Not a tip about getting directv lowered, but I will share my experience from cutting the cord with my cable/Internet company:**Anyone have tips about getting directv lowered? Getting ready to cancel and cut cord. Just wondering
about local channels.
I dropped the Internet because a new company came to town with better Internet service for less money.
So then the cable/Internet company told me I lost the package deal and they were going to bill me over $100 per month for cable TV.
I said nope and cancelled the cable TV.
I bought a Mohu Leaf indoor antenna. I think it was on sale for about $18. You can hang it on the wall or put it on a table. You connect it to your TV, then you tell your TV to search for the channels. I get about 17 channels, including ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, the CW, Me TV, My 8, Laff, and 4 PBS channels. (Plus some other channels I seldom watch.) My monthly cost for that is zero. I pay for two streaming channels. If there's something in particular I want to see on another streaming channel, I will subscribe for a month, watch everything I want, and then drop it.
I realize this won't help the people who want to watch a lot of sports on sports channels. But I've been happy, particularly due to my dislike for the cable/Internet company I dumped.
