      They're digging their heels in, as such I can't get NBC and there's a football game on today. If you're wondering why I'm a customer of DirectTV is due to where we live, it's the only option available. I value local news and live sports, and NBC is part of the line up we use daily.

      Guess I'll have to stream the game instead, it fucking sucks.

        @midengine Same here (only option). Looking forward to our electric provider getting our fiber hooked up in the next few months so we can get service through them.

          @davesaddiction Streaming isn't much of an option either, we're on DSL. But honestly, why would anyone pay for tv service if they had OTA as an option and/or fiber to stream. DirectTv is bleeding subscribers and they pull this shit? Assholes

            @midengine Windstream is 20 down and 1 (maybe) up. Looking forward to 500 (max) both ways!

              @midengine The fact that many people basically have no choice in internet or TV providers is why I am so excited for the Starlink project. While it has it's own issues, at least it will provide an alternative for everyone. These ISPs and TV providers that have effective monopolies in many areas I am sure are shitting bricks about the Starlink project.

                Ziply is running fiber all over the place here, but not to my place cuz it would make no business sense to do so. I'm watching the beta launch of SpaceX satellites, the reviews are truly hit & miss for the time being.

                  AT&T can unkindly fuck off. So can Comcrap, Crime Warner/Rectum, Cocks, the whole lot.

                    @MidEngine NFLBite.com if you want an "unofficial" stream of the game today. Use an adblocker though (ublock origin is my preferred one)

                      @midengine It's the annual pissing contest over carriage rates. They'll get it worked out, and football is usually something that really gets things kickstarted. Dish is doing their annual dance with NBC right now.

                        @midengine when we moved in to our current house, fios had just showed up and was a fortune. Tried to get directtv out to do an install. Three different guys couldn't do it, for some reason. Caved an gave fios a call. Told them directtv was coming out for a fourth time in two days, and that if they could get the install some before then it was theirs. Got it done with no issues whatsoever. Had fios ever since.

                          @midengine I don’t live that far from you and we have Xfinity (far from perfect as well) is that not an option?

                            @spaceball-two Nope, no options currently other than satellite, and the latency is a no-go. I'm in unincorporated Snohomish county, on the outskirts of Gold Bar.

                              @cash-rewards Rural folks don't get to play off one service vs another, and they know it. Blue Origin and SpaceX are both launching satellites for people like us, I'm looking forward to having a reliable and affordable option.

                                @midengine Good news is you can get a free month of Hulu or Sling that should cover the rest of this season, if not the playoffs.

                                      I have lived a much happier life by cutting TV out of it. I get entertainment by watching a bunch of YouTube series like Hoonigan, Donut, bunch of drivers I follow, etc. If I really want to know how crappy the world is I get my news on YouTube from Philip DeFranco.

                                        We gave up DirecTV about 4 months ago. It was significantly cheaper to switch to Hulu Live with HBO (live and HBO Max), and switch our cable internet to AT&T Fiber. It was just too damn expensive.

                                        Haven't looked back since.
