    Disillusioned tv streamer, and former DTV sat customer, has a question regarding equipment

    I was last a DirecTV satellite customer more than 10 years ago, and I am considering returning to the fold in the near future as I am disillusioned with streaming tv. I still have their satellite dish on my house. Would they reuse the dish as is, or will they replace it with a new model. Have...

    HBO Max/Discovery+ Merger

    Maybe the "+" will be used to distinguish the ad-free premium version from the "limited ads" version that they will no doubt offer.

    This is crazy

    I live in a rural area where we have recent access to spectrum gig, and AT&T's idea of competition for that is 12mbps or less. We're hoping that soon Starlink will be able to provide some actual competition to spectrum. I had AT&T 12mbps and Directv for two years but switched to a spectrum...

    Sinclair Launches Ad-Supported Streaming Service STIRR

    I’ve got it on my fire4k with my local cbs station in Deep South Texas. I just checked and they’ve also got on demand high school football games from high school teams around the country. I also found a nice cooking show featuring a lady named Amy from Wisconsin.

    Existing Customer Promotion

    If one still has a few months to go on their initial price lock contract, can one still call in to get another price lock contract before the coming price increases?

    Frustrated by numerous program guide issues

    I wasn’t able to record episodes 3 and 4 of pd cam last week even though it was the only show set to record at that time. Also, I had a recording of Justice league on hbo that was set to record overnight that was completely skipped over for no reason that I could determine.

    $10 HBO Ending ?

    I’m glad for all the competition to HBO that is available these days. You’re not forced to pay through the nose for HBO’s “premium” series unless you want to. Also, one can still get all the HBO content they want via other means if one knows where to go.

    Dish Install finally

    I live in the RGV in deep South Texas, and It hit north of us about 3 hours, or so, away. We just got a bit of rain and some gusty winds on Friday. I only have one TV. I had a 6 tuner dvr with spectrum, and I've gotten by with 4 tuner dvrs in the past. Are you saying that when the installer...
