We ditched Dish &/or DirectTV a few years ago. Their price kept climbing
(even though 'new' customers got a break) and the signal would be lost at
the mere prediction of rain.

We switched to Spectrum and tried their TV service. The connection was good
but again, the price kept climbing once we were no longer 'new'.

About a year ago we cancelled the Spectrum TV and now use You Tube TV.
There is a fee for the service - which we share with our son-in-law. The
one downside is we are halfway between Raleigh & Greensboro, North
Carolina. Depending on where our internet cable makes its connection our
local channels vary between the two cities. I haven't figured out how to
make it choose one or the other.
