ATT/DirecTV joining the streaming market

sorry; forgot the OT:

hoping to phase out satellite within 3-5 years. I'm debating cutting the cord and trying Playstation Vue, but not getting the local channels is holding me up.

All you need is an indoor antenna for locals.

They've given up on u-verse, too...

Every time I call to see if they have any promotions, they say "Yes!! DirectTV!!"

I've been a subscriber for 8 years. They've always found me a better deal, but not anymore. I've had every piece of equipment they've given me replaced in the last 2 years. They aren't planning a future for it, which seems crazy.

If this product you speak of is NOT satellite, I might have to check it out when it comes around.

civil...when I put my address in here, it tells me I'll get 3 PBS channels. That is what keeps me from switching.

Cut the cord this weekend. We are using the antenna for OTA, an Amazon Fire TV for Vue and Apple TV 4 to run Netflix and all the other on demand apps. What is cool about Vue is that I was able to put all the network on demand apps on the Apple TV and authorize them with the Vue subscription including ESPN 3.

Yeah no ****. Thanks for being a loyal U-verse subscriber for 6 years, we no longer want to offer you support so you are forced to get Satellite.

I don't know how much attic space you have, but they make smaller long range atennas now if you wanted to take a look at those

Playstation Vue is great. I cut the cord 3 months ago and I love it.

So, what do you do if you have zero access to high speed internet? Will DISH be an option or do I go back to when I was a kid and had 3 TV stations over the air?

Living in Orlando, all I got was a $13 antenna from Family Dollar.

Works like a charm. Have to move it around sometimes, but it picked up 45 channels in clear HD.

If you live in a place like rural MS, this information is useless.

For the few of you who live in a metropolitan area, $13 at Family Dollar is a solid antenna.
