I got rid of Direct TV last year when I had my roof redone - new shingles. I keep getting notices in the snail mail saying we miss you - yeah right you miss the $$$$.
Their dish is no longer on my roof as I swapped out to Dish Network, love the lower rate now that is locked in till 2013, the same channels I was getting with Direct TV, and only one box! Not 3!
I have 3 other tv's on regular old antennas, and get 15 - 20 channels on those.
