I don't understand why Amazon would drop Freebee as it is a great way for people to be introduced to Amazon Prime.

You can add Portland OR to the list now.

I watch You Tube a lot myself. You can almost everything on there.

D Dish & Cable are already planning (and have in some cases) switched to streaming. They see the handwriting on the wall probably more than we see it. Direct TV and well as Spectrum are moving to streaming. Direct (AT&T) said there are no more planned satellite launches. They are hoping that...

Depending on what you want. I have Sling after having Dish for nearly 25 years. I have Sling Blue and the adds on for only $61 a month. Being an old movie buff I have both FXM & TCM. After paying about $100 or more a month from Dish for years, this is better and we get locals OTA.

I mainly buy small items from Amazon, and often they are like used DVD's from 3rd party vendors that include shipping with their items. On occasion I buy a larger item, but they are over $35. So for me spending $140 a year, it is not worth it. I first signed up with Prime some years back when it...

We already have Movies!, as we have a Weigel LPTV here with all seven of the channels. With Circle going off we are going to get the Outlaw channel on 49.4. With Twist going away, I saw Tegna was experimenting with something else on 8.4, some Court/Law type show was on there. We already have...

I use Prime, but I can just put orders together to make the $35 for free shipping. It isn't worth the $139 and now another $36 a year to not get ads? Forget it. When I got Prime a few years ago it is well under $100.

I still have the old Tablo that doesn't have the fast channels. I will probably get the new one, if I can get guides for METV & METV+ and there is no cost for the guide. I paid up to next year for the guide with the old Tablo.

The OTA data has been terrible for years. Out here on the Oregon Coast, only one unit gives me most of the guides. It is the old Amazon Recast. We have 36 OTA offerings. I get good guides on 34. The only two missing are METV & METV+. I gave up on trying to get the guides and just added Frndly TV...

For years I have tried to find an alternative way (as a back up) to get Antenna TV & now Rewind. Nexstar has them both and as far as I know, they are only available OTA in most cases. There are a few cable companies that carry the local station. Here, we have both OTA, and that is the only way I...

I am finding channels like The FBI, Streets of SF, Perry Mason, Hawaii Five O, Ironsides, etc are free and enjoyable to watch. They are all free.

All of those channels need to become "Fast Channels" that are free. Most have ads anyway.

Tonight when I got home, I tried to update the Sling app to the Fire Stick. I went to Live TV as usual, clicked on the services to update. All worked out fine, except for Sling. The 600+ channels (Sling Blue+Free), will not add to the Fire TV guide tonight. I checked for an update, and the Fire...

Streaming is a lot less that sending those birds up and to keep them going. Plus with streaming, no up front cost with receivers, coax, installations, etc. Running a stream and using the Fire Stick or Roku is a inexpensive compared to the past.
