I've had Charter (now Spectrum) for years and have never had them cancel channels. I thought DirectTV was the one that always took away channels. I have absolutely no complaints with my Spectrum except they did away with their deals. We are paying full price now but I keep calling every so often to see if they have any deals we can snag into.

I've been a Directv customer for over 15 years. I think that speaks for itself.

eta - I just upgraded to the new Genie-2. This has the 2TB storage unit for DVR and has wi-fi connectivity. Now I can listen to all of my IHeartRadio stations through my home theater. I can also load any app onto my TV from the Genie-2. It's almost like getting a new mini-computer just for TV.

I've been a DirecTV customer for 15 years and I'm ready to move to Spectrum.

I would love to re-vamp what I'm getting from DirecTV but they will put me on another 2 year contract, I don't want contracts of any kind.  I have no DVR, no Genie and only 1 HD receiver.

A few years ago my kids lived in an apartment complex and the Charter cable/internet was free.   I was impressed & jealous  (before the merger)

Now I pay DirecTV $130/mo for almost nothing, plus I have home WiFi with Verizon which is barely enough to check emails and pay bills online for $50/month.

I started with DirecTV because we had 2 other homes and it was convenient to have an account with DirecTV because the homes were in distant, rural areas where there is no other coverage.

What channels or shows are you missing?    With the internet Spectrum provides, you can probably watch almost anything on the internet.

Like John mentioned, they all drop & add channels all the time.

I have DIRECTV and I really like it except for the price....keeps going up and up.

I am probably going to cancel it next month and just use Sling TV.

I can't comment on Spectrum, we have Comcast and Direct TV.  We have both because neither Comcast of Direct TV can carry all of our TV's.  We've never been happy with Comcast.  Always a problem but we've never had a problem with Direct TV.  Just wish there were a little more choices though.  We recently got Netflix.  It's a little over $10/month and we're enjoying that.  Thinking of going down to the basics with Comcast and keeping the Direct TV and Netflix.
