I was a DirecTV customer for two decades until AT&T got hold of it. I was a sucker and came back for AT&T TV, but as soon as I'm either in the clear or it's feasible to cancel the service, I fully intend to do so. They took a great company that provided, hands down, the best service in the TV market and completely messed it up. Now that they have the intellectual property and can run their own little side show, AT&T treats DirecTV like a dirty old hooker. They're done with it and done with its customers. Unless you want to pay well over twice as much for the same service, DirecTV is no longer a shadow of its former self.

Such a Mess
