Rich, is your neighborhood wired for cable?

That'd be no. We have absolutely no wired internet of any kind available. Not even DSL.
And I had satellite internet before and it was beyond a joke. Which I never could understand because I can watch 250 HD channels on Dish or DirecTV (which are satellite) but you can't have any reasonable internet via satellite?
Dish says they are still in negotiations and "cancelling and switching" to another provider allows these rogue networks to just keep raising prices out of control so it's bad for the industry.
But...if you don't offer the programming I want....and DirecTV does...then you lose.
I was going to give it a couple week and see what happens. I'd really love to just have internet and could live off streaming services for the amount of TV we watch but that's years away in my neck of the woods.
I've tried both DirecTV and Dish over the last couple decades. I actually prefer DirecTV, but Dish has (for me) had much better service and the costs are much cheaper for relatively same programming. And DirecTV DVR storage is about 40% of Dish basic versions.

you don't even have a landline?? 8-0
When I lived out that way both places I lived had cable, even out in linden where I was 1 1/2 miles from asphalt.
you need a cellular modem

I just got Tmobile's internet 5g service, it's pretty good. And from what I've read in the forums, it occasionally works out in the boonies. Line of site, or at least pointing the unit towards the cell towers. No contracts, unlimited data, totally wireless, crazy speeds where I'm at. Just ran a speedtest, uploads are a lot faster, normally in the 50s. 60 bucks a month.
look up cellmapper.net, see how close a cell tower is to you.

Rich, you tried tuning the games in on rabbit ears (digital antenna) That is if they even broadcast those channels anymore.

I don't think the local sports teams have been broadcast over the air since hockey and basketball were on channels 50 and 20
