What signal meter will work?

Nice try... One of my hats is taking care of several thousand TV and Radio group licenses at the FCC. And yes the call did occur but your rants weren't worth the bandwidth. Seriously.. Do a little research. YOU are the poster child problem in campgrounds where no one can use WiFi because some selfish camper has decided to stream movies all night.

Done..

You've been sleeping too long. Perhaps, along with others this will wake you up.

And STILL haven't addressed the question of where all this bandwidth is coming from? Using WiFi devices like this at campgrounds are exactly the reason that those who can are shutting off streaming services, because their systems or the provider can't deal with it. There are hundreds of threads on this forum that fly square in the face of your "solution". Do a little research, the world isn't as simple as you think

When you lost the wind behind your sail, start fishing for the red herring.

Since this thread is already answered and hijacked.
I absolutely hate paying to watch 50% commercials on sat TV but anyone that says Amazon is a comparable service is not correct. They are TOTALLY different services.The only thing similar is your TV is on and making noise.

Anyway, what did you pay for the BirdDog? We carry them in the satellite trucks as a verification that the $30,000 auto pointing devices did what we asked

I paid $149 for a refurbished 2.5 model that has the sats loaded that I need. It should arrive soon. It is from "Installer Oasis".

You clearly don't get the point that terresterial IP distribution is an extremely limited resource. It's interesting you continue to gloss completely over this.

Companies don't buy and merge because they are losing business, they merge to EXPAND.

This is not about glossing, rather the failure to answer relevant question “why are people abandoning their satellite dishes”. I have posted my views about this on my previous posts., I suggest you read them. If what you're to saying is: people shouldn't voice their opinions because their thinking don't mesh with your line of thought then what is purpose of this forum?

Companies don't buy and merge because they are losing business, they merge to EXPAND.

Merger is the euphemism of takeover. They use the word (merger) because it sounds more palatable to the FTC. Takeovers, whether motivated by expansion or for the purpose of making the CEO look good also makes the FTC suspicious—hence require approval for any attempt to merge. It leads to
monopoly if not properly regulated.

This euphemism is also necessary to avert investors running for the nearest exit—which could be devastating to the company's stock.

Well, that didn't help much. I ordered a Birddog signal meter today, looks like it should do the trick.

Now for streaming, it might work where some people camp, but like I said most places we go we don't have a cell signal while using a phone signal booster. So that is not an option.

It's a good meter. I went with a Super Buddy 29. Sorry much of your thread was hijacked.

Direct TV had consolidated their operation with ATT while Time Warner was bought out by Comcast because of diminished customer base. These are the signs where these su**telites are headed and the condition is grim.

Time Warner was bought by Charter, not Comcast.
