ATT doing away with satellite TV

Regardless of what is being said by AT&T, there are still lots of empires within AT&T/DIRECTV of who is right and who will lead the charge. I wouldn't worry so much about DIRECTV satellite services disappearing so quickly. They have A LOT invested in satellite services.

Their newest bird, D-15, is just over a year old with an expected lifespan of more than 15 years. I believe there may be at least another going up within the next two years.

DIRECTV Successfully Launches Two Satellites Significantly Increasing HD and 4K Capacity

I'm finding that the cost increases for TW Cable(who is up for sale) are no longer worth the money. In the Los Angeles Basin there are about 50 or so channels available OTA. probably 1/3 to 1/4 are foreign language but still a lot of channels for all of us. For the stick and brick I am willing to cut the cable and go completely OTA, for travel, BluRay and Nature will do just fine.

On edit, there is also oral communication with other campers or as my DGKs say, "G" Dude is out making friends.

Sling TV is owned by Dish and it's a great service. They have 3 plans from $20.00 $25.00 and $40.00 (a month) $40.00 gets every channel and is called Blue + Orange, you can also add specific packages for around $5.00 each

All you'll need is something like an AppleTV, Roku or better yet and cheaper an Amazon Firestick $39.00 - On the firestick you can also stream Netflix, amazon, Hulu, etc because they're part of the firestick.

Just a FYI update to the TWC ownership comment... TWC was actually purchased by Charter Communications and that acquisition closed the beginning of summer this year.
