The Brighthouse change will likely lead to poorer service because that is what all of these providers do to increase profits. Have been with Comcast since we have been here for 8 years. We have seldom had problems with Comcast service. But we have minimum service which is Basic at $46 per month. We get all of the local channels plus weather, Tru TV , Fox , Food, plus a number of other stations in Spanish, religious , advertisement. I am not bragging about this as the choice is limited and getting more limited as they are gradually limiting the stations more.

Several years ago when they were forced to go to Digital from analog, they gave free devices that accommodated this change. Then they started charging $3/mo per each TV.

Kind of like the airlines with bags, seat assignments, meals, drinks etc. We don't like it but are accustomed to the constant rise.

We all wait for the new technology advancement that will lower our rates while the tech giants work to exploit it into more $.

If only antenna advancement could get us back to free TV. What a dream.
