I have had Direct TV for 25 years. This is just ludicrous that you have taken a mayor TV station away from your customers. If it does not return I am going to have to switch companies,

You local Tenga channel took their feed to DTV away because DTV will not pay what they wanted to renew the contract.  All TV providers have this problem so moving is a short term fix.  They did the same thing 3 years ago where were you then?

All satellite, cable and streaming TV providers continue to battle greedy corporations that demand more and more money to deliver FREE off-air channels.

Check out this excellent video explaining why corporate network owners keep demanding more and more money from cable, satellite and streaming providers to deliver FREE off-air TV stations ....

If you've had DirecTV for 25 years, then you should already know that DirecTV did NOT take the TV station away from you. This is a carraige negotiation that has happened many times during your time.

Tegna the owner of the local affiliate station has taken the channel away (as is their right) as is holding out for DirecTV to cave to higher rates. The more Tegna gets, the more our bills go up.

Did you forget this happened about 3 years ago with them? And switching companies will not save you. They all go through this since they don't own the channels. This is just DirecTV's turn this time.
