As previously noted/anticipated, switched to a “dumb” computer monitor for the majority of my TV viewing time. The challenge was local news, and without a tuner card, seemed nearly impossible. XBMC (now kodi) offers several add-on’s, one named “Local Now” (you may be familiar with it).
Local Now, offers local newscasts from ocean to ocean in the US, plus more. And it’s great that it runs on xbmc/kodi, because it removes the need to set up a networked antenna, utilizing a networked tuner card. Or to be logged into an account.
Great commercial/advertising skipping, at times, also.
So what are we dealing with here (from an old backup, custom built computer)?
- An i5-10400 processor/UHD Graphics 630
- 16GB RAM
- 32 inch ProArt Monitor
- Edifier Bookshelf Speakers (these are great for media use)
This is wonderful. For a while I was missing my morning news with my coffee. Not any more.
