Same here with limited options. I'm thinking of just doing internet TV. Its not just cable and dish companies that do it. Everyone has the sweetheart deals for new customers but nothing for retaining customers unless you make a big stink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I looked into live streaming with Roku and Youtube tv but that comes with caveats too as far as what you could get for channels, Plus, you need to have devices equipped with the apps or you can use a stick, But the internet was still going to be the issue for me, Funny once i called direct to cancel the last thing the girl says to me if you ever want to come back we have some real good pkgs for returning customers, Where was that for the current ones?

We dumped our cable and land line last year and switched to youtube tv using a roku stick. Very happy with the change, and youtube tv has lots of channels. Also saving about $70 per month even though we bumped up to a higher internet speed. We added a wifi enhancer since the tv is a few rooms away from the router and that has really helped boost the signal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm big on sports and i don't remember which of the two it was but would not be able to get some of the channels i watch if i remember correctly, Should be able to eliminate a couple of the cable boxes by downloading the spectrum app and going Roku tv or the stick as well, I want to add another tv to a different part of the house and now will be able to stream to it without running cables.

The only reason I stay with DIRECTV is NFL Sunday Ticket and that was with the caveat of a healthy price discount on it. Since AT&T took over said discount is being greatly reduced or simply eliminated. I’ll make my yearly call to their retention Dept next week and see what happens. If unsatisfactory I will be out the door in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was with Dish for many years before switching to Directv, But was with direct for the last 10 or so, Not a lot of choices in the market up here where i am, In PWM a different story.

I’ll have to go back and check the coops but there were definitely some 39s up in Yellowstone. Overall it was just warm though. It was in the 80s every day except the last.
