Oso planning to go pro
Some areas do have fox, cbs, etc. I think Chicago is one of those areas.
O & O markets only.So some markets will have all, some will have some, some will have none. Affiliate markets won't have.
Can you elaborate what that means? My dad is seriously considering getting it, we're in the Chiczgo market so would we get the local channels?
Checked for you.Chicago area comes with Fox, Abc, cbs, nbc. However your lowest price is $40 compared to the $30.No doubt the deals with the regional channels bump the price.
Still wayyy cheaper than the current DirecTV bill.
Apples to oranges. You are getting different programming. If price is all you care about, then many options are not for you.
Understand, and that's my point. You'll actually pay more per channel with Vue, and if variety doesn't matter, then you are better off doing that. of course you can also get "skinny" bundles from other carriers like Directv, Comcast, etc...everyone has them to one extent of another.My point is, compare apples to apples. Things like 4K, HD, concurrency limits, ability to buy PPV fights, NFL Sunday Ticket, etc, etc. They are just totally different services and if price is your soul driver and a few channels, then the premium bigger service just isn't for you. Which is fine, many people make that decision. No different than a Hyundai will get you to work just like a Lexus or my used pick up truck. Different strokes for different folks.
Yea, once we dropped HBO and sunday ticket the DirecTV packages became unnecessary. I loved both FWIW, but we didn't watch those things enough for it to be worth it.
You can also get HBO straight up online now as well. They offer their own service.
Question I had about directTV: With the cable companies expanding their infrastructure in the last 15 years has direct TV lost a lot of business to them through competition? IE: When I was 9 we had dial up and Direct Tv, simply because no cable company was near for high speed internet/tv. We got time warner when I was 13. We dropped direct Tv. Has that been happening more now?Also, did you all ever stop the issue of "If it rains bye bye tv"?

No wonder why they only have a few thousand subs....a number of those channels aren't even properly named anymore.
These channels are just on demand with very limited amounts of shows. Not the full channels in most areas.
