The answer to That question is how you pose the question and what question you (not you) are asking, people are very good at finding fact/opinions to meet thier expected questions.

Maybe DirecTVs losses are not attributed specifically to ATTs negligence and are more of a trend of loosing customers to cable and streaming? There is a lot of data out there and somebody has the answer.
Att started THINKING about the purchase in '14 or '15, the sale wasn't till like late '15 or '16, iirc ...When att bought directv
They played with dish for about 10 years...it was a nice fit...but ole charlie wanting to run thingsAtt started THINKING about the purchase in '14 or '15, the sale wasn't till like late '15 or '16, iirc ...
purchase was actually in '15
I wonder at this point if AT&T should just keep DTV for 10 more years and just let it fade away when the last satellite runs out of fuel? DTV still makes money for AT&T. However, could the current DTV boxes last 10 years without DTV updating them? Would that get customers mad not seeing DTV have the latest boxes and that would make more customers leave DTV? Unless DTV is a distraction for them because they want to concentrate on Internet streaming and they don't want to take care of both?
Yeah, I was pretty disappointed in the brand new boxes my parents got after switching from D* to Spectrum. Apparently X1 is a good platform, but I have never seen it myself.Even DirecTV's old boxes (HR24/H24) are still better than the cable boxes (Pace) that I have come across...
How is Spectrum's PQ compared to DTV?Yeah, I was pretty disappointed in the brand new boxes my parents got after switching from D* to Spectrum. Apparently X1 is a good platform, but I have never seen it myself.
The X1 box is a good system, both as a Box and the online version ( my Stepfather has the box on his main TV and the online version on the others), I just have a problem paying the extra fee every month for a box just to access the service I already pay a monthly fee for.Yeah, I was pretty disappointed in the brand new boxes my parents got after switching from D* to Spectrum.

The only one I can think of that wants a commitment is ATT TV. I know YTTV, Hulu Live, Sling, and Philo are month to month, no commitment services. There there is Fubo, I think, but have no experience with them to know for sure, that they are month to month as well.Some are, originally that was the big benefit to going a streaming route, that you could come and go without a contract, then that started to change and many are wanting a commitment, which to me makes it an OD Cable co.

So which many are wanting the commitments?
All cable companies pq is dependent on their infrastructure, so it changes by region..

Sorry, I didn't know Juan was talking about commitment based TV subscription services.A bit of a stretch don’t you think? All of the pay streamers have monthly offers, no commitment beyond the month you’ve paid for. That they also have offers for prepaying for different lengths of time at some discounted pricing is not exactly the same thing as a real commitment with a real ETF. In that case, only ATT TV stands out.
Yes, they are all ‘subscription’ services but mostly only for the month paid for.
When I left DTV effective Jan 1st 2014 the deal had been done and we were told ATT now owns us but they will not implement anything or make any changes for some period of time, I think it was at least 6mo or so. I retired with a DirecTV badge and when I consulted back with the company several months later badges had not changed to ATT yet. I have a call in to some other DirecTV employees to find out exactly when ATT was in charge and started making changes.Att started THINKING about the purchase in '14 or '15, the sale wasn't till like late '15 or '16, iirc ...

Both Charter and Comcast started their MPEG4 transition ( from MPEG2) a few years ago with the Navigator and X1 boxes, also via the apps is MPEG4.Awful. Most cable co's are still using MPEG2.

In my opinion, YTTV looks a lot better then Comcast ( never seen Charter‘s Video quality, I just have their Broadband).
It depends on what you are watching. Live action will look bad on any provider. The compression can't handle the fast moving objects.All cable companies pq is dependent on their infrastructure, so it changes by region.
