Update Directv

[basedog]

As I posted a few backs ago about cutting the cord with Directv. I got my new bill for the next 12 months, a little over $52 per month. With my package and all the waived fees and discounts, it was a $90 savings. I suppose I will be happen until next year. But it worked for me saying to cancel my subscription.
Can't recall my bill ever being this cheap, been with Direct since 1994.

As I mentioned, I was in the same boat as you at the same time. We had joined YouTubeTV and called to cancel last week. We had gotten them to come down from $190 to $124 but were still cancelling. When we called to cancel they dropped us down to $84 per month for the next six months so that is where we are until that time is up and then we will go from there.

I had my TV people hook up a roku and I have an itchy trigger finger (I hate AT&T) so in 6 months they better be ready to deal. If not, I am ready to switch over with no interruptions.

So someone plugged something in for you?

Sounds like it.
I ditched DTV about 3 months ago. I used YTtv for 3 weeks prior ro cancelling to make sure I didn't need to turn on directv a single time. I didn't and haven't looked back one minute. Screw them jacking up the cost for people that have literally been with them since the 90s. If anything, they should give deals to people for each additional year they stay with them. It would actually piss me off more if they offered me a lower bill.

It's pretty annoying and it shouldn't be that hard, if they can make money off the lower price (and you have to believe they are) then they should just offer it and try to compete instead of going back and forth for an hour. To be honest even at the same price I think the streaming plans are a better deal now. You can get everything you want, you can make all your changes online in the blink of an eye without talking to a person and going through all the bull crap, it's mobile, dvr recording is done on a cloud so even if power goes out you can still record, and much more I'm sure. We literally bring our firestick to hotels and watch baseball games or whatever we want. We have Hulu+live and I just don't see a downfall to many of them at all. You can even drop one and go to another in minutes online if for some reason you decide one plan has something better or even if you want to watch a series on one and the other doesn't have it.

Yeah, when we were on vacation, we literally logged into our youtubetv account on the go. Had our full dvr, could watch anything live, access to watch espn, etc. Wait until next football season when I am streaming every single football game from one account on 4 different tvs outside.
