Satellite TV is Dead, Direct TV just lost 267,000 customers

I made a prediction on January 2019 that satellite TV will be gone in 2 years, looks like I might be right..

Direct TV just lost 267,000 customers in 3 months and the CEO wants to still raise prices and lower the channels..

Better get yourself a good internet connection for your RV..

    Not much I can do about that. I just hope they can stem their losses and stay in business. Hard to imagine there aren't more customers who value recording like me. But then, the almighty dollar speaks loudly.

    I'm sticking with them for good reception, everywhere, and the ability to record. I don't watch any live tv. They won't "loose" me.


    No you might not lose them but they might lose you, if customers continue to go away they cant keep the doors open and employees on payroll they will have to shut down..

  • I have gone full streaming over 2 years ago, both at home and on the road, the content is a 100 times more than satellite TV and cost far less, many of the channels on internet streaming is even FREE..

    Satellite TV will never be able to top this and they will still continue to lose customers..

    I would sugest not to invest in new satellite equipment cause you might find yourself with a pile of Junk by 2022..
