1 - No internet, no TV. And no internet is a common malady around here.
2 - Generator. Always have TV.
3 - I can feed my 11 TV's with one Hopper 3 component output. No need for sticks all around the house each needing their own fast connection and none of them synced.
4 - Auto-Hop works the next day here on NBC and ABC. Doesn't really matter to me as I usually always have shows backed up so I almost always have Auto-Hop.
5 - No fast internet available here, period. And I've never seen or heard of a 4G unlimited package that will do what half of what you're bragging about. When they say unlimited they really mean you can use about 20gigs then it gets very slow. And 99% availability is not the case at all around here. In fact that rates another

. 5G is a non starter out in the country because of the very limited range and LEO I will believe when I see. Just last year Viasat was promising a revolution in satellite internet with their new Viasat 2 satellite. Since then their plans have become more restrictive and more expensive.
6 - Satellite TV will be around for a long, long time in one form or another. No matter what the spin is that's the fact. It's still one of the cheapest forms of entertainment available for the masses. Why do you think you see all those satellite dishes in the middle of cities where they have cable and fast internet already.
To each their own is right, that's the one thing we can agree on.
