I pay $43 per month for the Dish Welcome pack. I have a TiVo for locals. I pay Cox $83.99 per month for internet and have Amazon Prime ($120 per year) and UP thru Prime for $5.95 per month. My Dish is much cheaper than streaming.
I’m doing the same with Directv . Will be streaming cable channels 60 for $20 a month with Philo TV and locals via outdoor antenna.My local coop phone Co. is running fiber down my road and the installers said it should be getting hooked up in the next week or so, as soon as my Dish contract is up, i will be pulling the plug and going streaming, for a lot less money, with no "total signal loss" messages anymore, and no QVC or garbage channels. I think that rural fiber will make satellite service obsolete in the next few years.
With a Tablo you can do all that and more, guide is 2 weeks, commercial skip, DVR everything that is available to get OTA and the biggest is every TV in the House can pick up the Tablo as long as you have a streaming box hooked up to that TV, no more box fees.And by the way, I get all my locals including subchannels too, since I get them through a $30 OTA dongle on my H3. If you go OTA only, you may or may not have them DVR'd and you may or may not be able to skip commercials, and you may or my not have an adequate guide that goes out 9 days. Just saying.
Mbps. Capitalization matters folks, because 200 mbps means... well it is slower than 1 baud where a baud is equal to something like a watt per cubic slug or something. m = milli or micro, M = mega. b = bit, B = byte.it is a user owned coop, no data caps, 200mbs speed,
Gaining fiber provides many more options, which is great.I can get any movie on streaming services, my outside antenna gives me my locals with ALL of their sub channels, Discovery plus has about 90% of what i watch, i have a Firestick, free Apple TV for a year, my TV bill will go down by over $100 per month.

That May or May Not be the only cut ...
There are no service providers..you buy directly from the sourceAs noted above the cost of stream has gone up especially if you can't everything you may want from one service. Also check if your data has any caps, we used to have unlimited and then put a cap on it. It wasn't an issue but if we were streaming all of our content it would have been. I'm no dish fan boy but compared to other services I have had they are one of the better IMO all things considered.

Mine does, the standard 1.2tb, but even having been all streaming for 3 years now, we have only gone over a couple of times, and have never paid for it.I guess most of you that stream don't have Caps on your broadband?
Dish does have a great DVR.Dish has the most elegant offering and best DVR. If you can't afford it then good luck elsewhere
I don't and I have Spectrum Cable for internet. They went up $5.00 a month but we went from 100mpbs to 200 mpbs. So it was worth the price hike to double the speeds.I guess most of you that stream don't have Caps on your broadband?
I have never had a Dish DVR because with on demand there is no need to record and streaming is the same deal, I could care less about the NFL,NBA,MLB etc.I'm considering getting Tablo. I've discovered that the three Smart TVs I have in the house can all download the Tablo app so I just need the receiver/DVR. The expense of the box, though, seems steep. My other option is to see if I can get just locals from Dish (and nothing else). I have a lot of recordings that I will lose if I cancel altogether. Oh well.
I have a Dish DVR and stream and like having both. Both have positives and negatives. I especially like the skip forward/backward feature on the DVR. Granted most streamed programming is commercial free, but when not, you HAVE to watch the commercials. And the skip back feature for streaming is just clunky (to me), so much so that I rarely use itI have never had a Dish DVR because with on demand there is no need to record and streaming is the same deal, I could care less about the NFL,NBA,MLB etc.
Can you explain why that is that much of an improvement? Do people really use their guide to figure out what they want to watch multiple days in advance? I truly don't get it. I use the guide to see what's coming up in the next hour or so, maybe 3-4, but that's rare.you may or my not have an adequate guide that goes out 9 days
