Not really true. Virtually all of The Villages has Comcast and all of The Villages south of 466a has Spectrum. That means a very large chunk of The Villages has access to both Comcast and Spectrum. In addition, virtually all of The Villages has access to CenturyLink, with a large chunk via fiber optic cable to the house. Where I live, there are 3 choices for Internet access and 5 choices for TV, plus TV streaming services and over-the-air antennas. In the northern parts of The Villages there is some limitation on choices but the southern half has lots of options.

Spectrum use to be Bright House and then 2 or 3 years ago they were bought by Charter and changed the name to Spectrum. They had a salesman on TOTV all the time about two years ago. It was pretty well known back then, if you didn't live below 466A, don't call them. Comcast and Century Link are just about everywhere.
Personally I've had Directv since 2008, three years in Maryland and seven years here. I've never had a technician come to my house to make a repair. The only time I had a tech come by was three years ago when I switched from a regular HD box to a HD DVR box. It can store 1000 hours of HD programming. I believe Directv is better than sliced bread, if you don't have Directv, then you're missing TV. |

The YouTubeTV streaming service has DVR in the cloud. I suspect the other streaming services also have cloud-based streaming services. If you look at what programming you actually watch, you may be able to ditch cable/satellite services for a streaming service at lower cost.

I hardly watch football so it is really not an issue. I prefer to go out and play sports myself instead of watching others. To each his own.

Per the FCC, that restriction cannot be enforced: Q: What types of restrictions unreasonably delay or prevent viewers from using an antenna? Can an antenna user be required to obtain prior approval before installing his antenna? A: A local restriction that prohibits all antennas would prevent viewers from receiving signals, and is prohibited by the Commission's rule. Procedural requirements can also unreasonably delay installation, maintenance or use of an antenna covered by this rule. For example, local rules or regulations that require a person to obtain a permit or approval prior to installation create unreasonable delay and are generally prohibited. Permits or prior approval necessary to serve a legitimate written safety or historic preservation purpose may be permissible. Although a simple notification process (e.g. post installation) might be permissible, such a process cannot be used as a prior approval requirement and may not delay or increase the cost of installation. The burden is on the association to show that a notification process does not violate our rule. More:Over-the-Air Reception Devices Rule | Federal Communications Commission |

I've only missed seeing one Baltimore Ravens regular season game since their inception in 1996 either on TV or in person. Baltimore is a small market that is wedged between Washington (40 miles south) and Philadelphia (100 miles north) and in 1995 when Baltimore put together the best sports package, the NFL awarded franchises to Carolina and Jacksonville instead and NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue said, Baltimore go spend your money on a museum. He said that to the wrong people. In the end, Cleveland lost their team for 3 years and has never fully recovered and LA had no pro NFL team for 20 years because he ignored St. Louis and Jacksonville has to cover a 1/3 of their seats to get a sellout on ocassion. Baltimore is a football town, and even though I live in Florida I'm one of them. The Ravens get 71,000 people to every home game, there has only been one blackout game in 21 seasons. Some people don't care for football, I don't care for a few sports, mostly pro basketball, but NFL and especially the Ravens and before that, the Baltimore Colts for many years, and also College Football, golf and hockey I watch most of them religiously. To each their own. |

That's fine but I have never seen much entertainment value in watching others play sports.
