Thanks BrownEyed.

I think you have to quit over the phone so they can
read their legal junk out to you. Like whether you will
owe them money or not. But I was under no contract
with them, so I'm free!

I imagine I'll get a call or email wanting me back. But
believe me they're going to have to beg and make me
an incredible offer.

I have an Nintendo Wii which allows me to stream
movies from Netflix. Plus I'm considering purchasing
a Roku 2.

Just in case anyone else is going through the
same thing with DirectTV. They have upped
the offer now that I cancelled. All the things
I'd originally asked for can now be mine for
free (w/contract).

Besides free HD equipment and all the movie
channels, they'll even throw in The NFL Sunday
Ticket. That last part is what makes it so tempting.

Somehow I can be a new customer again. And
that's how I can magically receive all those great
offers. What a joke! I told them I'd think about it.

Save $$$ or watch all the NFL games???
We shall see...

Pay TV is on the ebb as customers cut the cord.
A look at the numbers shows that pay TV is on the ebb.
More than 400,000 have cut the cord since January.

Direct TV announced that it had lost 52,000 in the
second quarter.

There are tons of devices that let consumers watch
pay-TV via the internet without needing to subscribe
to a pay-TV service.

Sounds like the internet might be helping to kill off, or
at the very least change things at DirectTV and
the other pay-TV services.

Will they learn? Probably not. They'll probably be like
the music companies, after they've lost mucho $$$, they'll
say Wha happ'n? (Fred Willard).

Why pay $70 to $100+ a month for those 3 to 5 channels
most of us watch?
