My neighbor just came over to say he's getting Fire TV, not Fire Stick. It comes with a box and costs $100 a month. He said he saw it at a friend's house and it gets every channel out there, even local channels in Boston and New York and NFL Sunday Ticket. I told him, that didn't sound legal. I have Directv with everything and it costs about $180 a month. So the convenience is costing me about $80 a month. I figure as a retiree I don't need any aggravation, so I'll stay with Directv for now until I see something just as convenient. Maybe my neighbor is onto something, I'll wait and see.

I have a TV in a guest BR connected to an O-T-A antenna and gets about 30 channels. If I to watch just those 30 channels the rest of my life, I would sell my TV.
