We downgraded our programming with DirectTV and they made it sound so good - now we have less than nothing to watch - newschannels - sports channels which we are not into - no public broadcasting network at all - and it seems the bill keeps increasing - so out the door with them!! We are planning to go back to the antennae - watch local channels which I think number 4 or 5 of them - and if there is nothing on to watch - it is still free!!! Not in the $50 range for basic tv which we ordered when we down graded! I'd say Direct tv "screwed" themselves this time!!! Sorry folks for those how enjoy their viewing through them - we don't.......
