Dish damn near doubled my bill and wanted a contract give me a decent price. I told them what to do with their dish.

We got youtubetv on the rec of our daughter. We get most of the channels we got before including locals and a much sharper picture. I think with taxes it is $70/ month, but no contracts.

We also got Britbox as an add on for $7/month? I think. Mrs. Lib just loves it. Great comedies and mysteries + documentaries for me.
