Getting rid of 2 joeys and hooking-up an Amazon Fire Stick and Fire TV box. Save $14 a mos. in Joey rentals.  Can access everything on Dish app. 

One step at a time lol! I'll see how much else we can pickup with other streaming and apps as we progress.

All I know is the Dish bill has gotten way too high. 

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

The last month or so has been a little bit of a pain in the a$$ with addons going down and changing repositories,but the money saved is well worth the time involved to keep it running.  Papa,do you use one of the paid services for live tv? 


No, I use an OTA antenna for live TV.  mainly use if for movies and tv shows.  GOT etc...
I also have a slingbox at my Mother in law's and she has Direct TV so if I need to watch something live and it's not on in Pella then I can tune into that.

I'm doing the same thing. DirecTV and Comcast are freaking nuts. Thieves.
