Basically what the title says. Got sling tv to watch the games, we’ve been in a small town for a couple days for the holiday and up until yesterday night everything was fine. Now the games aren’t showing on the app at all. We’ve just been watching on our phones/ipad. Very frustrating to pay for something for a specific purpose and then not have access to it. Anyone know what’s causing this?

Here’s the situation I’m in:

Single car household, I drive a company car for work. Possibly changing jobs soon and would need another vehicle to make it work. They pay mileage and an $800 car allowance monthly.

I’ve been looking at buying used (financing, small down payment available- likely around 2k) and buying a mid size suv (looking mostly at Subaru forester currently but also open to an Outback or Mazda cx5) which will become our family vehicle for school drop off/pick up, extra curricular transportation and road trips/hiking/camping. I would take our current vehicle as my commuter (22 Hyundai Sonata). Car payment is about $200 a month.

I have some nerves about locking in to a higher car payment for a new job. The industry is doing well, I’m not terribly concerned with job stability, but it’s definitely still on my mind.

I’ve started to think more about potentially leasing, but I don’t realistically know how many miles I drive a year. My son just made club soccer and we’ll be driving several times a week for practice and tournaments. Some are likely close by, but others probably aren’t. We also take a ~900 mile road trip about 2 times a year.

The sonata has about 60k miles on it now, it had 20k when I bought it in 2024, but I did drive it for a year and a half commuting before I got a company car so that skews my mileage average a fair amount.

If I had the cash I’d just buy an older used car private seller, but I will need to finance if I buy.

Thoughts? Does anyone have more insight on leasing?
