QuoteMarkintosh Not mentioned here is YouTube TV, which we took on after dropping standard cable. Honestly we do not watch all that much network TV, mostly news at this point. At first it seemed like it might be cumbersome to run YTTV through the Apple TV box, but it's really not all that difficult.

People could purchase a digital version or a printed version. Once your book is on Amazon, you could become a customer and purchase two printed copies.

Our Smart Window shades decided to "leave" the network this week. A simple reset didn't fix it. So now I have to figure out I set it up previously and get it working again.

These are older, so you cant't just scan them with your phone and have it automatically ha
