Old Diamond P stuff on Roku!

[Straightliner59]

Recently, I decided that I could no longer afford nearly $300/month for cable. I switched over to straight internet, and bought a Roku stick for $29. I just happened to scroll down their "Live TV" menu, and came across an NHRA channel. I've seen a couple of cool interview segments, one with Snake and one with Force, but it' mostly just been old Diamond P coverage of events. I've seen the '76 Gators, so far now they're running the '92 North Stars, it's just all cool stuff, like that! I am sure I'm late to the party, but, just in case you hadn't seen it...

We cut the cord several years ago. I've tried FireTV and Roku and I prefer Roku. I also have an antenna in my attic to pickup all the broadcast channels.

We pick a streaming service to subscribe to and watch whatever we want to see, and then cancel and move to a different one. 

Of the free streaming channels, I like Tubi, Roku, Pluto, and Plex. Another free service is NewsOn. It allows you to see all the local news broadcasts for the last 3 to 4 days. 

I wouldn't go back to cable on a bet.

I use all three of those. Yeah, I can't see anymore need for cable. I do need to get an antenna, and I wouldn't mind having DVR, of some sort.

Antenna only for me. 1994 was the first acess I had to cable. It was great for the first decade had a dish for a few years also. Still like the Antenna better.

I've had a fire stick for 7 years at least. Just an Internet bill for me thank you. I e coaxed others to cut the cord and have been largely successful. If I show them what is possible they almost always make the switch. Plus, there are ways to get channels if you know what you're doing 😉. As for all the old Diamond P stuff? It's a treasure trove of all I crave in every way. I could watch nitro racing all day and be glued to every round.

I didn't use the name Dragline because I like fishing.

I'm so happy I did it! I'm saving nearly $200/mo. Currently, they're showing the 1963 Winternationals. I've barely taken it off the NHRA channel, since I found it!
