SUMMARY:General Meeting - When did we get sold on paying for TV services? / January 13th / 6:30 pm
DESCRIPTION:Program: An Updated review on the Many Options for Cutting the Cable / By All of Us / \nYou may remember back in the early days of cable TV\, all of the major broadcast networks started a large campaign against the “evils” of Pay TV! The ads warned that once the monsters behind Pay TV services got their hooks into us\, we would be forced to pay for the programming we had always received for free. \nObviously\, Pay TV has since grown into a hybrid of cable and internet services that have taken over a huge part of the home entertainment industry to the point that we happily pay for programing\, and have largely forgotten that free broadcast TV still exists for free. \nNow days with an antenna and an OTA (Over The Air) DVR (Digital Video Recorder) you can even record and fast forward through commercials using your Apple TV remote. \nThere are savings to be had for your entertainment budget. Your best solution may be to add free TV options to your mix of cable TV\, internet streaming\, or satellite TV. Join us at our January meeting when we update our investigation of “cutting the cable.” \nJoin in the fun at our January 13th virtual meeting\, for cool ideas and camaraderie. \n  \nHow to Attend: \nSince the beginning of the COVID pandemic we have held our monthly General Meetings via the Zoom app. It has worked very well\, making attendance convenient for our growing number of members from outside the Portland area. \nPMUG will send out an email with an electronic invitation that will start a Zoom virtual meeting on your computer or iOS device. See the PMUG Zoom info page for more information. \nVisitors are always welcome:  Send a message via the Contact Us link below to get an invitation. \n  \n  \n  \nOrder of Business: \n6:30 PM — 7:30 PM:\nQ&A Session for Member Assistance \n7:30pm – 8:00 PM:\nPMUG Club Announcements  and Business \n8:00 – 9:00 PM:\nFeature Presentation
