I have finally convinced the wife to drop cable.
I bought a Firestick back in November and we are
going to drop our $137.00 monthly bill.
I haven't got a dollar figure for just Internet yet.
I'm expect $29 to $49, from others I know.

The Firestick it on sale today if you are a Prime member.
$15 off the regular $39.99, I received an additional $5 courtesy
discount, I don't know if everyone gets that.

I already have an antenna up.

I just wrote a bad review on my Dish account and they called me with a
$70 discount. ($165 to 95)


Congratulations. Where did you place thst review?


I had a problem with a bad fan controller in the box (over heat alarm)
and I called tech support. The guy was a script monkey moron who was
no help at all. In the end I just moved the wires over to the +12v
from the disk drive connector and made the problem go away.
They sent me a survey. On the negative survey response, I said when I
cancel the account and send the box back, they can fix it then.
The retention department was on the phone the next morning with a
deal. I still may send it back tho. Even at $95 I am paying a lot of
money for 300 channels I never watch.
