Question for fellow tech folks out there. I have a client for my computer repair company who is interested in "external antennas for cable TV". Keep in mind this is a much older client in a retirement community with corresponding technical skills, so I'm kind of extrapolating her needs - her email to me read in part, "some folks here have some kind of external antennas that you put in the window, I don;t know but I am paying bundle for 215 channels that I rarely watch." I, in turn, rarely watch TV of any kind, so again, I'm trying to figure out what is wanted or needed and where to point her to. Anyone have any ideas?

📺 Turns out even a $1 TV dinner costs too much these days! DirecTV backed out of buying Dish Network when that dollar store deal came with a $9.75B side of debt. Curiosity killed the deal when bondholders said "no thanks" to losing billions. Another plot twist in the great streaming wars! 🍽️ #TVMysteries #SatelliteTV

I reduced my DirecTV package last night (saving us $100 a month!) but there's no good way to remove all the channels I no longer get from the guide. Selecting "Channels I get" included *700* channels on a package that "only" gets 140, which is just stupid. I had to go through by hand with an empty favorites list and add all the channels that we do get, checking the list on my computer. 😒

The US government has issued its first ever fine to a company for leaving space junk orbiting the Earth.
"The Federal Communications Commission fined Dish Network $150,000 (£125,000) for failing to move an old satellite far enough away from others in use.
"The company admitted liability over its EchoStar-7 satellite and agreed to a "compliance plan" with the FCC."

Decided to finally remove the #Freesat #satelliteTV box and #bluray player, both being added to the "obsolete" AV equipment pile that I can't quite part with! Neither have been used for probably a year now.
Sign of the times - TV is primarily on-demand, with the remaining bit of #Freeview streamed via #Emby which also handles Blu-rays, DVDs, and music. Saying that, I might think about an OTA aerial feed direct to the TV, just in case!
