Here's an interesting turn of events that occurred last week and felt it was material change in my situation
I needed to call DTV because they never sent boxes out for my receivers, they took that opportunity to try to lure me back to fold. If I returned, they promised to cut my bill to 57 dollars, by way of rebates and incentives, and give me 3 months free of of HBO/Cinemax/Starz (this isn't unusual, they did that the last time I complained).
I take the plunge since I get more channels for 57 dollars then I would with streaming at 35, but after my service is re-activated, I don't see the promised premium channels. I give it an hour, just incase something needs to sync up. So then after the hour is up, I call them and after being on the phone for about 45 minutes, talking to 3 different people, the end result is they have no record of any of the promised incentives. The order number I provided only shows only the request to reactivate, nothing of rebates/price cuts
At that point, I cancelled them, I suppose I could pursue the promised price cuts, but why bother ,they seemed willing to promise something and deliver another. I'm not sure why they did that, but in the past DTV was known for excellent top notch customer service, what I went through seemed rather sleazy to me, which is why I didn't want to push the issue and stick with streaming.
I opted for Ps Vue, because I could live without the Viacom channels, and I've not really missed them. When I think about it, I never watched the comedy channel, and only cops or jail seemed to be on spike.
