Our receiver is definitely shot. I've tried everything. But after the interaction with Dish I got to thinking,I'm paying them plus I pay for Netflix and Hulu. I started thinking about how much do I actually watch t.v. and how much of it is just habit. Just so used to having tv from cable or satellite that it's a given. Everything I like to watch I can find streaming. I think I'm going to use this week as a trial run of having no satellite and see how we like it. We don't watch the news,don't like sports,and only watch a few shows and the rest is movies.
