    It may finally be time to say Good Bye

    Same thing here. I have 5 gb/s fiber (1 and 5 are the same price - at&t retiree) but my network is only 1 gb/s and I'm not maxing it out. I'm partial to Ethernet. When I start seeing problems I will upgrade my network. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    Are there any small TVs for ATSC 3.0?

    Am I correct in understanding that a box is required for each TV? Also are there any DVR capabilities - I can''t find it listed on the website

    You have a lot of people on your side. Better to not argue with one of the members. Everybody can have an opinion.

    Dish500_guy's Talk About It! Thread

    He's sorta fun, even though he has some old ideas. Here's a suggestion - set him to ignore. That way you won't be bothered.

    Echostar prepares potential bankruptcy filing

    Quoting the article you shared "FCC Chairman Brendan Carr is directing EchoStar to sell AWS-4 spectrum assets, holdings that happen to be coveted by Elon Musk's SpaceX, reports Bloomberg." Note the word directing. Hence the government is directing a private company what to do. If offering an...

    Echostar prepares potential bankruptcy filing

    It seems he has a valid point. Would seem it is no more political than your post.

    How things have changed

    I think one needs to look at the scope of the sports needs. To get complete access to all of the sports that one may want will probably require a multitude of streaming services. All in all the cumulative cost of these services may be greater than the cost of Paid Live TV. For example, let's...
