Frugal and Energy Efficient Living

It was quite the surprise to see how high def our high def tvs can really be!

According to USPS tracking, the Roku 2 from Sling TV is now at the local post office for pickup which I'll get tomorrow morning.

I called Dish Network to cancel my subscription but according to the lady I spoke to, a change in my contract had been made in September of 2014 so my two year obligation started again then. But she said I can send one of the receivers back and can change my programming to the basic package which will reduce my cost to $20.00 a month (till I can cancel my service altogether at the end of September). This I did and since I have a Dish satellite antenna at the small house in town, I brought the receiver and remote there so when the wife and I stay there, we'll have tv. At least till the end of September.

So my monthly savings, at least till fall, is only going to be about $30.00 a month but it's still a savings and every dollar adds up.
