I got rid of DirecTV some years ago as a cost cutting measure. A few months later I got rid of the TV. I cannot tell you how much better my mental health has become. Now I watch documentaries online and sovereign citizens getting their ass handed to them on youtube.

The great cable bundling racket:
Channel A
Channel A + 1 hour
Channel A HD
Channel A + 1 hour HD
Same content 4 times a day
Movie channels:
4 movies repeated 3 times a day repeated for 31 days using the same channel configuration above.
Some day one of these companies is going to get smart and let subs fibers pick each individual channel in an entirely custom package. Bundling is garbage.
I dumped TV ten years ago. Mine went to the local mission store. Don’t miss it.
