    Common topic but I'm stumped

    Why are you Canceling DTV Why would you cancel Directv? cable is not really the best way to go in my opinion. I have worked in the broadcasting industry for almost 27 years and I can tell you the cable companies rates will continue to rise and programming will lower. DTV is the way to go.
