    Yep gave him 325 bucks for it, he wanted less for it i said c'mon i don't want you to give it away so i gave him the 325 for it. I felt guilty but he laugh and said i wrote it off years ago

    He's known me sence i was a little kid, i think it was his way of helping me out.

    if you have dish or direct it's like $6 a month all you are paying for is an added box to your home acc.... if you have a box that you don't real use at home then you can just put it into the truck,

    we pay $12 because we have a dvr

    try getting tv 2 work OTHER than in a big city, most of the time it's 2-8 that will come in and in the sw 1/2 are from mexico...?

    hula is ok but why eat the gig's on the air card and if you don't have a good 3g or close to it you have to deal with buffering and i would have to took my laptop up to our 26" tv and run the laptop al the time just for that

    if it works for you great but we are down for 2-3 days a week and using any online tv would kill our air card

    Not any more! They are back with new owners and are trying to re-expand. Apparently, they believe they have a better business model now.

    A ten dollar digital antenna hooked up to a digital capable tv will get you all the free HD channels you need.
