If or when I get high speed internet I am thinking about canceling Dish and start streaming. I am paying $115 a month for Dish and my contract runs out in about 7 months. I am paying for a lot of channels I do not watch. I have Paramount + already.
I have an antenna that I can get my locals on. I would want 4k picture quality if possible, but having HD is a must. Some of the main channels we watch are Lifetime, HGTV, Hallmark, Uptv, USA, WGN, FX, POP, Syfy, Cook, TNT, TBS, CMT, Travel, Newsnation and ION,

Just FYI, I don't think there are any streaming cable TV services that offer ION but you can probably get that with an OTA antenna for free. YouTube TV is a good service for $65/mo but it lacks a few other channels on your list: Lifetime, Cooking Channel and UpTV, although the others you list are available. As for WGN, that's purely a Chicago local channel now. You might get WGN on YouTube TV if you live in the Chicago area, I don't know. You may end up needing to subscribe to both YouTube TV ($65) plus Frndly TV ($8) since Frndly TV offers a few channels that YouTube TV lacks, like Lifetime, History, A&E, UpTV, INSP, MeTV, H&I, etc.
You might want to use this website to help you figure out which cable TV service will be best for you. Enter your zip code and then pick your "must-have" channels and it'll show you which services offer those channels and how much they cost.
Suppose... you could design your perfect TV service
Suppose lets you select your favorite TV channels, searches billions of combinations of cable, satellite and streaming TV services, and finds the best for you.

But all of this depends on getting faster internet service to be able to stream. I tried to stream Seal Team four times last week and finally gave up.
Frndly TV looks to be my best option for me. I can change my Dish programming from the Top 200 to the Top 120 + the Heartland pack and cut my bill $19 plus canceling the locals would save another $12 a month. I have an OTA antenna to use for these. My only concern with Frndly TV is the picture and audio quality. I already have Paramount + and Amazon Prime.You might want to use this website to help you figure out which cable TV service will be best for you.

Our LG TV has the Pluto service available in WebOS along with many others. We had heard good things about it and since it is free (with ads) we gave it a try. We found some very good channels available (at least for us
) and we have watched it quite a bit lately. The ads, at this point, are not overbearing either.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Wasn't exactly sure where to post this. Just had a customer come in inquiring about internet. He has HughesNet and had heard good things about mine. He asked if we provided email addresses and it kinda caught me off guard. I said he should be able to keep whatever email he had been using....my sister in law is still using a BellSouth email addy and they haven't been around here for many years. He said he had gotten a letter from HughesNet stating that they had until Nov 16th to save, move, forward, whatever, their Hughesnet emails because they would lose them after that date.
I have never heard of a company simply mass-deleting email accounts (the customer still has his HughesNet service). From what I understand, in the past, the company who was ditching their email service simply sold the customer base to a company like Google.
Anyone else getting this letter. He said he would show it to me tomorrow when I go out there and set up his internet.

This thread is a place to discuss the 4K events that appear on channel 540. We are getting, at this point, one college football game a week. Let's hope there is more coming.

Hmmm, I'm not seeing anything like those events in our Hopper 3 guide for tonight or Saturday.
I went into the Tools menu and requested a Guide Update. I'll try looking at it after the update completes.
edit — I now have the 148-01 4KFox events for Saturday, but not anything for 148-02 or 148-03 which don't even show as available channels. I do have 148-04 4KUSA.
As I recall you have the Flex package. Do you sub to multisport? -02 is FS1 and -03 is ESPN. -01 is Fox so you would get that if you sub to locals.Hmmm, I'm not seeing anything like those events in our Hopper 3 guide for tonight or Saturday.

Apple has finally released their Apple TV 4K with built-in Siri and a microphone so it can respond to your queries even if you don't have the remote. It also increases in price, to $299. I had been planning on updating my current Apple TV 4K streamers, but that's $600 for the two of them, and that's a pass at this point.
At $299, it had better come with 256 GB of Storage, Gigabit (or better) Ethernet, the latest HDMI tech and standards, and one year of free Apple One. But it probably won't…
