Actually, that would be WAY more expensive.

When they do stupid thing..new solutions emerge...somebody has a new browser that PAYS you for the personal information it collects from cookies etc...that would be a smart direction for streaming

It also works as a stand-alone search page. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to avoid being tracked by Google.

Doesn’t matter. Realize it or not, we have al already been assimilated.

Not just yet. You can still avoid it. I highly recommend everyone watch "The Social Dilemma" on Netflix about these very topics.

That is my ‘lazy viewing.’

Right now, I am half paying attention to the Roy Clark episode of the Muppet Show on Disney+. I’ll let it go to the next episode, which I think is Gilda Radner. I will probably swap over to LA Galaxy v Red Bull NY at 5:30.

I really don’t want to put on CNN or other news network... too heavy. I’m done with competitive cooking, home Reno, or House Hunters. But, there are a number of things I can let run as background noise.

The free Pluto TV app is good for channel surfing and background noise.

High prices...low content

I don't see much price difference between DISH and DirecTV. Or in content either.

Dtv has sports..look closer.lol.....they both lost about the same percentage of customers...dish is much smaller

 

[MitchDeerfield]

they both lost about the same percentage of customers..

False. DTV isn't 2.7 times the size of Dish. Excuses, excuses.

Comcast has many more customers than DTV but also lost fewer subscribers.

Just the way it is

What about DuckDuckGo . That’s a good safe and secure. No tracking
