We have been using AT&T streaming for several years and very happy to have cut the cable cord. All of the streaming services have packages to select from. The one we have includes enough sports channels that we like to have. We also have a smart tv and that allows us access to other means of streaming (such as Roku TV and our subscriptions to Amazon Prime and Disney Plus). We have been very pleased and have not had any major problems.

I manage around 100 Rentals and Snowbirds here and the problem with the Dish/Direct/Spectrums is they have very few employees in the field they use Sub Companies and the service is awful. I got fed up with the Comcast Bills continuing to rise and found a Streaming service and actually get more channels and Movies and the cost even with upgrading my Internet speeds dramatically is less than 1/2 what I paid for my Comcast Bundle.

Illegal IPTV service, which is pretty obvious when you get almost every channel for $20/month. You better be using a VPN so you don't get in trouble.

I have Dish and have had for years. They have really good customer service. Rate is about the same as when I started. It is very rare that we lose service due to a storm, and then we just watch something that we have recorded on the DVR. ABC is back and when they were in negotiations, they gave us credit on our bill. I’m happy with their service.

Yes, don't go to the Max23TV website. Parts of their site tries to download malware.

I agree with others that streaming is the way to go. There are so many more options, and you can pick and choose month to month which ones you want to pay for.

Someone else mentioned Starlink internet, which will be a game-changer once the full network is deployed. There will no longer be lock-in to only the companies that can run a cable to your home. There are at least 2 other companies working on low orbit satellite internet. Competition in broadband is finally coming!

If you have at least internet service, you can stream all local Orlando channels via locast dot orgfor $5.50/month. If you need even more channels, you can add streaming with Philo dot com for $20/month more plus taxes.

We've been trying to get CenturyLink installed since last week. First they said Monday, no one showed and when I called they said there was a 'glitch' in their system and someone would be out Tuesday. Finally got a call late Tuesday saying it would be Thursday. Their window is 8-5 for installs. Checked online and the system says we don't have anything scheduled. If they don't show we will just stick with Spectrum. Over $100/month less than xFinity but no DVR or pause.

I dropped Comcast a couple of years ago, one of the best days ever.
I went to youtubetv and I like 'em pretty well.

I didn't think anything could be worse than Spectrum.......until we subscribed to Comcast after our move down here last May!!! Comcast is, by far, worse, I think. It's costing us $137/month for "basic" cable TV and internet which is SO terribly slow and it drops our WiFi constantly off and on all day on all devices. (We never had dropped internet/WiFi or slow service with Spectrum) When I called to complain to Comcast, first she looked at our "package," then asked how many devices we have internet on at one time, then did a troubleshoot. Nope!! No problems on their end that she could see and wouldn't I like her to transfer me to tech support so they could resolve?? I was waiting for the old pitch, "for an additional $$$ per month" BS and "if you were renting OUR modem, we could guarantee" this, that or the other thing. ALL cable companies are the same, lousy customer service, ridiculously exorbitant rates for what you get, etc., but as soon as our 2 year contract is up, we're outta here. Not sure what we'll switch to, but it if weren't for the steep penalties to get out of the contract, we'd drop Comcast like a hot potato!!!

I have what sounds like the same thing. Every day my computer screen goes blank and then comes back on with the message "driver recovery". I took it to the Geek Squad but the didn't fix it. I don't know what is causing this.

I CUT THE CABLE and all that - even dish ! last year - went with "streaming" Live TV such as YouTube TV - cost less AND you can watch it from anywhere in the house - don't need to be hard connected ! All you'd need is internet and I still get it from Xfinity for only $20 a month !

The cable companies are hurting. Streaming is big competition.
