I like OAN as far as news stations go. Direct TV dropped OAN today. My wife called and dropped Direct TV today.
I fired them when AT$T bought them. The timing was coincidental, but it ensured that they had no chance of retaining me as a customer.
I get OAN free with Roku.
I told DirectTv to kick rocks in 2015. Put that monthly fee in the outdoor hobby jar.
I dropped Direct TV last month, but I should’ve done it a year ago.
Kicked them to the curb 4 yrs ago after being a customer for 6 yrs. In those 6 yrs my bill doubled from what I initially was paying and less channels.
I dropped them 3 or 4 years ago, after AT&T bought them and screwed-up the service and equipment. I’d been a customer for many years. I switched to stream Hulu plus Live. I already had Netflix. Total bill dropped significantly.

I'd been a customer for a long time, as well. When I started, they were two separate companies--DirecTV had the "basic" channels, and US Satellite Broadcasting (USSB) had the premium channels (HBO, Cinemax, etc). They kept charging more and more for less and less that I wanted to watch, but the few channels I did watch were only in the "everything" plan, which was over $170 when I finally called it quits.
What really got me to quit was when it was mid-May and I realized that I hadn't even turned the stupid thing on since March Madness. I called to quit, and they said they could put me on "vacation" status for six months, so my account wouldn't be canceled, but I wouldn't have service and they wouldn't bill me. It was around that time that AT$T bought them, which sealed the deal, so at the end of the six months I told them to GTFO.
I've had dish since 2012. The only reason I got it to begin with was to watch NASCAR after they went off fox for the season.
