Been almost a week now, and I am satisfied, this ie exactly what I wanted. I have basic cable channels again (dumped DTV a cpl monts ago). Picture quality is acceptable to me. Also found that I am watching OTA channels about half the time anyway (I get like 40 if you exclude the religious ones).
Rural area, Inrernet is off my phone with Verizon unlimited, plan, so streaming abilities are limited, due to tethering data cap.
I hope this service succeeds, sure there are alot of people like me that would find it a good alternative to overpriced Directv.
