Making Your Computer Rock-Solid

If you are like me, you might rely heavily on your computer for work everyday. Unfortunately, if you haven't reinforced your system with security software and system updates, your computer might not last forever. A few years ago, I was plugging along when my computer completely died. After spending hundreds of dollars on manufacturer repairs, a friend of mine who worked in computer services taught me a few tips. I want to teach you to make your computer rock-solid, so that you don't have to deal with surprise system failures and annoying glitches. After all, nothing is worse than a computer with problems.

Why Cable TV Is Still Worth Having

With the trend of more people cutting the cord these days in favor of streaming services for their television fix, you may be wondering if it's worth having cable TV in your household. Here are some reasons why cable TV is still a good choice.

Live Sports

One area where many streaming providers are lacking is in their live sports offerings. While they may have plenty of your favorite shows on-demand, they don't have your favorite sports teams playing in real-time. This is a huge reason to go with a cable TV provider if you are a sports fanatic because sports are best viewed when they are live and you can watch the game play out with friends and family.

Local Channels

You'll also get access to all your local channels through your cable TV service provider. While it is true that you can also get these channels over the air with an antenna, this is not always an option for some people. For example, if you live in an apartment building or your unit faces the wrong direction, installing an antenna may not be an option for you. 

Current Shows

While it is possible to binge through shows on a streaming service, what happens when you're all caught up and you want to see the next episode? Cable TV gives you access to current shows so you can catch new episodes as they air for the first time. You'll be able to stay up to date with what's happening without worrying about avoiding spoilers until the show goes to another streaming service.

DVR Functionality

Don't like commercials? Then use a DVR to record your favorite shows and skip the commercials. You can even tune in on a delay so that you can skip past all of the commercials and still finish the show on time.

Streaming App Access

Know that a cable TV subscription is going to give you access to a variety of different apps associated with the channels that you subscribe to. This gives you features that you simply cannot get elsewhere if you love streaming. This includes being able to view live feeds of those channels on your phone, tablet, computer, or other devices that you use. You can even view on-demand programming that is current, so you can catch up on recently aired episodes that you may not have gotten around to watching yet.
