the lady said to me....
She: "So, you're cancelling your account. You're not going with another company, are you?"
Me: "No, I'm not but if I wanted to, I would. Shouldn't matter to Direct one way or the other."
Can you believe?? I'm supposed to send the receivers back within X days and yada, yada. She didn't like it very much that we don't have a physical house, only a mailing address. I cancelled because Direct wouldn't do another 6 month suspension. Actually, I don't miss it. It seemed to me when we used it (before we went back to trucking) there were too many commercials and I still couldn't find anything to watch, except for a few shows...which I can watch on my phone or online.
Okie dokie, vent over! :-)

We just have Netflix and the Roku box to stream it to the main TV. I have a laptop upstairs that I watch Netflix Instant movies on and I also have the free hulu.com on it for movies and old sitcoms that I like.We don't miss TV AT ALL!!! Give it a whirl Winona!

I didn't have direct tv, but did have cable through my phone company. We just canceled yesterday and I'm feeling so much better about it. We have a Roku box which is AWESOME and highly recommended! The few shows we actually like to watch are available on some of the Roku channels--I like paying for just what I want to watch instead of 900 channels of crap that doesn't interest me and 1 or 2 channels that have shows I do like, but show the same stuff over and over. Congrats to you Ms. Winnona!!

Good to know about the confirmation receipt. I sort of suspected but will do so.
Netflix sounds good. Don't know what a roku is but I can find out.
Here's the kicker, after talking with a friend, we found out we could get the dvr thingy and I can program it off my phone to record the shows I want. When we get home and for vacay, we are looking at houses and NOW hubby wants it back...life goes on, eh?

Send it back with confirmation receipt. When we returned ours they tried to say we didnt until I gave them the tracking info. |
