I hooked up that antenna on my existing satellite pole on ground level on the south side of my house. I was able to use the existing coax going into the house and hooked it to my antenna. I had pretty low expectations since my house would block the line of sight to the towers but I am pretty excited to say that I was able to easily pull in all of the major channels and then some. We'll see if my great reception is still there during a heavy rainstorm or snow fall but I am pretty thrilled given I spent 5 minutes to hook this thing up on existing hardware.
Good to know. I love how satellites claim to be 99.9% reliable. When we used to have Directv, any heavy rain or snow messed with our reception. Pretty crappy given how much of a premium you pay for Directv.Weather affects my antenna reception VERY little. Satellites are the ones that get affected the most by weather.

Mine works perfect. Takes a couple seconds after you change the channel to "crisp up" the picture, then good to go.Anyone else ever had problems with Sling. Probably my crappy internet but everything else is working. I go to watch something on Sling on Roku or my Laptop and the thing just spins.
Anyone know which streaming channel is closer to live streaming: BTN2Go via Roku or BTN on Playstation Vue via Roku? Thanks
I'll go the PS Vue route then. Thanks!It's been my experience that PS Vue is faster (closer to live) compared to watchespn or fs2go.
Based on that article it appears most college athletic departments better get ready to operate on significantly less money after 2021.http://www.outkickthecoverage.com/e...cribers-worst-month-in-company-history-102916
It will interesting to see how this plays out over the next few years. I will still pick up sling for BB season as long as it stays at $25 with sports pack.
AT&T threw their hat into the cord cutting ring today, announcing DirecTV Now.
$35/month for 100 channels, which weren't specified.
Supposed to be available in November.

If this allows multiple streams like PS Vue, I'd give it a try, since I'm currently paying $35/mo for Vue.
The fact that AT&T and DirecTV are planning for TV-over-Internet to be "the primary TV platform by 2020" shows that a huge shift is coming to the industry, and fast. Hopefully the Big 12 adapts to it best.

And it's not just sports channels, ESPN's in infinitely worse shape than any other cable network out there too because it makes more than any other channel off the current business model and because those channels don't have the billions in fixed costs that ESPN does. If CNN makes less money on subscriber revenue, they can spend less on news gathering. If AMC makes less money in subscriber fees, they'll pay for fewer shows, but ESPN's entire business is predicated on the billions they owe for sports rights every year into the foreseeable future. ESPN made a bet that exclusive live sports rights would be the moat that protected its castle from all attackers. The problem is this, that moat flooded the castle instead.
