Cable cutters, rejoice

If you have Internet, Sling Blue is $42.80 which has USA & FS1. I get whole bunch of locals OTA so then you can use AirTV 2 to combine everything into the Sling menu. I thought the AirTv was worth it at the time but don't remember exactly why.

The no OTA for some of you sucks. In that situation pay or leave I guess.

Maybe should add don't watch any stick & ball sports.

I’m one more price increase away from dusting off my DVD player.

Do you get CW too?

There's nothing new about folks in the sticks being unable to pull in an OTA signal. Paying for satellite has long been their only option. Streaming gives them another option but they still have to paay somebody or do without. I wouldn't expect the situation to surprise them much.

Think get it OTA? Not sure. Don't have Sling right now. After the election couldn't bare to watch any news. Plus since doing dental & vision stuff hanging on to cash. I'll restart it in Feb maybe.

I pay for Prime with extra $2.99 no adds (but get poor people discount on Prime) & YouTube Premium. I spend at least 10 hrs day on YouTube. Currently bingeing House on Prime.
 
I don't know. I'm about to put my years of being a customer to the test.
During Covid signed up for AT&T el-cheapo Internetz. 15 bucks month. After 10 days realized it was worthless. Trying to cancel took me to three different AT&T locations. Last charged me an additional 15 bucks (I'd prepaid for first month) and took the hardware. Done and dusted.

Nope.

Three months later get mail from collection agency for $66.40? I'm always suspicious of this stuff. Used to be, they send one of these letters that says, PAY THIS AMOUNT & WE ALL DONE but nope. You just acknowledged "a debt" and they then start whatever "contract" they think you signed all over again. Just a never ending belt.

So...still "owe them" $66.40. They'll have to get it from my estate. Will NEVER do any business with AT & T again. Forgot about pervious/similar experience with their DSL 20 years ago. Bastards they are.

Took me three months to get rid of those AT&T blood suckers. They wouldn't shut the phone off after repeated calls.
 
Why does cable TV still exist ...
It doesn't require learning new skills or technologies.
You can call the company and they'll come out for installation and troubleshooting.
For some, the signal is more reliable than streaming.
Inertia.
It doesn't generate surprised squawking when the rates go up.

But you knew most of these already.
