    Looks like It’s official Directv Buying Dish

    I have heard "Sling" will merge with Direct TV's streaming service. Sling & Dish are less expensive than what Direct offers, so expect an increase. Where "Free Sling" will go is anyone's guess.

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    Many are going that way. That is why Direct & Dish need to merge. Otherwise both will be gone in time. People just cannot afford the high cost of TV thee days. Streaming has some inexpensive options and lot of free channels, but if a subscriber wants the regular "cable type package", then they...

    Will Me TV Toons survive?

    Lots of great old cartoons not seen in years. We have a Weigel Class A here on the Oregon Coast on ch 36 (3). No MeTV-Toons added as yet, but the rest are there H&I, Start TV, Movies!, Catchy TV, METV+, Story TV, and METV. Both H&I and METV are in HD. The only way I can get METV-Toons is...

    Me Tv Toons

    We even have a Weigel LPTV on the Northern OR Coast here with the rest of their channels, so I am hoping they will add METV Toons in time. I have Frndly TV as a backup, so I am getting the channel.

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    I don't blame, Dish, Direct, or cable in most cases. The programmers are killing the golden goose. With everything doubling, there has to be some cut somewhere and with free OTA and streaming, the consumers are moving in that direction.

    They can stay afloat longer. Without the merge, neither may not exist in a few years.

    EchoStar/Dish raises doubts about 'ability to continue as a going concern'

    The problem with Dish, Direct, Cable, are the programmers. They demand way too much for the consumer to continue to pay for it. Plus many of the channels just run old reruns. With so many free streaming channels and adding in free OTA, more and more and moving in that direction. The talk...

    Amazon shutting down it's FreeVee service?

    I don't understand why Amazon would drop Freebee as it is a great way for people to be introduced to Amazon Prime.

    How things have changed

    D Dish & Cable are already planning (and have in some cases) switched to streaming. They see the handwriting on the wall probably more than we see it. Direct TV and well as Spectrum are moving to streaming. Direct (AT&T) said there are no more planned satellite launches. They are hoping that...

    What Apps ask for a TV provider and Why ?

    Depending on what you want. I have Sling after having Dish for nearly 25 years. I have Sling Blue and the adds on for only $61 a month. Being an old movie buff I have both FXM & TCM. After paying about $100 or more a month from Dish for years, this is better and we get locals OTA.
