Tired of fricking Cox. Only other option for internet where I live though is Eatel. Had issues with them in the past, which is why we switched to DirecTV at my old house. Still need internet though and Uverse isn't available. Already have Fire sticks around the house with Kodi. I had bought an attic mount antenna a while back, but haven't installed it yet. Really interested in DirecTV Now though since I've seen a few threads on it. Anyone have issues with that on Eatel? Also, does anyone use Mohu or ClearStream for local channels?

You may be, but there the best internet provider there is. I don't know about Eatel but I'm stuck with ATT for the web and it's terrible.

If Cox is the best internet provider, the bar is pretty low.

I have Eatel internet with no problems. Fast and good customer service.

Getting gigabit service with them after new house is built.

Eatel is easily the best in the area, if you can get them.

I don't see why you'd have issues with Eatel. Can't really say much on the antenna because I went the attic route with a generic Radio Shack antenna and quad tuner for Plex live OTA/DVR.

I have Eatel and PlaystationVue. No problems with the internet service. One good thing with Eatel is that there is no data cap. Vue covers all the channels I watch, plus DVR for $45 a month.

I have Playstation Vue and use the lowest Internet from AT&T. Outside of a few buffering issues, it works just fine. $40 a month for Internet and $45 for Vue. Don't regret cutting the cord.

I have EATEL. No issues other than after two yrs the service costs go thru the roof like all other providers. Only way to keep cable/internet budgeted is to switch companies every two yrs.

Don't get DirecTV Now get PS Vue. There are minimal buffering issues and the DVR is already in service.
