Cut the cord (Dish)
They finally got me mad enough to kill them and I am Dishless.
The box went down on Saturday (4/26). In spite of paying for the on site service contract they still shipped me another box that didn't here until Thursday. I never opened the box. It took 4 phone calls and a lot of listening to music to finally get them to cancel my account but I am outta there. I am going to live with OTA and streaming. I will get my HBO and Show from Amazon, that we already have and we already have Netflix. My bill will be going down about $80 a month after I buy HBO/Show. At least Harry won't be able to accuse me of watching too much Fox News ;-) I really wasn't watching much "cable" at all, hence the change. The only thing I have really missed so far is the outdoor channel and I am looking for a path. I am sure sportsman and OCH has a deal with someone. It is really refreshing not watching ad based TV. |

I have to record all my favourite shows on the PVR.
Commercial tv has become unbearable due to all the commercials. Now I just fast forward away. I've talked to the wife about ditching cable but she pays the piper and calls the tunes. |

Poking around a little it looks like you can stream segments from the Outdoor Channel, (not the whole show) for free. Since I really don't care about the whole show most of the time that might work for me. |

Other than being able to record an A/V feed there is not much you can do with it. The Tivo handles anything coming in over the air. |

Gee, a guy like you should be able to make his own bootleg satellite dish and receiver/decoder from a galvanized metal trash can cover and those parts you swiped from obsolete IBM line printers. Get to work! I didn't even fool with that when it was something you could do. (You use to be able to hack the "H" card pretty easy) The actual dish and LNA is something you pick up on the side of the road. I still have mine but they did say they wanted the LNA back. I am thinking about turning the dish around and pointing it at the country club across the river. With a mike on the LNA arm I imagine I could aim it at their speaker towers when they have live bands over there and get a free show. You can already hear them but it is not very good quality sound by the time it gets here. The other thing old satellite dishes are good for is extending WiFi. Two dishes aimed at each other with a WiFi antenna at the focus is supposed to "get out" around 10 miles with LOS. We are really just interested in about 800 feet tho. (a camera at the boat ramp, connected to the web from my house). They are not interested enough to buy another service from the telco or Comcast. |
