Any options for those who cannot get OTA?
and there is still the True Blood question.. (this is dead in the water if wife can't get HBO series)
Legal and/or hassle free sources? None.
I was about to cut the cord on Dish when they offered me $12.95/mo for very basic service that includes all major networks/PBS, a few random HGTV, food type channels, EPIX and a few other older movie channels but does not include ESPN, regional FOX sports or CNN. I also get continuing use of my VIP722, which is a great DVR (I used Tivo for a long time and the VIP722 is better in some ways).
I can add HBO for $16/mo but I find that with all the free HBO, cinemax, starz promotions that come around, I really don't need it since I have Netflix IW and a media player with lots of ripped content that I haven't gotten around to watch.
