I just got Direct TV, and I'm not happy with it at all. The picture, sound, reception, and everything else is fine. It's just there is nothing to watch. Yeah, I get the basic package, but come on! Half of the channels are infomercial stations. From, "healthier looking skin", to "the coin collector", to "knife and cutlery corner". And don't forget the "air fryer" that can turn the cheapest cuts of meat into total delicacies. It never ends.
Not to mention there are more Hispanic channels than English. I feel like I'm living in Mexico City every time I turn it on. The "movie channels" are the "Road House, Rambo, & Forrest Gump rerun channels". I looked at the "premium packages", and it's mostly more of the same non stop crap.
It's unbelievable just how bad cable / satellite television has gotten. I've heard a lot of people are going to the "new" antenna's, that supposedly get several stations for free that satellite and cable currently charge for. But I'm afraid if I spring for it, it will wind up being just another disappointment, and waste of time and money. So I guess I'll just keep paying more, and watching less. What else is new?
