Dish TV has eliminated a number of stations (unfortunately, MSNBC was not one of them).
From their website:
"Our contract with Turner Networks (Turner) has expired and they have removed CNN, Cartoon Network, Boomerang, CNN en Español, Headline News, truTV, and Turner Classic Movies from DISH’s channel lineup
At DISH, we believe the customer should always come first. That’s why we work hard to bring you the best programming at a fair value. Learn more about our commitment to you."
Should I switch to DirectTV?
We have a ROKU. Best purchase we ever made.
Check my member date. Things were not so great in the Great White North in the late 90’s. Lots better now.
It would kill me to lose TCM
Cutting the cable and bringing down the satellite dish wouldn't wet my eye none.
Gutenberg and Archive also have enough free content to fill the available free time in anyone's life time, wherein no single individual can read more than about 20,000 books.
I do like TCM. The rest are just dog chit.
Switch to Direct TV and you’ll go through the same thing again very soon with them.
That is great news.
ATT won’t install U-verse in south Dade County.
Stuck with DSL at about 1 mb.
They still charge $39 though.
For that kind of money I should be getting 25-50 mb
You can stream barely at 1 mb but you wont get a decent HD quality picture.
Kinda like the Internet huh? LOL Seriously you can find good and bad on both. My Favorites as far as channels goes has about 5-6 networks programed in. My wifes TV has considerably more. It's he contact with the outside world and she is also an avid book reader something which I can't do anymore. One show a night maybe two generally does it for me. Seems small till I remember when I was six years old we had two TV stations and nothing else.
My choice is Direct which I use now. I've not had any issues with customer service and the last DISHNET system I had required 4 coax cables ran for two receivers due to a funky switching system from receivers to dish LNB. I also like DIRECTS programing choices better.
Per month
And I’m sure your one of the first on FR to talk about the intolerance of the left!
I believe that it is supported by the chum industry...That way if anybody complains about how disgusting chumming is as a job, then an industry rep can point at MSNBC and say, ‘At least it’s not MSNBC’...
If CNN was off DISH would anyone notice?
Well, we have Directv and it’s fine, even though we get price increases almost every year (same as with most things). If I had Dish, I would definitely switch, because no TruTV means no “Impractical Jokers.”
Yes, I admit it, I love the show. Sue me.
sounds like you made a good decision but who do you use for your internet provider? as I am under the impression you need an internet connection to use Roku. Internet can be very expensive too. :(
Had the same with ATT DSL.
NO! Are you seriously asking us if you should drop Dish, the only national company to offere TheBlaze, because they have dropped Ted Turner’s income stream?
Conservativism deserves your monetary support!
I have Comcast for my internet service. I pay 34.95 a month and get 30mb download speed with 6mb upload speed.
Yes we have two Roku devices which can stream simultaneously while our kids are on their gaming pC’s playing battlefield four at the same time and still have bandwidth to spare.
I’m usually listening to Spotify while all that’s going on. No hiccups in streaming anything.
