Quite apt, given only two of them remained in the band after Siobhan Fahey left.

Have a critical life changing decision to make 
My tv reception has suddenly dropped out. Been working perfectly up until now. New antenna was installed late 2000s. Probably a loose connection on the antenna or cables somewhere. Affecting all channels. Given there are only a handful of shows i actually watch āliveā on FTA, am wondering whether itās worth the cost/bother to getting the antenna or cables replaced/repaired or do i just watch everything online. Do i cut the cord (or antenna) for good?? Big decision

You could try and see if you can live with the streaming option (given it would probably cost you nothing to set that up depending on how/where to you want to watch TV in your house), and if not, then get the antenna fixed?

We have Apple tv on the main TV and have all the networksā streaming apps there. It seems to work well. But itās just that sentimental connection to having TV via an antenna. Not sure Iām ready to cut it off but really thereās probably no reason to keep/fix it.
I agree, I donāt think I could ever ācutā the cord ā¦ also that I can get a few different versions of the commercial networks here (Newcastle, Central Coast, Sydney) with different news/ads etc, that gives me some more varietyā¦ And watching via a PVR makes it much easier to pause/rewind/fast forward live TV etc which gives me more flexibility there too.

I havenāt had a cord/antenna for about 4 years - donāt miss it.
Can stream live channels if needed.
Depends. Can you/do you want the advertising overload.
Secondly, can you handle watching stuff on streamers when they glitch out?
The problem though is if the internet goes out, how do you watch TV? 
Thatās where the cord/antenna comes in handy for local FTA reception.

I have heard this complaint from a few friends. When we had a series of severe storms with lightning strikes their modems were smashed and because of high demand, had to wait a few days for a replacement, so no TV for up to a week.
Have also heard the complaint that when a few people in the house are on multiple devices, the streaming struggles.

Probably no worse than the ads on broadcast.
Happens occasionally though tbh our internet/nbn is fairly steady. For the few shows we watch āliveā itās probably not an issue if the nbn drops out. Just watch it on catch up later
How slow is the speed? Mine is 350mbps and itās never an issue.
I have no idea what friends have. I donāt live stream myself. My only bad experience has been a few occasions where ABC iview or 10 play have struggled and got stuck or dropped out.
Well 10 play is a pile of shit it never works properly even with excellent speed

I thought Iād share this. 50 years ago yesterday I was at my first ever concert. I absolutely loved it. It was quite a weird feeling last night to know exactly where I was 50 years ago.

because I know youāre all dying to knowā¦ butā¦ the TV reception has cleared up! Which probably indicates a loose connection somewhere between the TV and the antenna on the roof. Will see how long it lasts before it goes off again
