Whats the advantage of buying a box ?

Charleshell, I kinda agree with cditty. That’s the way things are going nowadays. Comcast gave me a 2 year deal with gig internet that was hard to pass up. I miss my Hopper. But nowadays you gotta have internet. And it looks like the Pig is gonna win. Dish made no attempt to retain me. High...

What I was trying to say was most people in my age group don’t care about internet on their phones. They “me” can barely see the buttons. Some still have flip phones. All they “we” care about is being able to have a clear conversation.

Will 5 G make everyone eventually buy new phones? I was mad as hell when they shut down my Analog Company vehicles cell phone. It was like talking on a land line. There was no saying “huh”, “what”.

^ Yep. I think it also is keeping our college graduate son from moving out.

POTS are what my wife cooks in. :)

Agree Quad 6 is not needed unless you absolutely need it. Great you are putting 2 cat and RG connections at each location. My RF Hopper remote worked quite well thru walls. Cant tell you a distance. Do you really need a fireplace in Florida? Most people up here in Pa. barely use them. A TV...

I have a Comcast X1 box. It does not have 5.1 audio on its Netflix App. My LG OLED does do 5.1with Netflix. The picture is also better than Comcasts. I am using ARC.

Have someone that knows what they’re doing check your receptacles wiring.

Went to cable about 2 years ago because of bundle deal. Still miss the Hopper. One thing I don’t miss is the contract disputes Dish has with content providers.

^ I think before HBO there was a channel called HHT. (Hollywood Home Theater). Our cable company either dropped it or it became HBO. It was like wow back then. You could see Boobies on your TV !

Some people with new builds seem to think they don’t need coax anymore. Could never figure that one out.

My My download speed usually is 400 to 500. It sometimes hits the 900 range. The upload is always in the low 40’s.

I recently got a 1 gig service. A bundle deal thru Comcast. I see no difference in speed compared to my old internet speed. My old speed was 25 down and 7 up.

I believe you have to have internet for the voice remote to work. My friend recently got Dish and his don’t work.

I haven’t bought any RG-6 for a long time. But like what the Mack stated, it’s probably all 3 gig rated now. The last time I bought some, the center conductor was pure copper. (Belden) which I personally prefer. But copper clad aluminum (CCA) is fine also.

3 gig tested. Older wirer [RG-6} will work fine also. But the installers are trained to say you need 3 gig tested cable

The average consumer don't care about 4K and HDR. Things are getting too complicated and more expensive anymore. Just hope the FCC don't let OTA disappear someday.

I wonder if they will give david jr the deal instantly or make him wait a while like they used to do to me.

I enjoy Sirius in my car. I like the ability to change to different eras and types of music. Also they're is the commentary I enjoy. Sure, I can play cd's or stuff on my thumb drive, but there's something about the radio I prefer. Now the cost. 25$ for 6 months. I am one of those customers who...

Miss my Hopper,but I also need Internet. Comcast gave me a deal for internet and tv that it was a no brainer for me not to take it. And Dish didn't even offer me any kind of deal to stay. I was a high paying customer for years and never late on payments.

RG-59 Will work just as good as 6 in home installations. It's the cable and satellite companies that tell you that you need 6 sweep rated at 3 gig. Half my home is wired with RG-6 that is 25 + years old. Not 3 gig rated. Why did I use 6? Cause it was free at the time. Back then most homes were...

Some of my thoughts about RG cable. RG-11 would be a gross overkill for home use. The recommended RG-6 from Monoprice is copper clad steel, not a solid copper center, if that matters or not to you. It's also quad shield, which is more difficult to work with and not needed for most home use...

And a spelling app

Thinking that there should be another phrase for "Cutting the Cord". When you have streaming services, there is still a "Cord". My cord was costing 70$ a month for 25 meg service. And I remember when Comcast throttled Netflix's speed. There was a low def picture and no Dolby Digital audio...
