I'm currently paying $8 for Netflix and...that's it. I used to pay $100/month

for HD Dish in four rooms, and I finally pulled the plug a year ago. Love it. My HD antennas give me live TV on 30 channels, and when a game comes on that I'd really like to see that I can't get at home, I head for a friend's house and make a party of it.

Yeah, at this point, I really can't see myself ever going back to pay TV.

You can get a good cfinity deal for 99 right now. 140 plus channels

He could get a much better deal on internet as well but based on paying 200+ for

I've done that game before...and I'm kind of tired of it.

Adrielle

Is 34.99 that much different than what you paid for satellite?

8/31/16 9:58am

The comparable package I could find with comcast was advertised at about 90

concolor couguar

8/31/16 10:06am

So Comcast kinda sucks then

8/31/16 10:08am

No doubt about that. The problem with going satellite is their internet partner

concolor couguar

8/31/16 10:10am

Yep. Comcast still does not include HD in their advertised prices.

If you want to watch on more than 1 tv, you are going to save quite a bit by

I just looked at DTV...cheapest plan is $50 per month on a promotional price

I am sure he got it down by threatening to cancel or something

concolor couguar

8/31/16 10:12am

And part of the reason that so many are cutting the cord is the games

mobius

8/31/16 10:18am

Yeah, I just called at the end of my contract and they always made me a deal

8/31/16 10:20am

It certainly doesnt cut it out unless you arent a basketball fan

concolor couguar

8/31/16 10:23am

$34.99 is substantially less than what I was paying and no contract

mobius

8/31/16 10:23am

I can see the appeal of no contract

8/31/16 10:30am

If you want to cancel it for months at a time it is.

cougaman

8/31/16 10:49am

so you're paying the same as me for less...awesome

He should be getting SECN NBCSN + BTN. Does 60 include your receivers?

concolor couguar

8/31/16 10:08am

But you only have one receiver. That doesn't work for most people.

cracka

8/31/16 10:09am

why? if you can stream to any device what's the big difference?

nashty

8/31/16 10:15am

Cause watching on a big screen is better?

concolor couguar

8/31/16 10:18am

i agree. but since we're not comparing price options between a person with

nashty

8/31/16 10:20am

does dishanywhere work with Roku now? I think the cost of extra receivers is

concolor couguar

Did he say he only needed 1 it for one tv and other devices? Also, you can only

$30.00 is because I'm renting my modem, and paying for two receivers..

How does the DVR feature work? And is there something like that available on

cougschwa

8/31/16 10:50am

Vue... Allows to to DVR any of your channels. But it's a little clunky

Adrielle

8/31/16 11:35am

Can you DVR your local CBS?

concolor couguar

8/31/16 12:06pm

I think so... Not positive.. Well check

Adrielle

I think cord cutting is great. There were a few things I didn't love and so

Who was your ISP?

Adrielle

Cable One. 300GB for $55/month. Got bumped up to 500GB plan at $80/month

Comcast/Xfinity has a 1 terabyte cap before overages kick in.

I'm in rural AZ, not many ISPs down here.
