When TV Time died I couldn't find a tracker that made migrating painless, so I built one: Help Me Binge (helpmebinge.com). Free, runs in the browser, no login. Drop in your TV Time export .zip and it brings back your shows, watched episodes, watchlist and ratings. Picks up where you left off across services, does movies and sports, rates episodes into a 'highs and lows' chart, and has a subscription scorecard that flags which streaming services are actually worth keeping. Full disclosure, it's mine — genuinely after feedback. Trakt and Simkl are the big established options too.

This week, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) passed a notice of proposed rulemaking that’s designed to allow broadcast TV stations to adopt the emerging ATSC 3.0 broadcast standard more quickly. If the FCC enacts these rule changes, broadcasters will no longer need to support the ATSC 1.0 standard that works with most TVs and tuners. Instead, they’ll be able to scale back their ATSC 1.0 coverage and even switch over to the new standard entirely.

EDIT: I mean directly from the box, NO casting from a phone or tablet.

All their channels are on-air via Livestream - here's an example - but a couple of years ago the parent company Vimeo discontinued their app for Roku, they just digitally yanked it out of our streaming boxes.

I'm living in a van, currently and sometimes I just want basic, local channels to watch sports and local news. I have zero need for something like FUBO or YoutubeTV and I really don't want to add yet another device into the mix.

Anyway, is there really no website or app where I can put on the Channel 7 news at night? I actually paid the $7 for Paramount+ last night for my Celtics, only to realize ABC isn't included.

Other than TiVo, what options do I have for recording OTA programs? I've been playing with Plex and rip my episodal DVDs, and would like to record, too.

First post here, might as well kick it off with a reason to cut the cords. 😃
