Sorry if this has been posted before but I couldn’t find any prior threads.
The cable bill cracked $111 a month and it has me wondering about a switch. I have HBO and digital cable service. It looks like a could get a DirectTV for about $70 a month (ignoring the promo discount).
My house is wired with a single line feeding all 5 TV’s. Our current setup allows us to watch 99 channels on any TV, and the upper level channels and premium channels on only 1 set. At that set I can record a higher end channel program and watch anything on the lower 99 at the same time. All the TV’s are ‘cable ready’ and my kid hooked up some sort of booster jobberdo on the cable to allow good reception on all TV’s - even 3 or 4 at the same time.
I have been told that satellite systems require a separate line from the dish to each TV and some sort of converter at each TV. Correct? I have also heard stories about really shoddy installs with the lines not being tacked down and holes drilled right through the side of the house and not caulked.
I really want to be able to get OLN but I don’t see it on the list from DirectTV. Have I missed something there? Also told no ‘on demand’ feature. Right?
All of these things are a deal breaker for me. If anyone has another option I would like to hear about it.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
