Why?

You're speaking a language I can't even begin to comprehend. And I'm not even a Luddite.

Duke, just buy a roku box and a subscription to plex/netflix/amazon prime.

I've been cable free for years.

I have a 30yr career in radio and television..and I approve this message. I used to feel guilty, but then my brother-in-law reminded me that I grew up a Punk, and I should rejoice in using the carcass of society for sustenance.

That's how we build cars around here, too.

Remember these are the same people that think removing all tactile feedback from the controls in a car is a good way to simply things. Buttons are very very expensive apparently.

I'm waiting for them to say "We'll make the first payment on your new car if you get the ad service." I want to see how many people take them up on it.

And this is why my truck is 20 years old. Even if I wasn't a broke ass dirtball.

AT&T does 4g different tech

All the more reason to keep my old van running. I wonder if the aftermarket will come up with products to defeat this kind of thing. If there's a market of people with a demand and spending cash (which I would assume they have, since it's a new car purchase) someone will sell something.

AT&T and TMobile both used HSPA+ initially for their 4G, but now both use LTE in addition to HSPA+. TMobile is just now turning on LTE though.

Sprint's first "4G" was WiMax, but it too switched to LTE.
