Set TV

You simply can't get a better deal.  I have been using now for over four months.  I have paid $20 a month and have not missed Direct TV and the $180 bill one bit.  If you want to save money, get a FireStick and download this.  You will be enjoying tv for much less in five minutes.

Below is simply a review after four months of usage.

Pro

•   $20 a month. Right now we pay over $150 a month for Direct TV.  I'm going to cancel that if Set continues to just maintain the status quo I've had with them the past 30 days. You get three codes which means good on three TV's.  Get rid of that "extra" box fee.  Right now I pay $55 for three months.  
• A wide variety of channels. HBO, Showtime, MLB channels, NFL, Fox, Fx.  I can go on and on but it easily has every channel I possibly want to watch. During baseball I watched my favorite team, the Cardinals, every game. Right now I am watching every NFL and every NHL game I want.  I admit I do not watch the NBA, though I could.  On Direct those services bring a hefty surcharge. All included.  If you are a sports nut, it's worth $20 just for THESE channels. 
• Still on in bad weather. As long as my internet is running strong it's all good.
• Great on demand list. This is both TV and Movies. If you miss the premiere of something like Game of Thrones on HBO, which you get, for whatever reason it is usually on demand the next day. I admit I usually watch stuff when it happens so this is not something I claim to be an expert on.
• This bears repeating. All the sports channels you can ever want. MLB, NFL, NHL, NBA, SKY, BEIN, ESPN....cricket, rugby, racing,. It's absolutely incredible. 
• Customer service has greatly improved.  By that I mean when I first ordered it took a few hours to get codes.  Just yesterday I helped a friend sign up, codes were given right away.  Very impressed.  

Cons.  Yes there are some.  Just as with any service you choose.  You can find something wrong.  

• There is an "on-demand" section. Basically all seasons of just about every show I personally watch.  At first this was working flawlessly but lately there have been "no video content" labels on many.  It appears quite random as I've had luck with some but not others. For those that are use to a DVR this might be an issue. My wife doesn't particularly like it but she usually ends up finding ONE of the thirty shows she watches working. I find it a nuisance but for $20 a month I can live with it. 
• No live local channels. I've got an antenna since so I can now watch my local news. That's really all I got it for. 
• Sometimes the guide is not matched up with what is on. HBO West said it was showing Game of Thrones but it was Transformers.  Again, something I can live with. 
• If watching live cable no pause feature.  I will admit I do like this about a Direct TV. 
• Some channels not HD. All of the ones I watch are but scrolling through I've noticed a few are not.
