Why do you (Edited per community guidelines)ing make people waste money just to watch TV?

Oh, DirecTV, where do I even start? It’s like they took the concept of "basic services" and threw it out the window, then made sure to charge you an arm and a leg for it. You’re literally paying them to watch stuff you could get for free—IF you didn’t need the privilege of fighting with their remote, their "service," and the eternal buffering. And let’s not even get into their hidden fees or “bundling.” Oh, you want a decent package? Prepare to empty your wallet while they act like you should be *grateful* for the privilege of watching TV with a billion channels you don’t even need. They’re the equivalent of someone saying, "Hey, want to watch TV? That'll be $100, please," with a smile on their face. Absolutely wild.

DirecTV, your channel selection is so limited, it's like watching TV through a keyhole. 🤣 I bet your headquarters is a cardboard box in someone's basement. 📦

DTV doesn't have a basic package,  Almost anyone can get the OTA channels with an OTA antenna and a digital tuner on their TV for free.  DTV has no control over what the channels send them.

That's a lot of tantrum, but not a lot of substance. If you want help and guidance, then please post a question or tangible specifics about your situation. Making vague toxic comments, and some completely childish made up accusations (cardboard box, etc.) is not constructive and goes against the forum guidelines.

If you want assistance, please be mature about it.
