Same with Cableone, in my area

No Network TV.

The War is well underway. Contract Dispute.

I'll wait it out.

 

[RivaDawg]

Fox is out for me. DIRECTV.

 

[WrapItDog]

No problems with my Directv in north landmass.

Hearst Television said Sunday its stations’ signals have been pulled from DirecTV after the two sides reached an impasse in retransmission negotiations. Hearst owns and operates local TV and radio stations in 26 markets across 39 states.

Playstation Vue subscription, HD Homerun Extend, Mohu Curve 50, Apple TV 4, Channels and Vue apps + hi speed internet

= no problems.

I've never understood

the draw to DIRECTV. I thought it's always sucked.

Does all that work if it rains?

Unfortunately for some of us who tailgate on campus, we need that DTV box to pick up the other games that are not on network tv. I also have an antenna for locals when tailgating but usually have trouble picking up Columbus or Greenwood stations. So, I pay for DTV at home to have the extra box for tailgating.

No problems. There are a few drawbacks but it is much cheaper and I don't have to search through a couple hundred channels to find what I want, or worry about contract negotiations. OTA locals are much better quality as well.

ETA: If you go with an indoor antenna go with Mohu.

NFL Sunday ticket. That is the only reason I'm with them.

If you're affected by it, call and get a discount for a few months. Should be able to get a $15/month credit or some free channels or something. We lost NBC / ABC back in August here in NE Miss. Forced me to go buy a $30 antenna and mount in my attic - which is actually nice to have now during stormy weather. And the discounts I got from directv more than paid for it.

Too bad the campus doesn't have wi-fi hotspots or else you could replace the dish with an Apple TV 4 and either use Playstation Vue or ESPN3. It WOULD have to be a high speed wifi.

Or if the network is strong enough and you have unlimited data, you could throw it from your phone or iPad.

I had wondered why DirectTV had been doing virtually nothing to upgrade their service over the last few years, but now I see it's because they're investing heavily in the new DirectTV Now service. My dad just had it set up at his house along with AT&T fiber internet, and the technician said that the satellite service will be essentially fazed out within the next 18 months.

I'm still sitting tight right now, but I could see myself going to that or PS Vue within the next year or so

nothing wrong today accessing and enjoying the games from my pirated streams. cut the cord.

Hell, I'd be happy if I could just get a text or two out during a big game. It's amazing to me that I have absolutely no issue pulling up websites or even video on other more heavily populated campuses, but I can't even pull up a score during a home State game. They've been talking about improvements to the mythical stadium cell data towers for years, but it still sucks on game day

The tech is full of ****. There are tons of people still in this country that have no access to cable tv or high speed internet. DTV announced earlier in the year that they would go to HD satellite only by 2019. That statement alone gets you past 18 months.

 

[The Peeper]

Antenna in the attic gets me all the networks and their sub channels free, Roku 2 box, 85 yr old mother in laws Comcast account log in (she doesnt use it) gets me ESPN, SEC, Comcast on Demand and most any other channel on Roku, Hulu free using Bing search engine, Netflix. Total cost $10.69/mo for tv and $60/mo for 60mbps internet.

The couple of Cowboys games from the reddit NFL stream links I have watched this year were in HD.
