If you don't know about Roku, you need to know. It will save you dollars, eliminating Dishnet, Direct TV and all the others. For about 50 dollars for a reg TV or 100 dollars for HD TV you can have hundreds of movies of all kinds. All you have to do is buy the Roku box at Walmart or where ever. Also you can pick the movies you want to watch. It simply plugs into the back of your tv. A one time buy. My Direct TV bill was over a hundred dollars a month. For 40 dollars I have an internet service, Nexflex, Amazon, Hulu that are loaded with movies and TV shows. Westerns and other movies and tv shows that go back as far as the thirties. With an outside antenna I have about 30 local channels from about 150 miles away This antenna will plug in the old disc line running into your house. You need no more disc. There are many free channels also. This is all over the cable channels. What find cheap entertainment.

I bought an LG Smart TV and it does the same thing. You can also buy Smart DVD players. I watch a lot of Netflix and Hulu Plus.

Jetson I bought it for the family for Christmas. I dropped Dish, saved a lot and so far everyone is happy. There are some limitations but I think it will expand. Hulu has many old TV series shows like Star Trek, Bonanza and many others I was surprised.

For you western buffs. There is the old movies from the forties and fifties that come free with the Roku box, such as Johnny Mack Brown, Eddie Dean, Bob Steele, Cisco Kid and Pancho, Buster Crabb, Tex Ritter, Hoot Gibson, Tim McCoy, Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, The Lone Ranger and many more. Also, oodles of other movies you can pick and watch any time you want to. My Dish net was showing the same movies over and over and I was so glad, when I turned to Roku. These come free. This is worth investigating. No I don't make nothing telling you about Roku. I'm just a good guy. Also their is some channels you can buy for 1.99 a year, 2.99 a year. I said a year. Yes,
Try one, if don't like, just cancel it. Only will be a 1 months charge.
My grandson gave me a Roku. I don't watch much TV but I like movies. Dish was costing me a fortune and I really wasn't watching that much. I love this thing.

There is also an outside antenna you can buy, that hooks up to your outside antenna, that picks up all your local stations. Just remove the wire off your cable disc on the outside and hook to your old disc cable
We love ROKU !!! We disconnected everything else went back to VHF and UHF antennas.
We do not watch TV but the news is important occasionally.
