I’ve gotten used to no ads but it’s still less than what over the air puts in. On the shows I watch the ads have been 15-45 seconds. Since I save $ using prime for purchases I will not drop it but do not like the ads. I’ve started watching some shows I used to watch on prime on other platforms, even if I have to pay. <div><br></div><div>The GetChannels DVR skips ads on OTA which works pretty good so I’m even more aware of the streaming ads such as Acorn.

<div><font face="Segoe UI">AT&T contacted me saying they are doing away with my U-verse service. They offered Directv stream as my best option...cheaper, faster and with 300 mg internet...</font></div>
<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>
<div><font face="Segoe UI"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Segoe UI">Now upon install I find that channels that were included with Uverse ...i.e. Hallmark, HGTV, Food Network, Fox news and others (all my wife's favorites)</font></div>
<div><font face="Segoe UI">were not included but only supplied as a subscribed service at anywhere between 5 and 10 bucks a month...</font></div>
<div><font face="Segoe UI"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Segoe UI">Looking for alternatives to Roku device or other way to get those channels included... Cable is a no-go We only have Spectrum locally and it's mostly down</font></div>
<div><font face="Segoe UI">all the time</font></div>
