The biggest problem was all the commercials. I an now using samsung tv plus that is free. Yes they do show commercials. It just I am not paying cable prices. Both samsung and LG TV have over 100 channels plus all the ota in your area.
After 25-plus years with Directv, I am now a cord (airwave) cutter. They wanted to reduce the bill, but I said no. Thank you for all the information on the DirecTV forum.
