Cutting the cable, lets talk options and media setups

Yeah I have been with DirecTV for 15+ years. I tried YouTubeTV, Fubo and others...nothing compared to the quality, for me. I called the "Customer Retention Specialist" number that someone posted here a ways back. They worked with me and locked me in a choice modification pricing plan--with no contract. $115 /month with the sports package and 4K. I was able to trim down to just the new 4K tech box and turned over all my other ones. Their streaming app works better than any other ones that I use.

i think it really all depends on the day the "customer retention specialist" is/has had. I made my call late afternoon, and he seemed quite indifferent to my plea of lowering my bill to what i felt reasonable ( in light of me finding YOuTube TV for 1/3rd the cost )

I have 4k as well ( pay like $1.99 more to have ) which is probably where the "judder" is originating, but it doesnt bother me and since the rest of the family is off on apps ( netflix, hulu or disney ) i dont hear many complaints lol

I used to do that every 2 years and would get pretty good savings. But the loss of ABC along with WWL for a very extended period of time, with no billing credit ( unless you called to request ) along with a shoddy counter offer was enough for me to wave goodbye.

Oh and when i asked " where do i send the dish/receiver/genies" they said "keep em...they are yours" - SO WHAT THE HECK was i paying for the last 23 years -$6.99/box along with "insurance" of $2.99 per box???? Yeah that got me as well...
