There is a fee for the service - which we share with our son-in-law. The one downside is we are halfway between Raleigh & Greensboro, North Carolina. Depending on where our internet cable makes its connection our local channels vary between the two cities. I haven't figured out how to make it choose one or the other. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">EjR </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Mar 22, 2024 at 12:20 PM Jim Stone <<a href="mailto:1789alpine@gmail.com">1789alpine@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto">We tried several streaming services and switched to YouTubeTV 4 or 5 years ago.

<div><font face="Segoe UI">sounded good.</font></div>
<div><font face="Segoe UI"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Segoe UI">Then for my local stuff and other their suggested a Roku device. Bought 3.</font></div>
