Hello Mike!

That does not bode well for people in more rural areas.  I  
suppose the alterative might be one of the LEO sat/internet  
systems like Starlink to satisfy that tv entertainment urge.

Personally, I think tv is overrated.

Many households in my region opted for sattv early on in the  
game when OTA analog started to drop and when C-Band started  
scrambling their feeds.

I really can't justify paying for TV at $100+ per month.
