I too am considering dumping DTV. In the past they’ve been willing to give me promotional discounts to get around their high prices. Now they are playing hardball and my wife and I are ready to dump DTV, even though we’ve been with them for about 20 years.
Trouble is I’d like to duplicate the way I watched DTV to some degree. Stuff like movies and series I’m ok streaming on demand. But I’ve been using my DVR buffer a LOT to watch live programs like news and sports. I’ll build up a buffer on CNN and use it to bypass their very excessive commercials.
Is there a way to duplicate this? Cable and a DVR? Streaming only? I do have an Apple TV. We’re considering a TIVO. Back when DTV used Tivo’s, we brought their lifetime service and it still shows on our bill as something like “Advanced DVR Lifetime Subscription” for 0 dollars. I wonder if TiVo will remember us?
