Cutting the Cord Dropping Cable Or Directv

Cutting the Cord My Story on Dropping DirecTV Pete Keefe August 2017 Situation • DirecTV on main and secondary TV (+tax) – Programming - $60/mo – DVR - $10/mo – HD - $10/mo – Whole Home DVR - $3/mo – Secondary TV - $8/mo – Protection - $6/mo • Secondary TV only used 1-2 hours per week • Whole Home DVR (record on either, playback on either) per DirecTV programming schedule – i.e., record program-A (new episodes or any episodes) when ever it plays Cutting the Cord • I bought antenna (fancy rabbit ears) from Amazon (includes amplifier) $18 – Amplifier uses USB power adapter – I just placed behind mirror – No attempt to check reception in other positions • But 2005 LCD TV did not support digital signal • Then I bought Digital Converter Box $33 – Has own remote control – Connects to HDMI on TV (or RCA or coax) – Scans for and remembers available channels – Can pause / resume via DVR functionality – DVR records by time to optional USB thumb drive Channels I receive Channel Station Notes 18-001 KLRU-HD PBS Austin 18-002 KLRU-CR 18-003 KLRU-Q 18-004 PBSKids 24-001 KVUE-DT ABC 24-002 KVUE-TV Spanish 24-003 KVUE-3 36-001 KXAN-DT NBC 36-002 COZI 36-003 ION 42-001 KEYE-DT Marginal reception CBS 42-002 NEYE-TV Spanish, Marginal Channels (con’t) Channel Station Notes 46-001 KNCT-DT PBS Killeen 46-002 PBSKids 46-003 Create 54-001 KNVA-HD CW 54-002 GRIT 54-003 LAFF 62-001 KAFW-DT Spanish Fort Worth 62-002 KTFO-CD Spanish 62-003 GETTV 62-004 Escape antennaweb.org says I should be able to get 46 channels vs. 22 actually seen N.B., Reception quality varies by time of day, local weather What I might add • Amazon FireStick or Roku Express with apps on secondary TV – Will need to free the one HDMI port on TV by moving digital signal converter to use composite video cables – Netflix - $8/mo (I already have for main TV) – Acorn - $5/mo (I already have for main TV) – Sling for networks - $20-30/mo ++ extra bundles [if first two months prepaid then get a Roku Express free?] .

Marketplace. KNVA Became a WB Affiliate and Provided an Outlet For
- 17 - marketplace. KNVA became a WB affiliate and provided an outlet for numerous other programs which otherwise would have been available only on cable, including Texas Rangers and San " Antonio Spurs games. Additionally, KNVA initiated weekday newscasts and the only over-the-air Spanish language community 17 affairs show in the market. / Equally as important, it also broadcasts Kids Ideas, a locally produced children's talk show featuring Chelsea Hernandez, the 12 year old hispanic female host. It also provided 3 hours of free political programming. The LMA also enhanced competition by increasing the number of advertising spots in the market by approximately 45% during prime time and 25% overall. III. LMA STATION OPERATIONS ARE IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST. LIN has invested approximately $130 million dollars in the five LMAs described above, about $50 million in technical facilities alone and approximately $25 million in programming rights. LIN is also obligated to over $50 million in future programming rights and other operational commitments. LIN estimates that these LMAs have created or preserved approximately 165 jobs, annually injected more than $6.5 million in compensation into these five television markets, and paid more than $2.0 million in payroll taxes which would not be paid but for the existence of the LMAs. 2/ There are other similar hispanic shows on cable and an LPTV station. - 18 - More pertinent to the FCC's objectives, there simply cannot be any question but that these stations have substantially enhanced both competition and diversity in these five local markets. Each of the L~~s generates more than 120,000 new advertising availabilities each year.
