Back in those days (actually a few years after) HDTV came out. I had to have one of the first HDTVs and it cost so much I'm too embarrassed to say how much.

Break from politics. DirecTV anyone?

get rid of it completely.

There is so much free content on the internet

And really cool and interesting stuff to LEARN especially.

I learned how to do my concrete, build an addition, install a septic system (saving $10,000) how to fix a headlight and a motorcycle.

I spent an entire evening watching GLASS BLOWING videos last week (again) - they are mesmerizing.

Get an Amazon Fire then get the direct TV App.....if you have ATT wireless they’ll charge you less than $15/mo with no contract...then you can get all the “cable” stations you want and not have to worry about storm fade-out outages...

I had to dump Directv, because of THEIR equipment changes.
I went to DISH and got what I wanted for a cheaper cost.
I haven't regretted it at all.

I called ATT/DirecTV and get no understanding at all.

Probably because the contact person is in Bangladesh or some other God-forsaken hole.

It’s one of those “features” that someone decided people needed.

You’re stuck

The list does go in order, from bottom to top. In other words the last one in the list was the first episode recorded, the next one up the 2nd episode recorded, and so on.

I have DishNetwork.

My main bitch is the recording ends a minute too soon. I have to set everything to record 2 minutes longer which interferes with other programs that are scheduled to start (start takes priority over ending)

Stupid DishNetwork.

Sorry to hijack your thread, back to you.

Right now Fox has a very strong nighttime lineup with
Tucker Carlson
Sean Hannity
Laura Ingraham

You can find Tucker and Sean on youtube live with the usual commercials. You can also find the previous nights shows on youtube.
So who needs cable TV where you are also paying the NFL too even if you don’t watch.
