We pulled the plug on DTV, last March when we sold our home. I own the receivers, and have auto satellite in the Motorhome.
We did not reconnect due to several factors, social programming, crappy news reporting, talking heads that don't have a clue/propaganda, and cost of crappy programming.
Flash back, don't miss it a day. We choose which crappy news reporting and headlines we want on the computer. Sometimes there are even well written articles that tells the entire story.
We buy Blu-Ray movies as we choose, and have recorded all our privately owned standard dvd's onto an external hard drive (easy storage solution).
We probably spend as much on dvd movies/internet access, but it sure is nice to choose our own programs. There is one series we liked that we will purchase as the new season ends and becomes available on dvd.
Otherwise, the receiver and satellite collects dust and has become ornaments.
Don't envision returning to satellite TV until they offer ala carte, is that like ala mode. So most likely will never return.
When we visit family, we don't even watch their cable network. It's amazing how reruns of John Wayne is still enjoyable, Michenor's Texas, et. al. We purchase history dvds, which results in some great and interesting video.
Kindle reading fills in the blank times.
This was our solution.
