I think if it ends within the next week or two they'll get most of them back. Hardware still installed and not enough time for new habits to sink in, free trials still going, and for many a little goodwill with the proactive credits for stopgaps they've recommended. Longer than that... and...

Many of the ESPN on-air talent were promoting DirecTV alternatives going into the weekend. If it's not back tonight, it'll either trigger enough of a watershed movement in cancellations to get DirecTV to outright cave or be the biggest sign that this will be a very long term dispute IMO...

Yeah, DirecTV's premise is flawed, as switching will get people their programming they're missing literally with a few clicks Disputes are part of the industry, but when your value proposition doesn't exceed the friction caused by the inability to provide the programming people are expecting...

https://www.fastcompany.com/91184535/directv-disney-blackout-cancel-subscription-useless-dispute Edit, since there was no summary: In the thick of a contentious contract battle with the Walt Disney Company, DirecTV this week is sending a surprisingly forthright message to some customers who...

Can almost feel a tangible shift in the market with this dispute, and you can see signs of this shift elsewhere: View: https://www.threads.net/@jacobfeldman/post/C_dgVI0xZvc?xmt=AQGzuFaYHtj4M8PlqwnrQMUG6_Juj9W1Gwh2l76H3GB_yA

As there are a variety of ways to get your programming while saving money being thrown out there in this thread, I'll mention that YouTubeTV has referral credits. I will opt not to just put my referral code here to avoid this becoming a thread of a bunch of people posting theirs (guess I could...

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

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.

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...

:oops:

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

So you lied, it's not in the article. Got it.

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...

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.

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