DirecTV to Acquire Dish and Sling TV…

[d.kaufman]

Ooh, it has Pawn Stars, American Pickers and Swamp People... those are the 3 main shows I watch on History. That's encouraging.

Did you see Frank Fritz died? I loved watching American pickers

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Have youtubeTV at work

Dang, and people say .gov workers have it good! I can't even INGO or watch youtube videos at work!

Samsung in the living room ("smart" I think), Vizio on the deck and in 1 bedroom, and LG in the other bedroom.

If you download local TV apps, you can watch local news during.....oh wait we did that routine already!

No! I knew he had lost a bunch of weight and wasn't looking too healthy, but didn't know he had died.

 

[JCSR]

So you say. Have youtubeTV at work and DirecTVstream. I will be keeping my DirecTVstream.

Yeah. Celebs have been dropping in a high frequency here lately

I have had TV at work since 2001! It's considered essential for news and weather

But it also works for sports and old clint Eastwood moves.....

dont tell anyone.

See, once I add that, plus whatever I need to add to get TBS and a few other channels, the savings isn't worth the loss of convenience to me.

I get free locals with an antenna. Bunch of channels. I guess I am not tied to a tv.

 

[loudgroove]

Do they come with "packages" of programming, or is everything a la carte? I really don't have all that many channels that I watch on a regular basis, but DoggyMama does. One of the things that irritates me about Xfinity is that because of a couple of channels (like History for example), I have to get a higher tier package in order to get it. I don't have any "premium" channels like HBO or anything like that, but I have to pay more for what I consider basic channels just because the next lower tier doesn't include it. So is it conceivable that once I get all the subscriptions to include the channels I want, the cost would be approaching what I pay for cable?

On Roku there is an app called Pluto tv. I hardly watch it as I have Fubo, But there's lots of channels on it.

 

[Flingarrows]

Roku doesn't have TBS, so that would require another app? Does it have live local tv? Not seeing it on that link.

We stream now. Ditched dish tv. For local stations, we bought an indoor antenna. It’s flat, and about 8”x12”, so it is sitting behind the tv

Any of you guys use Philo? I think I am gonna try it and ditch my DirectTV from ATT. I recently switched from Xfinity to ATT, I love the internet but hate the Direct and cell service from ATT. Think I may cancel the Direct and try the streaming, but I am using the 7 day free trial to see if I like Philo before I start paying them $28 a month. I am so dumb on this stuff....but the way I understand it is my DirectTv is streaming as well. Is that correct?

We’ve had it for a couple years now. I think the channel guide and navigation is clunky, but aside from that, it has all the channels we liked on directv and it’s a fraction of the cost. The only reason we got it initially was because at the time, it was one of the few options to watch On patrol live, but after having it a while, we realized we had been way overpaying for satellite.

I have it as well. Originally bought it for Reelz so I could watch OP Live. We ended up dumping Hulu Live as it was nearly four times the price.

 

[COOPADUP]

Hulu has become very greedy. Probably a result with teaming up with Disney.
I recently bought a couple of coaxial antennas and now have all the live free channels.
Unfortunately, we at a time where an annual assessment of streaming services will just become the norm.
