For those that have dropped any of the satellite tv providers, do you have any regrets?

We already have subscriptions to Netflix,Hulu,Amazon Prime etc.. Paying almost $200 every month for Directv just doesn't make sense any longer.

Hulu Plus drops a lot, but so did Directv.

Lol you are not doing it right. Swap dtv and dish every 2 yrs when contracts up. Get all promos/free premium channels. Bill for $80 month, rinse and repeat when contract is up

I cut cable but don’t have any TV streaming (I am more into audio. I have Spotify and Sirius. Thinking about getting nugs).
I have no regrets about now watching very little Tv (I do have an antenna to sometimes watch local news)

No regrets. I no longer watch tv other than LSU and Saints football. Other than that, wife watches her crap on youtube. Son has a youtube tv subscription and we also have Prime but sitting down and watching the tv has ended for me.

You don't have to do this with Dish anyway. Just call, and they will add a promo to our account for 10 months every time.

That's all a I ever really watch other than a few hunting/fishing shows.

What app do you use to watch LSU football and baseball games now?

I’m paying $62 a month with directv with HBO. When the price goes up I call and threaten to cancel and they drop the price back down. I believe I have around 200 channels. If you’re paying $200 you’re doing something wrong.

Was clearing out some old emails and I found an invoice for DirecTV for $130ish. No ragerts at all about dropping them, Netflix, Disney+, Prime and Hulu do the job well for me.

I switched to Hulu TV w/Netflix and HBO and locked in a lifetime internet price with Centurylink. My bill is almost 60% less than when I had my cable and internet bundled with Cox for the exact same service.
