TV and random pics


At the beginning of the year, I was fed up with the cable service (the lack of decent service.) Plus the bill was outrageous! So I turned in the dvr and turned off the tv. Instead, I bought Apple TV. I was a little nervous about whether it would work or not. We've had some hits and misses. 
Misses
1-Hulu stunk. The same commercial 3 times in one episode? No, thanks.
2-iTunes had an issue one day and sold us corrupted episodes. After, hours of my time, I barely got the 10 free tv shows. Who puts somebody on hold for 40 minutes and doesn't check on you every 5 or 10 minutes? Apple customer service does.
3-The stupid box has to be reset regularly. It's annoying but it gets back to working in a few minutes of the reset.
Hits
1-HBO. It is awesome and we are getting into Game of Thrones. Now I'm a TV snob too. 
2-No commercials. Fox throws a bunch of previews for their other shows at the beginning of an episode but that's forgivable. All other TV shows are enjoyed without interruption. Love it! 
3-I never miss an episode. When I buy the season, the newest pops up automatically.
4-I can watch my shows. Exactly what I want to watch. This means less hunting around trying to find something.
5-YouTube is great on Apple TV too. 
I made a crown of mustard on my burger in honor of Game of Thrones. Haha! As you can tell, there's more hits than misses. I don't have to worry about missing out on the severe weather. My iPad has apps for that. I'll call this experiment a success. Now I just wanted to get into Netflix too but Blue is skeptical since Hulu was such a disaster. 
My shows
Naked and Afraid, Dual Survival, Mythbusters, Hell's Kitchen, Rediculousness, Pawn Stars, Game of Thrones
Do you have Apple TV? What shows do you watch? I'm up to season 2 on Game of Thrones! I won't be looking for any spoilers but I will get caught up.
