cravnravn Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Since 2000 we've had Direct TV, and just recently Incorporated U-VERSE into our bill. The time has come, Direct TV won't budge on their pricing and has priced me out of their market. We have nothing special with our programming and its over 210 a month..So I called them this morning and they couldn't do nothing to lower the bill. NFL ticket charges kick in next month, had them cancel that. hope Bright House comes through for us at half the cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsylvester Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I am surprised people still use direct or sat tv. Is it still one dish per box and one box per tv?Jeepers, fios and comcast are so much cheaper, especially when you play them against each other... Plus, the picture is better and more reliable.

As had AT&T but needed to go to something less expensive.Plus got back the NFL Sunday Ticket.Well that's what got me wanting to change, I guess it was 4 years ago direct TV did away with their early bird special. I would start paying for the ticket in May, so I'd be done with paying for it in September.I f you did early bird, they would wave a payment so it wasn't bad. Now they don't start til September, no early bird and you're paying on it til March. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it really does suck this time if the year there are daily thunder and lightening storms interrupting the signal on a daiky basis, I especially hate that when I'm DVRing a program.

GrubberRaven Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I almost cut the cord, but when I called up, they lowered my bill by $50 mth. Would have been the same price. Look into Playstation Vue where you live as it allows you to get local TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPPT1974 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Just DVR over on the Direct TV the HBO series "Hard Knocks!" But glad to be back with Direct TV to be honest with you all. Missed the Sunday Ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cravnravn Posted August 28, 2016 Author Share Posted August 28, 2016 Done deal, I've cancelled all the prime channels with Direct TV, I was starting to get real nervous as the season approached, then my eldest son turned me onto the Fire Stick thru Amazon.I ordered it, it came Friday and we installed it on the TV.and wala, I got movies, football, baseball, we still searching for horse racing..Not bad for 39.99, my downside is pre season is not in HD.
