Today I got my Cox cable bill. It went up $28. $119 plus taxes and fees for the basic TV channels. This does not include the internet charges. No HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, sports networks, and many other channels I don't get.
I phoned up and cancelled my Cox TV. I am keeping the internet because it is a lot cheaper than the TV and I get all the Amazon Prime shows and my Firestick gets practically anything I want to see.

Of course they raised my internet $10 since I am no longer "bundled". I have very cheap little flat TV antennas that I put on. The first TV I get 38 channels and the other TV I get 30 clear and 4 bad. I think I need to adjust that antenna.

While I was camping I got hooked on Grit TV with all of the old westerns that I watched when I was a kid and have forgotten. Now I can watch Grit for free over the air. The only downside is that I can't go to sleep with the TV on the Firestick channels because I use up a lot of MBs that way and if I use over 1TB a month they charge me extra. The only problem I have is that my wife wants to watch COPS most of the time and hates using the Firestick. I guess I have to give her a little more training.

Ahah! My mom's Suddenstink went up $20 last month to $135 for just TV, no premium channels, no internet. She has an offer from ATT for something cheap, but I haven't read the fine print.

Tells me the cable industry is in cahoots.

D A M N Laying here in bed and see you call it SuddenStink. That was a laugh out loud moment. Glad I didn’t wake the ol lady up.

My basic Diretv, {2 sets}, with no movie channels, is $117. My parents pay $228, for Spectrum, with no internet service.

Can't blame them for charging that much, we keep for paying it. :confused3:

We are our own worst enemies here.

I thought you were cheaper than what we were, AU$88 month for unlimited internet and phone, internet is 24mbs and all calls are included in the price.
Netflix AU$14 month for HD two TV's.
Mobile phones are AU$15 including calls, there is a limit for calls and data but I have never hit it yet.
Our provider is Dodo

We're told we can't have something like that because our country is so big and the infrastructure would be very expensive and ....., oh wait a second.


I'm using Silicon Dust tuner running recording engine on ubuntu server, with nvidea shield as the end point, connected to tv. I can do OTA DVR functions and online streaming using android apps on the shield.

My camper trailer has a decent antenna and when we go camping we get up to 35 channels at some places and rarely are in an area where we can't pick up anything.

That's kinda sad to me.

Forgive my lack of technology, but this sounds like a foreign language to me.

He's got a DVR tuner recording over the air TV onto a computer running a Linux operating system.
