    Streaming TV? No thanks

    been on Direct TV for years -frustrating at times trying to deal with their customer service but overall they deliver the TV shows I am interested in.

    Wife and I go to VRBO places a number of times a year so if we are at a rental they always have smart tv's with streaming. Out of necessity I have learned to somewhat maneuver around.

    My main complaint is how long it takes to go from one station/show to a different one. Way way to slow for me.

    Other complaint is that many of the things I watch on DTV are there - golf, sports, outdoor, history, etc.

    By my calculations if you end up with the same shows you want to see it cost about the same as cable - I don't get it

    We were paying for internet anyways so it made sense for us.

      We do a mix. We have the absolute cheapest of Direct TV packages and watch other things on the streaming channels, mostly old tv shows like The Rockford Files, Hill Street Blues, etc.
      There’s very little of the current tv shows I want to watch.

          We switched to streaming, would never go back to satellite tv. I can log onto the tv with my phone as a remote and do whatever I need. Once you figure it out you’ll like it.

                I am all of the above.
                I have a digital antenna on the garage that picks up free local everything. {best picture ever - golf - baseball}
                We have Uverse, and I stream with a lot of different services. Disney and Hulu are going to start having ads about gun control and abortions. Dumped them...
                Today the Astros were on Peacock or nowhere. For $5.36 we watched the game on 3 tv's today...

                  We do DIRECTV stream. I like it and it works for us.

                    Living in the sticks with subpar internet sucks or I too would dump DIRECTV.
                    What I don’t understand is I can watch Netflix just fine, but if I try to stream tv through fubo or any other provider, it sucks.

                      Get Starlink and you won't have subpar internet.

                            I just wish my kids were still around to get up and turn the dial for me, and spin the rabbit-ears.

                              Guys, don’t pay for TV



                              No need to pay for new Hollywood movies either.
