    DTV Retaining Customers?

    I haven't really missed anything and have saved $100+ a month for more than 8 years. A la carte more than sounds great.

    DTV Retaining Customers?

    It'll probably be less monthly than just the fees alone ($52.99 including RSN) she pays to DirecTV, and she wouldn't need it year round, she'd be saving over $100/mo.

    DTV Retaining Customers?

    What channels are you missing? Mom has DirecTV largely for the convenience and familiarity, though she's streaming more and more as programming changes have necessitated it. The biggest one that got her into streaming for example was Days of our Lives going streaming only. Now she watches...

    What makes you stay with Directv?

    Because it's what mom's comfortable with. This is slowly changing, between Days of our Lives going streaming-only and things like the protracted Nexstar dispute we're pretty close to pulling the plug on the 20+ year old account. She's the only one of my immediate family / circle of friends who...

    Another DirecTV Price Increase for 2023, second one this year

    Yeah we got this notice, it's confusing. It provides a link to view 2023 pricing details, but that page makes no mention of the 4/22 increase, just references the 1/22 increase. Mom moved to Choice in January: Then in February it increased in price: I don't see an email about that price...

    DIRECTV UNIFIED BRAND COMING APRIL 6th.

    Looking at mom's account for the non-promotional prices since they're not obvious to me on the sales pitch side of things: Entertainment: $84.99 Choice: $106.99 Ultimate: $136.99 Premier: $191.99 Since I'm here, here's her fees, totaling $48.99 for service in 3 rooms: TV Access Fee: $7.00 TV...

    DIRECTV UNIFIED BRAND COMING APRIL 6th.

    Yeah, just seems like a way to preserve the satellite pricing model via streaming service. They have to keep the Stream service to compete with similar competitors though. A lot of words but relatively simple change, outside of charging some people more most wont notice.

    DirecTV lays off hundreds of managers as cord cutting accelerates

    What metrics are you basing this kind of thing off of? Coming out of a pandemic I think it's the opposite, things are going to wind back up and hit their stride again over the next 18 months. If anything aberrations at the box office will likely be due more to players like Netflix and Apple...

    DirecTV lays off hundreds of managers as cord cutting accelerates

    I think it's a product of the inequity in how customers are treated. I just got a 12 month $50 credit re-upped for mom, we also hadn't received Sunday Ticket free 'like everyone else' for the last few years until this past season (which was done without even asking). Of course since that credit...

    DirecTV lays off hundreds of managers as cord cutting accelerates

    Those are delivery jobs, not warehouse workers. https://www.ziprecruiter.com/Jobs/Independent-Contractor-Amazon-Warehouse Their posting for warehouse workers promotes benefits that are available to warehouse workers, nothing about them being contractors...

    DirecTV lays off hundreds of managers as cord cutting accelerates

    Quote where it says that in either of the articles posted. The reality is if they conduct that poll today they'll probably get wildly different results. Streaming allows people to be fickle and turn them off and on as needed - and the services are designed to support that. Netflix has the...

    DirecTV lays off hundreds of managers as cord cutting accelerates

    They've always been high for these services, my moms DirecTV has almost $50 in fees unique to DirecTV, instantly saved if she moves to YTTV for example. These losses are more to do with better offerings and changing habits and DirecTV has a model that is hard to pivot from with such high...

    Missed the point if that's all you took from his reply. It's outdated information, just another Juan rabbit hole. Sent from my SM-F936U1 using Tapatalk

    Just a vague forward looking statement trying to say that despite they layoffs they'll continue to buy programming.

    HOBOMAX &Discovery Plus Merger

    Yes, hopefully it is a less-terrible experience than having to re-login to the HBO app monthly on our TVs and consoles.

    It's Free NFL Sunday Ticket Time Again!

    Yeah, no offer on my 17 year old account, could discount it down to like $34/mo or something. Got a 12 month $50 discount instead and passed on NFLST. We've gone a few years without it.

    The last couple of events I've watched on ESPN, DirecTV now was more reliable than watchESPN. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

    So are commercials always out of sync? Just an odd thing we are seeing watching UFC on FS1. Edit: Oh. It's not just the commercials. :( Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

    DIRECTV Will Raise Prices Next Month

    Post-election the ratings have been great. It's a reach to bring it up, time to move on.

    DIRECTV Will Raise Prices Next Month

    You have to rely on older headlines to make this point. May want to 'look again' yourself.

    DIRECTV NOW LAUNCH

    It's a bit half baked for our needs, and that's coming from someone w/ no pay TV service at all. Need: - Xbox App - NFL Red Zone With it not being a prominent part of this presentation I'm sure we won't see anything NFL related this season, and with only Roku being mentioned for 2017 an Xbox...

    DIRECTV NOW Launching in November!

    So what are expectations of them having Red Zone available as a standalone add-on since that's generally been a Sunday Ticket exclusive and they don't carry NFL's? Meanwhile the competition all have it. We're cancelling Sling after trying it for a month, but it's been a buffering mess and...
