    DIRECTV Satellite is not currently available for new customers in your area

    Yep. Most folks in my neck of the woods switched to Starlink a few years ago. Then Spectrum Fiber expanded to this area and now even the Starlink dishys are disappearing. I'm one of the few hold outs as I kept my Starlink equipment as a fail over to Spectrum, which experiences frequent outages...

    Echostar prepares potential bankruptcy filing

    True. There is so much content these days but very little of it catches my interest.

    Echostar prepares potential bankruptcy filing

    Did I ever state I hated Dish? I was a Dish customer for nearly 15 years and was very satisfied with the service. I only cancelled when I got in on the Starlink beta and realized I didn't need Dish anymore.

    My neighbor has no interest in the internet. We got Spectrum fiber in our neck of the woods last year and he only had it for a few months before he cancelled.

    Correct. He's really only interested in the major network stations and a few of their sub channels.

    He's fortunate in that he can point the antenna between 2 hillsides directly to a repeater tower 40 miles away. I am not so fortunate due to the location of my home.

    Echostar prepares potential bankruptcy filing

    My 82 year old neighbor got fed up with the high cost of everything. He cancelled Dish and his Spectrum internet and put up a Televes antenna on his roof that gives him about 50 channels. His monthly cost for entertainment? A grand total of zero dollars.

    Both DTV and Dish are bleeding customers and cash. I don't see how either will be around in the next few years.

    There are dozens of other MVNOs that offer way better value than Boost.

    TV streaming box - best ones?

    I've had an Nvidia Shield Pro since it launched in 2019 and it's hands down the best streaming device I've ever owned. Still as fast and snappy today as it was when it was new.

    Question about the Zapperbox

    I think I'm going to reset the box to factory settings when I get home. It is connected to the internet but it keeps telling me it's not when I check for an update.
