[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 572824, member: 1233"] here we can only get one company for tv unless you get satellite tv. You can get internet through the tv company or at&t or sprint or whatever, but those end up being a LOT mroe expensive. When we lived even further out than our old house for those 3 mos or so, we had no tv, no phone but cell phones and no internet. The internet was the big problem because husband teaches computer stuff. so he spent about 3-4hrs a day at the local bookstore and his cafe bill was HUGE. Esp because he took the kids and got them hooked on mocha frapps. He would then gritch about the cost and I would laugh and laugh at him. You can watch the current season's shows on many of the network's websites. Xfinity.com also has most of them and is far more reliable than CBS (CBS has a terrible internet setup for videos - very glitchy). You can't get every show, but you can get many of them. They may only be available for a week or two, but the new episodes don't run that often on tv anyway. We looked into satellite internet and ti was going to be about $230 per month AFTER some federal grant paid the setup and equip fees. This was the CHEAPEST. THe so called unlimited mobile hotspots would only run 1 computer and husband and are both comp junkies. The $230 was also for EACH computer. It was one of the major reasons we moved into town. Now we don't pay nearly that, and we don't spend a fortune on gas either. More for shopping and books, lol! [/QUOTE]
