We had NBA TV until March 2020. At that time my then-employer switched to a work-from-home business model in response to COVID. But I had a lot of difficulty staying logged in to the company network. Spectrum told me, "That's because you are still on your old Time Warner bundle. You need to upgrade to the Spectrum bundle. You will have much faster internet, and you will have all the same channels you had with Time Warner. Plus, it will actually cost less!"

Well, surprise! When I "upgraded" we had much faster internet, which made it possible for me to stay employed. But we lost a lot of channels, including several like BeIn, which I used to watch every day. PLUS...cable now costs MORE each month. Life was better back when TV was free. We had only 3 channels and one phone company.

We hate Spectrum. Finding a new cable service is one of my planned projects for this winter. But I have been putting it off. Just trying to settle in with the more simple life of a retired person. I hate talking to cable TV companies, phone companies, insurance companies, doctors' offices, etc. It is much less stressful to sleep late, eat breakfast, go for a walk, and spend the rest of the day reading or studying chess.

My wife is the real NBA fanatic, and I keep asking her "Sweetie, don't you want to get NBA League Pass?" But she has become more thrifty since we retired. So, no NBA League Pass.
