Iffy. The TiVo im using I bought a couple weeks before 9/11. How many other appliances last that long?
My home air conditioner. Lasted from 1976 (new house install) until 2015. Furnace still going strong... |

I don’t share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently. I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

I don't know if the email is legit; I haven't gotten one of these.
A confirmation of sorts... DirecTV is phasing out Standard Definition, so the loss of local channels is collateral damage. If I were just going to loose the locals I wouldnt care thanks to a newfangled thing called an antenna (and if you live in Tornado Alley you should really have an antenna) but at&t is just going to let the old satellites fall out of the sky (looking at you, China) and go all HD and 4K, etc. |

Sold the grandparents home about 2008-2009 or so.... still had the original Sears A/C system working from when the house was built in 1957 (21st and Memorial area - just before Hale High opened). Couple years later, I drove by and noticed there was new unit installed. I really was hoping for mine to match the performance of that machine, but sadly, it was not meant to be! Points to the slow, inexorable, degradation and slide of American manufacturing over the years! |

DirecTV pulled the plug on the Standard Definition satellites finally. Time to put the TiVo that has been working flawlessly since the week before 9/11 out to pasture.
The cloud-based DVR function on DirecTV NOW isnt quite the same as having a physical hard drive with your favorites patiently waiting to be browsed.

TULSA, Okla. (KTUL) — Millions of AT&T U-verse, DIRECTV and AT&T TV NOW (formerly DIRECTV NOW) subscribers in 86 markets are at risk of losing access to 136 television stations (including popular ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, CW And MyNet-affiliates) and Tennis Channel, due to AT&T’s unwillingness to negotiate fair market carriage licenses with Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc. Who wastes their data allowance watching local channels when compact antennas are cheap and plentiful? |

We have two home offices, and have the unlimited plan. I did have an allowance on my ATT cell phone, but changed that recently. I've decided it's best for me to just bite the bullet and go with an unlimited plan. |

Data allowance is supposed to be waived for $10 or free if you have TV service. |
