Yeah but the average poster here always blames the provider. Pretty good position for Disney. People cancel in droves over a channel that Disney pulled off DirecTV demanding more money. Once the cancellations start, (insert streaming/cable company here) has to pony up. Then they just pass the increase onto their subscribers


Same thing happened last year with Spectrum. Spectrum was refusing to require bundling with Disney +. frick Disney.

I'm honestly surprised that people still pay for Directv.

Anyone with directTv deserves it at this point. Too many good alternatives out there. Youtube TV, Fubo, ect.


frick off.

I live basically off the the grid with no internet access to avoid the bullshite of crime, people and neighborhoods.

I hope Directv tells those woke fricks to frick off.

Anywhere that’s been getting AT&T fiber has lots of people signing up for direct tv stream. They pair it together in sales often. I just canceled for YT TV.

Direct Stream has Bally Sports though - Braves / Hawks

So many dudes here don’t realize DTV streaming is what most are talking about, which is a YTTV competitor and the only way to get some Bally sports.

All AT&T based television services-- DirectTV and Uverse-- have lost them.


Luckily our local ABC picked up the ESPN broadcast. Time to cancel the UVerse.

You tube is what I got when I left Direct tv. I am well pleased with that move.

Looking at Hulu live. I’m one of those 90s DIRECTV dinosaurs, but I love the big chunky remote so suck it.

If your ABC station is an O & O, you won’t have it. If it’s independently owned, you will still see ABC.

Every carrier that uses their content will have their turn in the barrel. Disney will make loss profits this way, holding the carriers hostage and making the consumer pay. Wish Musk would buy ESPN..LOL

YTTV is great. You won't go back. Multiview, unlimited DVR, Library, etc. And just 79 bucks all in.


When I switched years ago it was only 35 bucks. Now it’s almost as much as DIRECTV…sheesh
