    A friend of mine got in on the same deal. He was always rubbing it in on me ;-)

    If you have dish at home you can check into Dish Anywhere and watch your dish channels anywhere on your puter or ipad or iphone, i think theres no extra fee?

    There are options. For roughly the same price. And have different offerings.

    Directvnow has the best value. And premiums are cheaper to add on. And will probably work in more markets. As youtube hasn't been around very long.

    You also need to look at your carrier packages. As they all have a service included with your cell phone package.

    Verizon offers youtube.
    Sprint offers netflix or hulu ondemand.
    Tmo offers both too, I think. Since it merged with sprint.
    ATT offers directvnow for $25 per month + free hbo. As they own directv. And hbo.

    Playstationvue
    hulu live
    directvnow
    sling owned by dishnetwork
    fubotv
    philo

    There's sports apps and there's free services.

    Don't expect any type of service without glitches though. No one can make up their mind about contracts.

    I signed up for directvnow a year ago. It only had nbc and fox at that time. Cbs eventually got added. ABC was added last month and nbc went by by. My aunt has satellite and said it don't work there either. I guess there's contract disputes.

    The locals also have their own apps. But for whatever reason. None of them are live anymore. At the moment.

    Google, Amazon, Hulu have been around for a few years now. Streaming tv is just getting started as of a couple years ago. With plans to eliminate satellite service soon.

    Keep an eye on www.corduttersnews.com

    The $20 per month service plan was discontinued last year also. Because of internet hogs.

    I almost lost my plan when my mobley didn't want to recognize the sim anymore. I bought a new 5g capable hotspot modem. They wanted to switch me to their 5gig $50 per month plan.

    If you own a truck the concern isn't miles it's the most revenue on the least amount of miles possible. I didn't have a TV in the truck as a company driver getting paid by the mile, as owner op I do.
