AT&T absolutely ruined Direct TV.......we were in the same boat. Had DTV for several years, always called when the promo expired and all you had to do was ask and they'd reinstate it. Once AT&T took over, that went out the window. I called and said "I like your service, but I'm not willing to pay $x.xx for it. If you'll give me the promo again, I'll stay with it, otherwise I'll have to cancel and go to Youtube TV for $65/month." The lady I was talking to literally said "Okay, hold on a moment.........................................Okay, I have cancelled your account".
