Not even any warning??? That’s crappy customer service for sure.

Directv was a good deal until they got in bed with at@t and it was downhill from there.

I kicked directv to the curb last year......woulda been earlier than that if I coulda convinced my wife.

Went with a streaming service and have never looked back.

FUBOTV has Fox and Newsmax.....what they DON’T carry is the Turner network which was a selling point for me......also has many sports channels.

After Newsmax treated Lindell like crap and their endless shilling for Ukraine and the GOPe, Boo freaking Hoo.

We got rid of Directv a couple of months ago after having it for years. They charge too much.

I changed to DISH about one year ago. Direct TV is an unreliable provider. Support sucks and they are definitely WOKE. DISH is an excellent provider.

Big money making moves to deplatform Conservatives again?

Parallel economy is the only way out here.

I left DirecTV also. The trouble with DirecTV and Dish is that the only “packages” you can afford these days are the ones loaded with the crappy and trashy freak show channels that nobody watches.

Ratings and advertising dictate what channels continue. It’d be interesting to know how many watched and how many advertisers they had. That’s the only reason to drop a channel. If they are making money, no way would they drop it.

I have both as Streaming channels through my ROKU TV.
I think we pay for OAN a modest amount.
Newsmax is free with commercials.

There is almost no reason to have Dish or Direct TV UNLESS you can not get high speed internet any other way.

Now I wish I had DirecTV so I could cancel it.

I get Newsmax and OANN on Roku.

I wonder if they’re available anywhere else now? I don’t have them in my Spectrum package.

And millions of useful idiots will keep paying DirecTV just so they can watch their sportsball.

Give them bread and circuses.

I had Directv for a couple of decades I think. Ever since they started and my unit cost $1000 and I had to install the dish myself. (I couldn’t get cable to my house). Over the years they kept raising prices until it finally broke the camel’s back. Near $200/month.....

Told them to shove it and went with Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu and whatever add-on premium channels I wanted. The cost is still much less than half what I was stupidly paying for Directv.

It’s a technology reserved for governments with big bucks and not for consumers, IMO. They’ve lost subscribers hand-over-fist and they just don’t care. Dump them and go streaming over internet.

It’s better to just get subscriptions online to Roku now.

The Newsmax contract expired.
Newsmax demanded carriage rates to stay on Dish.
Dish declined due to a deceasing subscriber base.
Dish countered with increased advertising time.
Newsmax declined.
Newsmax is no longer carried by Dish.

Seems like Newsmax made this decision.
