look buy a metro by T-Mobile modem $50 unlimited use. it works all over the country for the most part. I took it on trips and had internet in my car at least 90% of the time. It will run off most cell towers at 5G ultra capacity. i would get between 50 -400 MB depending on where i was. I used You Tube TV. Had very little problems.Quote:

It?s best to drop satellites. We Roku and we don?t have many complaints and it?s way cheaper.Quote:

I have Dish and they switch to streaming when there's a weather issue. That's something fairly recent.Quote:

What does the ESPN app have to do with DTV?
Like 7, spotty WIFI is the only reason I haven't dropped DTV, but if I have to pay for another steaming service for the ASU game this weekend....the DTV dish is out by the road on Sunday morning.
I had Hulu already, so I added espn+. This worked for the lsu game, but I couldn't watch fsu game last night, so apparently it doesn't cover all espn broadcastsQuote:

For those about to drop DTV or who may be interested in switching packages, you can go to http://www.suppose.tv to compare streaming services.
Hulu live, YouTube TV and getting the ESPN App are all good options but if your internet is slow Spectrum may be the way to go.
Just realized how much I was paying for DTV just to literally get the SEC Network. I'll be switching to YouTubeTV regardless if DTV gets ESPN back before Saturday. Thank you for providing this.Quote:

I kept my DTV because I was wary of their fiber internet service but I've had it around a year and a half now and I've only had 1 outage which was taken care of in less than a day. It's time to flush DTV.Quote:

You will get it. Congratulations on your longevity. My old boss lived to the ripe old age of 104 and in mostly good health along the way. You are probably just entering your prime. :)Quote:

Is Thursday night NFL only on Prime this year?
I?m a few years behind oldjoedog, but I am not technology proficient at all. I hate it. I think I am going to get a tv fire stick and subscribe to Hulu and cancel Uverse tv. It is so expensive now. Any comments or suggestions?
Just make sure to go with Hulu live and not just Hulu if you plan to buy that service. Hulu live shows live television and they do carry all the SEC Networks as wellQuote:
