Cord-cutting, or at least the speed at which people are ditching pay TV, is on track to be the biggest upset of the year. There’s finally a collection of cheap-ish streaming services widely available, and as you’d imagine, people are jumping ship from cable as fast as humanly possible.

Actually, I put an old antenna up on a lark and discovered I receive the digital signal surprisingly well. I then bought a fringe antenna with a preamp and now get over a dozen decent American channels out of 33.
I am receiving a clear and dropout free CBS station 90 miles away, what I do not receive is the one old analog station 27 miles away.
Digital can be locked onto with a modern reciever quite well.
Yep, and stations went to the test pattern at midnight. And Harriet made Ozzie a sandwich. And everyone got more sleep.
we get no premium movie channels or sports channels or music or anything just the basic channels extended- and with phone and Internet we’re paying almost $200 a month now- a year ago it was $120
What is amazon firestick?
[[Try to negotiate with your provider.]]
Yup- we’re going to have to- (We did once before- gonna have to again though- the price is just getting way too high)
We do bundle- phone, Internet, tv for almost $200 p/m (no premium movie channels, or sports or music - just basic extended- folks like fox news and turner classic movies)
That works out to almost $70 per service- We started off at about $40 per- it’s just shocking that each service went up $30 in about a year- when we didn’t add anything to them-
When you call a Customer Service Line, you can request to be transferred to a U.S. Based Representative.
Works for Amazon and probably many others.
Real bummer is that where I hang my hat for work now, OTA is basically non-existent. At home in Chesapeake we get ~38 channels; up here in Sterling, 4, none of which are worth keeping the antenna hooked up.. We are in a little valley, though. I’m getting along fine with Sling and Netflix and my BRD player.

Verizon Fios was great! WAS! Then they sold to Frontier and they are awful! Every month I had to call and complain about my bill where they had added services without my approval. $9.99 for 3 way calling. $9.99 for call forwarding. $9.99 for call mailbox. Said I was good to update my internet speed at no charge. Service dude shows up says he has to run a new line for the faster speed. I declined. Next day another guy shows up to run a new line. Again I declined. Bill comes in...I am billed for 2 service calls! Switched providers.
I always check the car before paying and give the dealer a choice of removing their ads or drop the price or pay me monthly for being a traveling ad for them.
We live in a ‘dead zone’. If you look at a map of Western Pa, and see one of those very few little ‘no reception’ circles - that’s us, right in the middle. We have tv and phone (Ooma) through the internet.
