We cancelled DirecTV in 2008. They called daily for weeks, trying to entice us back with bogus *special deals*. I still get a monthly snail mail plea from them. The manager I spoke with was also snotty.
Will never go back. We are in a valley and get poor OTA reception, but Netflix w/Roku for streaming and 1 DVD at a time and Hulu Free on my monitor, plus You Tube, are all we need. News online and various conservative talk on the radio. Do not miss the sat TV at all.
Yup and you should check out http://www.crackle.com/ also!
