What streaming service had their own box?

Don’t recall name. DSL days.

Short answer - yes. IF Dish is headed for the iceberg, and in my opinion that's a big if, what's your hurry? Ignore all the nay sayers on the forum, they've been wrong about Charlie all along the way. He just fleeced DTV and used that ploy as leverage to get the financing he needed to keep going so rather than admit they were wrong they immediately changed their story to "Well what's he going to do next time?" etc, etc. If it's going to hit the iceberg wait until it happens it's not like options won't be available at the time. Just my $.02.

Charlie's full of surprises lol

The only one close to that timeframe was Vudu ( the Vudu Box), but they are very much still in business ( now known as Fandango at Home).

Back in the day there were XXX services that had their own streaming box.

Probably why Navy conveniently did not remember the service.

Well, I’m glad you’ve had your fun. Do you remember much about your Internet access from 30ish years ago?

I remember I had to install a device on the copper lines in house to separate out the DSL and voice functions to improve the signal. I don’t remember the name of the Internet provider I used back then. But I remember they, and the company I went to after them, going under. Famous name, too. They dropped like flies.

And yes, there was some provided equipment to utilize the service.

I don’t think the term “streaming service” was even in use back then. So my use of the term may be inaccurate.
