Which is better? Traditional vs. Streaming: Every family’s needs are a little different, and your home internet and TV experience should be customizable to your preferences. If you’ve been using cable or satellite to watch all your regular content for as long as you can remember, maybe it’s time to consider the switch to streaming. Let's take a look at the benefits and drawbacks of traditional TV and streaming options to help you decide which might be best for you. What is streaming? Streaming video is the process of watching your favorite movies and shows via the internet, instead of a traditional cable or satellite TV connection. There are a variety of streaming platforms, including Netflix, Disney+, and Amazon Prime. These and others offer a wide selection of content in an accessible and user-friendly location. Streaming can simplify your viewing experience and provide access to more content than you might have had with cable or satellite TV. We’ll walk you through how to set up streaming in your home , but first, let’s consider some of the benefits of streaming your movies and shows. Benefits of Streaming: Streaming can save you money because you can be more selective about what you’re paying for. You can put your streaming accounts on hold when you’re not using them. If you use a platform to follow a sports team, you could put your payment plan on hold during the off-season. It’s easy to pause and recontinue these accounts, and it also helps save money! With SEI Fiber’s fast fiber internet, you don’t have to worry about interruptions or delays in your movie nights. Our reliable Wi-Fi connection will ensure a positive viewing experience for you and your family! When you stream, you don’t have to limit your viewing to your TV. Watch your favorite shows on any device, whether it’s on your phone at the gym or taking your tablet out to the porch. Wherever you have internet connection and a device, you’ll be able to log onto your streaming platform and press play! Streaming video also reduces the amount of time you spend watching commercials. Many of the most popular subscription streaming services let you watch your content commercial-free or include an option to skip the ads. Which Streaming Platforms Should I Choose? As the world moves from cable into streaming, more subscription services are becoming available. How do you choose which is best for you? Depending on what you like to watch, you may just need one or two subscriptions. Even if you want multiple subscriptions, you can often package them together to end up with a lower-cost result than cable TV. Here, we’ll explain each of the most popular streaming services and the factors you should take into consideration: There are two different kinds of streaming: On-Demand and live. With On-Demand, you can watch a selected movie or show whenever you like. Most On-Demand providers allow you to pause, play, fast-forward, rewind, or rewatch shows as often as needed. Live TV streaming lets you watch content like local news channels, sports, and TV shows live. Features such as video recording, pause, and rewind vary according to the provider. Some providers combine On-Demand and live streaming and allow you to watch live content real-time or after the initial broadcast. With some live TV streaming services, like DIRECTV Stream, Sling TV, and YouTube TV, you can record your favorite shows and store them in the cloud so that they're always available to you. We encourage you to do additional research to find the best streaming TV service for you. For instance, you can get a package deal that combines Hulu+ Live TV with Disney+ and ESPN+, for $69.99 a month. You can use many different add-ons to combine services and get the most out of your streaming experience. If you’re still hesitant, check out the available free trials. You never know if you’ll end up preferring streaming over cable TV. If you want an easy way to find the best streaming option for you, use our MyBundleTV tool for customized recommendations. Setting Up Streaming: Streaming video over your fiber internet is a quick and easy way to enjoy interruption-free entertainment anywhere in your house! What do you need? Fast and reliable internet (you can already check this one off if you have SEI Fiber) A streaming device such as: An Amazon Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, or Roku Streaming Stick that is connected to your TV and Wi-Fi. Streaming devices include a universal remote control to sync with your TV. A Smart TV that is connected to the internet. A tablet, laptop, or smartphone that is connected to Wi-Fi. Keep in mind that you don’t need all of these. Depending on your streaming needs, choose one that will work for you and enjoy! A subscription service to a streaming service or channel, as explained above. If you opt for a Smart TV or Roku stick, your platforms will be streamlined and even more user-friendly. With some Amazon Fire TV Stick remotes, you can use voice control through Alexa to search for a specific movie or show across all your subscription services at once. To ensure your TV receives a strong Wi-Fi signal, make sure your router is centrally located in your home. If you want to stream in a room that is far from your router and has a weaker signal, you may want to consider purchasing a Wi-Fi extender ! It will ensure that every corner of your home has a connection you can count on. With SEI Fiber’s new customized streaming tool, you’ll be able to submit your entertainment preferences and discover what streaming services would be recommended for you. You can even search your favorite TV shows to find new ways to watch them via streaming. Get started with MyBundleTV .

