#2 I don't miss DirecTV. Haven't had it for over 10 years.

#3 Entirely independent of this, Mr. Wife cancelled our DirecTV account this week. If I understand correctly, though I probably don’t, we are now to watch television shows on YouTube.

He manages our household budget the way he used to manage his work budget, so I’m sure he is not alone in this decision.

#4 Speaking with the spousal unit the other day, she concurs: we'd rather watch what's on youtube.com than anything the leftist wokesters crap out.

Devil's choice. "Gurgle" wins.

#7 Permanently cutting off customer base in a highly competitive market, and your share is decidedly shrinking is exactly what you do, DirecTV.

#8 I dumped cable TV a long time ago and saved a lot of money. I got tired of the predatory escalating pricing policies of cable. I also went the way of YouTube for some things and an inexpensive ROKU add-on for other things. I get more TV than available time. There is also a way that what is on you phone or pad can be "cast"onto you smart TV (most TV today are smart TVs).

At the moment, you can only cast youtube videos onto a smart tv.

#10 I use an old AppleTV box to output HDMI to my "smart" tv - whose features I don't use. I'm looking for a better monitor.

I haven't had cable for decades. I do pay YouTube a small amount to get rid of the ads - well worth it, but I have no interest in the YouTubeTV they keep flogging.

YouTube has a plethora of great DIY channels. Try Torbjörn Åhman, Essential Craftsman, or Living Traditions Homestead.

Also, Blancolirio (Juan Browne) has a lot of interesting stuff, non-DYI.
