We run firestick streaming off the internet. Netflix also. You can stream dish anywhere through firestick if you know someone with a dish network account that will let you. My parents 5 miles away have dish and I stream the anywhere app at my house which is nice. Streaming/internet t.v seems the way of the future Dish and Direct I'd say are hurting..

I just turned mine off. All of it. Came home one day and my bride had it back on. Some fights aint worth winning. So not only do I not watch TV I don't look at the bill either.

We turned in our directv equipment December 21 and have not missed it. I get my news from radio and internet. I decided I really didn't care who won any of the ballgames i watched, and I'm sure my blood pressure is better by not watching liberal news castors. Now I watch trapping on YouTube and read trappers every night. Also get some good reading done. I believe my time is better spent now.
Forgiveness is just a prayer away.

I am 40+ miles from a TV station. I have a large antenna in my attic and get several HD channels for free. Netflix is my only monthly bill
No cable or direct tv bills is great!!

It was hard getting Direct TV to understand on the phone that no means no, no 12 month offer with a reduced price or a crappier low end package. Just Turn me off before my next bill. Scott I dropped them a couple years ago for the same reason and I am still getting letters from them to come back. They use plain envelopes to trick you into opening them. Like that is going to work. Lol I want the small black and white small tv back with the rabbit ear antennae. My grand kids can do what I had to do and stand by the tv holding the Reynolds wrap on the ears. Lol

Looking into an antenna for local TV channels. I currently have DirecTV. Using a locator program I find the transmitter directions in degrees (magnetic north) for ABC and CBS is 308 while NBC is 159. ABC & CBS transmitters are 18 miles away. NBC is 26.5 miles. So they are pretty close but direction-wise they are 149 degrees apart. I see there is a LAVA brand Omni-direction antenna, but its reviews are marginal. Using 2 antennas and splitting signal to 3 TVs looks complicated. Any suggestions?
