Took the plunge and cancelled Dish today!

This was a big step for me especially considering I have potato internet right now (WISP -- 25MB down) but my Dish bill was going to be around $170 with the upcoming increase and there is never anything good on most days. I must have done well because it only took 20 minutes and I've heard of other people being on the phone with them for much longer. I told them that my wife and I are empty nesters now and we don't watch TV at all which made the subsequent offers to keep the service pointless. They are making me ship back the Hopper but they aren't making me return the LNB. They tried but I told them it is mounted too high on my roof for me to reach safely. Which is mostly true since I am currently nursing a broken pinky toe. ;)

I'll be rolling with Philo and DirecTV sports pack as the replacements for now. I have been testing them the past few days with my potato internet and they did surprisingly well. Makes me wish I had cut the cord sooner!

Potential antenna sharing setup

I have two old TivoHDs that I am resurrecting for OTA use because Spectrum will cut off CableCards at some point so my fancy six tuner Tivo Bolt will become a brick. Thankfully, the ancient TivoHDs still work (lifetime service on all). With that said, consider the attached photo. Right now, I have an outdoor omnidirectional amplified antenna on one of the TivoHDs just to see if that was feasible. It seems to work well so phase 2 is to see if I can get the second TiviHD to share that antenna OR if I have to setup a separate antenna for that. Will the antenna amp only help the first Tivo? Is it possible to run two amps (assuming I can buy a second one for that antenna) or will they interfere with each other?

Cut all the streaming services and cable and living better.

As text says. I’m currently on free antena TV and it’s way better. I’m saving lots of money doing it. I also use YouTube a lot on my phone. I have free hbo max through my cell service but don’t use it.

I don’t even have WiFi in my house so I’m not on any streaming services. I also watch alot of dvd movies I had. But i rarely see tv as I’m always working. What are some reasons you don’t you cut your streaming services?

Tv antenna upgrade

What do y’all think of the Televes DAT BOSS MIX LR (149884) vs. getting the Channel Master Pro-Model CM-1776 with the Channel Master UHF Extension? The Televes would be around $200, and the CM-1776 plus the UHF Extension would be about $198 total. BTW will be used for 3 tvs.

Antenna Advice

I just cut the cord and installed a $50 attic antenna in my home in upper Westchester NY. I am roughly 45 miles from the transmitter in Manhattan. Below are my signal readings:

Ch 36- CBS- top out at 21 dB- clear picture- locked
Ch 27- Fox- top out at 12 dB- no picture- unlock
Ch 7- ABC- top out at 20.12 dB- clear picture- locked
Ch 35- NBC- top out at 12 dB- no picture- unlock
Ch 7- WPIX- top out at 20 dB- clear picture- locked

I’m trying to find that sweet spot to lock in these 5 main channels. I went to the rabbit ears site for direction and used the compass app on my phone to aim the antenna 206 degrees. I can’t seem to get all of them at a time. From what I’ve read, I’m pretty close and right below the threshold to get Fox and NBC. My question is- is this a matter of needing a better attic antenna? An amplifier? Or is my only way of getting all 5 is mounting it outside? (Which I’m trying to avoid). I’ve attached a pic of the Home Depot antenna I am using and what my attic looks like. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Full circle

So we moved away from cable and got YTTV and many streaming services and I constantly find my wife is watching the Samsung or Roku fast channels or live YTTV channels. "You know babe we have.... Insert service here... and you can watch without commercials. No that's OK I'm fine with this. I don't want to have to choose what to watch. I'll find whatever is on."

It's like we still have cable. Just a different delivery. We've come full circle.
