The advantage we see to it is that with their STB, it's old people friendly in that it has the same UI as regular DirecTV. No needing to run an app, browse through your stereotypical streaming UI.

Streaming services seem to be testing how far they can crank up the price before people cancel, but IMHO the one good thing about streaming is they are all month-to-month services. The free trials have mostly disappeared, but you can cancel any time. So help me understand the DirecTV streaming version. No satellite dish to install, they just send you a cheap looking little dongle. And the monthly price is up there with the most expensive streaming packages that include live TV. So how do they get away with requiring a 24 month contract, with a $20/mo ETF? Why would anyone sign a 2 year contract for a streaming service? And what are they providing that justifies a $400+ early termination fee if you cancel? -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
