. They are even
doing remote training now.

yes the reason why Chris I don't like them is because they can track you,
also don't no how to use a eyephone, and don't have the money to pay someone
to try and learn it.

If you don't mind me asking, you keep saying, I don't like smart phones, I
don't like smart TVs, etc. Rather than just repeating over and over, I don't
like… Fill in the blank… Could you possibly explain more the reason why? It
might help us to better find a solution that would be comparable, if we knew
your reasons. i'm not asking you to go into extremely personal reasonings,
but generally speaking, if you could give us a little more to go on, it
would certainly help.

It depends on what package you get, but generally speaking, yes. Regardless
the package, you definitely would get all your local channels. again
though, without a smart phone, or a smart TV, or a device such as an Apple
TV/fire stick, using YouTube TV is going to be difficult. Not impossible.
You could still access it from a web browser, but the experience definitely
will be less desirable. That much, I can guarantee. It can be done, but
it's certainly not ideal. not only that, but, I'm not sure if browsers such
as Microsoft edge, Internet exploder, or Firefox would work with the
service optimally. I still have my Windows machine for audio production
stuff that I do professionally, however, for every day personal use, I use
a Mac now pretty much for everything. I see that just to say, my days of
browsing the web on windows pretty much are done. I might do it in a pinch
if I have no other option, but, I'm not the most familiar with most
up-to-date modern web browsers for windows.

You can subscribe to YouTube TV which gives you 100 channels for $65. I
have not tried it but it should be similar to cable. The fire TV stick by
itself is not similar to cable. An, no, you don’t need to et Prime with it.

Yes, drop Cable TV, perhaps lower your internet speed but do that as a
last resort.
Then get an Amazon Fire TV which I know you don’t want as you don’t want a
Smart TV. But there’s a lot as an Amazon Prime Member that is available
for free.

Yeah, I’m paying Comcast $231 and tomorrow I plan to tell them that I am
cutting the cord with them or else. I really don’t watch Cable that much
and so I’m going back to Verizon VIOS albeit Comcast ha definitely
improved over the last few years from what it used to be where I paid for
faster internet speed and would experience outage of several hours at
least every couple of weeks to just occasional drops I suppose when they
update. Still, I have to trim the budget for personal reasons so if they
won’t bargain with me, I’ll just use mostly free Apps on my Fire TV and
what Amazon offers which is pretty good.
