Anyone use Orby TV?

[FONT=&quot]My parents are currently paying like $130 for satellite and only watch about 8 channels. They live in a to rural area for internet TV options and are looking into Orby TV which is a satellite service that gets your local channels and most network (TNT,USA and others) minus the sports channels which they never watch anyways....Orby is only $40 a month for about 50 channels. Just wondered if anyone had any reviews before they make the switch? Thxs in advance!

Looked at it and then balked cause the way I understand Orby is the "free" local channels are still OTA which utilizes an OTA antenna and if you couldn't receive them well enough before Orby you ain't gonna after. Am I incorrect?

You're correct.

Orby's lower prices reflect the lack of big networks, and swings back to the model of just cable content.



And for $130 you can buy a darn powerful antenna.

Network wise the biggest thing your not getting with Orby is the ESPN's and sports channels. You still get the TBS, TNT,USA and yata yata
