Turned off the satellite dish in 2008 ... I vote with my dollars as well when possible. Nothing but presstitional trash pushed by polidiots an their handlers.
Doom on em.... My opinion.
I am considering dropping the Sat, but convincing the wife is a horse of a different color.
I discovered “Flingo” recently, it allows most any free movie or video on the web to be shown on a smart TV set with “Web Videos” app. For instance, if you can veiw it on Youtube, you can fling it to the TV. “Talvisota - The Winter War (English subtitles) “ is an excellent free full length movie about the Russian/Finish 1939 Winter war, good on the monitor, but much better on the wide screen TV.
Warning, gory and bloody.
