I want free snow removal. Republicans are working on that with the climate change denying. Tough choice

Finally got around to calling wow about reducing my internet bill. I was actually paying more than their advertised non intro rate. Got it lowered from 50 to 20 so I guess I'm sticking with directv.

Got directv down to 80 from 122 for 12 months. Pain in the ass but worth it. Saving close to a grand between wow and directv and only locked in for a year.

OK, I finally had it with DirecTV. My main DVR box has been on the fritz. They wanted to charge me $20 to send in all the refurbished box. I asked for a free equipment upgrade and they said no, that would cost $200. Even the retention specialist could only give it to me for $100. If they think I'm going to spend $100 on equipment that they own to subscribe to their service when new customers get it for free, they can go love themselves (the Beib's, 2016).
So I tried to call Verizon as I already have Internet through them and found out that some company called Frontier bought Verizon's florida service. I spent 45 minutes on the phone with some Woman who barely spoke English who was only trying to find my previous Internet account. I realized that if it was this hard to set up TV with them, the customer service must even be worse and I said fuck it.
Looks like I'm just using my Apple TV for a while and I may get an antenna for local stations. Anyone have any other suggestions to add to my set up?

If you have a relative with a service and they don't mind if you have their password you can get everything they do. Whether you flip a few bucks to them or they just let you have it it's still cheaper. My wife has been out of work so we had to cut back. My Mom has all the movie channels and I got all of their apps and cast it to my tv through my Chromecast.

I had that fight with directv 2 years ago to get the whole home dvr. It took awhile but they finally gave it to me. I'm guessing this is the impact of AT&T owning them. Customer service becomes nonexistent.

Yeah, ATT is next on my list to drop... My bills have been between $200-220 a month with them no matter how I adjust my plan

Apple is like Roku. It gives you access to apps to stream content. Sling is a division of Dish, and offers livestream cable channels (ESPN, HGTV, etc.) via wireless. Sling is slimmed down "cable" without the actual cable. It also has on demand features instead of DVR. As for antenna, I would guess you are close enough to broadcast stations that you could use an inside digitial? I would suggest using this site to help determine what you need. Put in your zip, and it will tell you what channels are available over the air, and the best equipment to receive them. www.antennaweb.org/Address

Apple TV is useless if you aren't willing to steal by using someone's cable login
