Members JerryNumbers Posted April 30, 2008 Members Share Posted April 30, 2008 We bought our present TV in 1993, we have Direct TV, but watch local TV stations on our antenna. I'm debating on getting a new TV or a converted box. so we can keep watching our local TV stations. I think this is a rotten deal our goverment is forcing on its citizens. But I see it as a boom for the makers and sellers of TV's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John81 Posted April 30, 2008 Members Share Posted April 30, 2008 I recently received an ad in the mail from Direct TV and in the ad it stated that local channels came free with Direct TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JerryNumbers Posted April 30, 2008 Members Share Posted April 30, 2008 We got Dish, no local channels. Unless you pay extra and or buy a package that includes them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they will add the local channels for five dollars or something per month but it's not that important to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JerryNumbers Posted May 1, 2008 Members Share Posted May 1, 2008 I checked Direct TV's web site, seems that I could get just about what I got now, plus local channels for a few less dollars per month. I just sent off my bill to Dish and included a note telling them, make an offer or I'm leaving. I like the local channels for weather reports, especially when its stormy.

Members brosmith Posted May 5, 2008 Members Share Posted May 5, 2008 I won't do a thing. I don't pay for our cable, the motel owner does. He may have to replace a lot of TV's but not me. If I had to pay anthing then I wouldn't have cable. I think it is a waste of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Haha yep. Huge waste of money. We don't have cable. I still don't understand why people whine about not having a lot of money but they buy cable...doesn't add up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
