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

Of course, having their AT&T TV (formerly known as "DirecTV NOW") doesnt count. They just dont disclose that.

Ive had AT&T TV Now since it was known as DirecTVNOW, and was grandfathered into a really good legacy package that offered channels I watch that their new packages dont include (like AMC, BBC America, etc).

This week that appears to have ended (at least for me) because it looks like they killed grandpa.

Cant log in, but it appears im still going to be billed.
Numerous chat Agents have walked me thru password reset after password reset, each promising it will work this time and in the end offering $5 credits and a follow-up email that never arrives.   

Its a shame because they finally got their cloud DVR working a bit closer to a TiVo (like being able to see what you are fast-forwarding thru) and a decent grid guide that lets you see ahead 2 hours withut having to scroll.

Initially it looked like an issue with Roku but with the runaround from at&t its not clear where the problem lay, and since at&t is overly-focused on hawking its overpriced HBO NOW, it looks like a sinking ship.

A follow-up:
Got rid of AT&T TV NOW and went with Sling for half the price AT&T was charging. 
Not as polished a DVR function and many channels dont allow pause, rewind or fast-forward.

Those credits the Agents promised? Never materialized. 
DirecTV was a good product, but there is no way I could recommend it now under the rule of Ma Bell.

That should help a lot!  AT&T is a big 'suck'.  Hope it happens soon.

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.

Got one of those rotating antennas from the place where you can get all kinds of atmosphere.

Not supposed to pick up a weaker station on the outer sides of the fringe of Tulsa, but with this little outdoor job, it is capable of picking it up.

Can get almost 60 channels OTA.

I am finally turning my attention to cutting the cord - cable has pushed my last button so now will dump that sorry garbage.

A few years ago, I found a guy named Danny S Hodges making OTA antennas and showing you how to do it, or even selling a kit for DIY.  That is where I am gonna start...make my own!
