Sucks that the cable we get in Corvallis - where the school is actually located - does NOT get Portland stations on cable, only Spewgene.
There is streaming, but having no internet access other than my phone I certainly don't want to look at that tiny screen for 3 hours.
Hope enough folks will badger the Spewgene CW that they might consider carrying it as well. Don't think they could get uo games even if they wanted them. 🤬

How does the "cast" work? My phone and TV are both Samsung if that matters. |

Just plug the chromecast into the back of the TV and download the app to your phone. There will be a small square in the corner of the screen that will send the video to your TV. We use it for the livestream games it works great. |

Samsung smart TV? If so, you may not even need a streaming stick. I stream from my phone to my TCL TV all the time. A Google search would be a good place to start. |

I get all the local stations, including Portland CW and Fox. A lot of it has to do with where you live, reception-wise. If you're interested in that route, do a bit of research on what people are saying about reception where you live. Only downside is you can't record, unless you added some kind of aftermarket recording device. I think I paid about $30 for my antenna on Amazon. Plugs into back of TV, and antenna sticks to your wall, or window |

There will be a small square in the corner of the screen that will send the video to your TV. We use it for the livestream games it works great. I use a Chromecast as well, many times. You just plug it into one of the HDMI ports on your TV and then you have to through a simple process to pair w/ remote (on newer models) and your phone. Then, when you open up an app, many of them will have a little Chromecast icon, you just click on that and, viola, picture goes to TV. If you really got desperate, you could get it on a Chrome browser and then if it knows about the device there's an option to Cast or something like that (I don't remember) and you get the whole web page there. |

I think I still have a VHS tape with like 12 hours of The Simpsons, and Head Bangers Ball on it, somewhere I have a tape of a bunch of "TV Funhouse" and "Liquid TV" episodes. My most treasured VHS item is an original version of Star Wars where Han shoots Greedo before Greedo has a chance to do anything. |
