I am wondering if I could get a breakdown of total cost for Flex Pack, with DVR and locals, one receiver only, then possibly the cost to add a second (but probably wouldn't do that). Just a rough estimation, I'm in Nebr. I did a search and didn't see anything recent, probably missed it. Things like added receiver/DVR fees, regional sports fees, etc. without having to give Dish my info first. Thanks.
tl;dr
Currently have Directv after having Dish 12? or so years ending about 2011, and C-band before that. I've been "arguing" with Direct every year to get it to $60 or less. This year looks like it's hit or miss according to the forums, haven't done it yet, so I'm looking at options in negotiations, if they won't deal, it's cancelled and I'll switch. This is mostly for my 83 year old mother that can't do much but watch tv. She watches mostly the History Channel, Discovery, DIY, and the locals (can't get with an antenna by any means, no towers in range of boosted antenna on tower, just PBS). And the only internet available is Verizon Wireless or satellite, although I do have a plan for Verizon that works. None of the streaming packages match what she watches. Youtube TV misses History, add in another like Philo for that and the cost is about what Dish is (plus adds another service to figure out for her). Hulu Live doesn't really work practically if you don't have access to a fixed home connection, they use that for local eligibility. Sling TV doesn't include locals (if the plain services like Hulu or Netflix did, I'd consider them instead). Etc.
