All Things: Streaming TV Options

Anyone watching Pennyworth?

I actually wish it wasn't about alfred from batman as I'm having trouble seeing him morph into the butler. But otherwise this show is very british, and very flippin fantastic.
 
What is Locast and why is it being sued by the Big Four broadcasters?

Locast is a nonprofit organization created in 2018 that redistributes terrestrial over-the-air TV broadcasts online. The service is free, though the group’s website is set up to take donations. At the moment, Locast only operates in the U.S., and only in select cities. Locast is operated by Sports Fans Coalition NY, and its founder is David Goodfriend, a lawyer and former executive at satellite TV provider Dish Network.

I decided to try this out since I no longer have cable/satellite/streaming services (I have Netflix, Amazon Prime etc.). I just wanted local news or something in the background. It is free but they bug you constantly to donate and cut you off after 10 minutes so have to click on the program again. It is a $5.00/mo donation but I am being charged $5.50/mo (service fee?). Picture quality is HD. The guide kind of sucks but might be related to the device. If you start watching a program at 10:30 and then close the app. You come back at 11:30 and the guide is still showing the 10:30 listings because the app hasn’t been refreshed. Kind of irritating. I like that it also shows the sub channels which many channels show all the old programs. I don’t use it much so my standards aren’t high with it. It gets the job done for me. I’ll keep it for a bit but since the networks are suing them, who knows how long it will stay. Available on Android, iOS and many devices.
 
OK, I got a question: Does anyone know the difference between NHL.TV and NHL Live?

I've got COX Cable that gets me the Kings games. But I was hoping to get the NHL Network some way that I didn't have to buy the extra cable package....with a whole bunch of other crap I don't know. NHL.TV and NHLLive seem good but I don't think you can stream NHL network.

Any help would be apprectiated.
