Still no quality cloud based DVR, though
A local DVR would solve a LOT of issues, but I don't see the content providers ever allowing that.

I think they would be willing to switch to Dish, but there are other issues with that. The EA sats are directly out their front door, and I'm pretty sure my mom is going to nix any dishes in her flower beds.
I'm on western arc, but TheKrell brings up a perfect point. My satellites are directly out my front door. My dish is secured to my chimney (Yes Mr. Haller, for over 20 years! ) that is toward the rear of my house and can't be easily seen from the street.What's wrong with a dish mounted on the back roof ? This is what I did.
It will be with the advent of satellite broadband.
I most certainly do not swear that chupacabra exists! I have bad news for the bigfoot believers as well. Some hair supposedly from a bigfoot turned out to be from a deer.

The roof is tin and about 100 years old.
AT&T is stuck . Sure, they probably would like to spin it off . But, they paid 49? billion for Directv and are a long way from writing off what is a major loss.
They can carry it on the books for a long time and not have to take a hit by recognizing the bad mistake they made when doing the deal.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's OK. Just point the antenna at the satellites, and not the roof.
Well, DirecTV wouldn't install a dish on it due to its construction, so I doubt Dish would.
Haven’t I seen Chupacabra on a menu somewhere?

If they're in the Durham area and don't have an exceptionally tall house, the ~44+ degree EA elevation could work from a backyard pole mount.
I failed to say what I meant. I think installers can use an eaves or soffit or fascia mount and avoid penetrating the tin roof.
It shouldn't make much difference unless trees are a concern.They are in Morris, NY.
There are some tall oaks to work around.It shouldn't make much difference unless trees are a concern.
How about a non-penetrating mount setting on the roof, with a rubber blanket under it to prevent movement?There are some tall oaks to work around.
8K TVs MIGHT be mainstream by the mid 2020s but I would wager dollars-to-donuts that 8K streaming will NOT be mainstream. You might see some sporting events and select cultural events in 8K but mainstream? I think not. We have to get to routine 4K streaming first, or do you expect to just skip that step? Content is king and 8K content is nowhere to be found.It might be a little too soon to get excited about Starlink. I calculated that if all 12000 satellites are in place it only allows for 8 million viewers to watch 4K at any one time. Since those won't be in place until the mid 2020s, 8K TVs will be mainsteam by then (available now for $$$)
Providers need not run for the hills yet.

8K was an after thought. But will 4k even be mainstream by 2024? There are a lot of 4k set selling in spite of meager content.8K TVs MIGHT be mainstream by the mid 2020s but I would wager dollars-to-donuts that 8K streaming will NOT be mainstream.