Grassroots Political engagement helps electric cooperatives continue to serve rural Indiana well. Grassroots advocacy is a crucial component. Why Politics Matter For most people, their electricity provider is just the company that keeps the lights on. But an electric cooperative’s relationship with its consumer-owners is different. Since the 1930s when Indiana’s electric cooperatives were formed, they’ve thrived because of the political engagement between their consumer-owners and local, state and federal governments. Indiana’s electric cooperatives advocate for rural Hoosiers like you on the state and federal levels so they can continue providing safe, reliable and affordable energy — and maintain the quality of life in rural communities. But electric cooperatives need your help in the process, too. Indiana’s electric cooperatives thrive when their consumer-owners stay politically engaged and advocate for policies that help cooperatives best serve their consumers. How can you do this? It all starts with grassroots activism. In the context of the electric cooperative program, "grassroots" is a powerful word. In fact, the historical success of the electric cooperatives can be credited to grassroots activism. The electric cooperative definition of “grassroots” is “electric cooperative activists — directors, managers, employees and consumer-owners — who take an active role in the political process to protect their cooperative from harmful legislation and regulation, as well as to promote the value of cooperative ownership to their legislators.” Grassroots involvement means communicating with your local, state and federal legislators on issues affecting electric cooperatives. Grassroots — the unified efforts and voices of the nation’s electric co-op supporters — has proven to be the foundation of the industry’s 85 years of success in serving electric co-ops, their owners and their communities. What does a Grassroot Advocate do ? By registering as an advocate for Indiana’s electric cooperatives, you will be kept up to date on major legislative and political utility issues at both the state and federal levels. You will receive monthly communication via email or text alert, ranging from educational pieces, surveys, story collections, and even calls to action. Grassroots advocates for Indiana’s electric cooperatives help keep rural Indiana strong and the cooperative voice heard. Advocates may also be called upon to contact their legislators and speak up for Indiana’s electric cooperatives. As a grassroots advocate, you will be on the front lines of keeping rural Hoosiers’ voices loud and strong. Sign up to be a Grassroots Advocate action.indianaec.org

Southeastern Indiana Rural Electric Membership Corporation ecobee Residential Smart Thermostat Program Agreement Thank you for your interest in the Southeastern Indiana Rural Electric Membership Corporation’s (“Cooperative”) Residential Smart Thermostat Program (“Program”), a service offered in partnership with ecobee, Ltd (“ecobee”), to help reduce the Cooperative’s kilowatt demand during critical periods (“Event”). The Program allows you to participate in a program for residential customers offered by the Cooperative using an ecobee3 lite* thermostat (“thermostat”). As part of the Program, customers will receive a personally optimized curtailment adjustment to the thermostat to reduce demand on the electric grid. With eco+ enabled, the temperature adjustment is an optimization algorithm that will be tailored to the customer’s savings preferences. An optimization algorithm is unique to each customer and is a combination of input from the customer (dictated by the comfort preference scale in the eco+ set up), thermodynamics of the home, performance of the HVAC system, Event length, pre-cool or pre-heat setting and occupancy patterns. At any time, the customer may opt out of an Event or override this automatic change simply by adjusting the thermostat to a different temperature or using the ecobee mobile application. Eligibility Requirements The Program is available to Cooperative residential electric members who meet certain eligibility requirements. In order to participate, you must: (a) be a Cooperative residential electric service active account holder; (b) have a reliable high-speed internet service at the Cooperative electric service address; (c) have an active ecobee account linked to your ecobee thermostat; and (d) agree to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. In addition, the Program is offered by the Cooperative for the summer season (June, July and August) and winter season (December, January and February), and requires an installed operable ecobee thermostat. During the summer season the ecobee thermostat must be controlling an air conditioning unit, and during the winter season the ecobee thermostat must be controlling any electric heat source, both at your Cooperative service address. Incentive(s) During the Program, Cooperative account holders participating in the Program are eligible to receive an ecobee3 lite* thermostat at no additional cost (“Incentive”) for enrolling and continued enrollment in the Program for at least two (2) years. The Cooperative will provide a $10 incentive for each of the summer months (June, July, August) and winter months (December, January, February) for participation in load shed events. The Cooperative may choose to develop and implement other incentive offers related to thermostat operation. If the Cooperative develops additional incentives, the account holder is eligible to participate in these future offers. The Cooperative will contact the account holder in the event additional offers become available. The Incentives are provided solely by the Cooperative. ecobee bears no responsibility for the Incentives. The Cooperative reserves the right to seek further information to verify your eligibility for the Incentives. If you opt out of a load shed event, you will not receive the incentive. Consistently opting out of load shed events within the first 2 years will result in termination from the program and you will be charged the cost of the ecobee device. * If you are currently enrolled in the Generac Generator Program you are ineligible for the ecobee Smart Thermostat Program. Agreement By submitting this Agreement, you agree that: ecobee may share certain information (including, but not limited to, your name, email address, service address, Cooperative account number, ecobee thermostat serial number, activation date, ecobee account status, operational data such as temperature set point, fan status, heating or cooling mode, compressor and fan runtimes, and opt-in or opt-out status) with the Cooperative and its third party program implementers, contractors, and/or agents to verify that you are eligible to participate in the Program, to implement the Program, and to evaluate the comprehensive energy impact of the ecobee thermostat. In addition, ecobee may share with the Cooperative your decision to opt out of Program or your deletion of your ecobee account, each of which will automatically result in the termination of your enrollment in Program. Member agrees to maintain network connectivity to the thermostat through Member’s high-speed internet service, and agrees, to the extent practical, to keep network connection in operating condition. Member agrees to be contacted by e-mail, text, mail, or telephone if, for any reason, Cooperative needs to verify connectivity, or member status.

You are using Program on a voluntary basis. You agree to participate in the Program in accordance with the ecobee Terms of Service, privacy policies and other policies on ecobee’s website (www.ecobee.com/legal/use/) and applicable laws and regulations. You release and hold harmless ecobee and the Cooperative from any liability, claim, demand, cause of action, damage or expense resulting from your participation in the Program.
