    You can get a Firestick or a Roku, I have both. You can download all kinds of outdoor apps or watch youtube shows on your TV. I'll never pay another cable bill. I keep Hulu or Sling during football and basketball season then cancel it.

    We cut the cord a dozen years ago,partially due to finances,partly due to all the junk.I get my outdoor fix from U-Tube mostly,Hulu,and Pluto fill in the gaps.

    We just got rid of Dish 2 weeks ago after 13 years. $113 a month, don't sound too bad but 13 years?? Over $17,000 for TV What a waste. Have had both You Tube TV and Hulu Live. (Not at same time) My main thing was baseball so do a search on which one has what you want. Neither one has much for crappie fishing but like stated You Tube has all you need. I like You Tube TV better for ease of getting around and they have unlimited DVR but they dropped Fox Sports Midwest (Cardinals Games) 2 weeks after I got it, so switched to Hulu Live TV. They have a limited amount of DVR space but more outdoor shows. $5 higher than You Tube TV. Best thing is your only tied into any of them for a month at a time. Good Luck! You won't regret dropping themWe also have a Roku stick and there is tons of free stuff on there to watch.

    I live out in the country and surrounded by trees on every side except east-ne side of house.. I do have DISH TV and internet but they suck big time, 200.00 a month last 5 yrs for the same crap over and over just on a different channel every month.Internet sucks also.
    Any of you guys live out where hardly anything is available, no DSL available, no ATT wireless etc..
    Have a 4k Smart TV but not getting much use out of it.. what if anything can I do to get rid of Dish?
    thanks for any help, about to drive myself crazy trying to figure all this stuff out.

    Consider giving up TV entirely
    I did it about 12 years ago and dont miss it at all.
    Everything we need is available on computer including the good fishing shows.
    If you have small kids or other small minds to deal with it might be a bit harder to pull off

    We cut the cord about a decade ago.
    We get roughly 15 Over the Air (OTA) channels.
    Plus we subscribe to Netflix and Hulu and Amazon Prime. I spend more time on youtube than anything else. Careful with youtube though. You can intend to watch one 30 minute episode and 3 hours later you have to pee.
    We are considering dropping Amazon as well. We're finding out they aren't lowest cost on products, and the expediated shipping is meaningless to us. We plan ahead.

    Hulu here and we do like it, but it's an absolute necessity to have good internet connection. We experience brief interruptions occasionally and it can be a PIA while watching a ball game or other live event.


    like others we have Prime and Netflix. Total costs less than half of what I paid to Direct. I think Direct is a sinking ship as AT&T, owns Direct, is now offering their own internet streaming service.

    Ohhhh, never thought of watching a ball game on Hulu. Where do you go to find them?
