Originally had Directv, but after several years, cut the cord and went OTA. That lasted probably a year or two. Went back to Directv (had a receiver already, back in the day they weren't complicated and paying for one was doable, that receiver had 5.1, though Directv Programming didn't have much 5.1 to offer) and then signed up with Dish. Dish rocks. While their channel contract interruptions were legendary and threads on ESPN contract deals lasted as long as glaciation periods, Dish allowed me to go off the beaten path to get the absolute right package or supplement of packages to save money. With how the media world is today and how access to programming has expanded, Cable/Sat distribution, where fiber access is readily available, is becoming obsolete and I can't justify the cost, as competitive as it was.
Called it in, they tried hard to hold on, about $50 a month or half off my bill. But ultimately, with Sling's new per day option, I can get three or four days for live football for $15 / $20 a month, if I have to do that.
So with the HDHomerun performing admirably for the locals, it is time call it a day. But I part with Dish as friends. This is simply business. We'll always have Sling... as a backup.
I appreciate all the help from the board that has saved me real money (most boards can't say that) and periodic technical help. A really good combo.
