I’ve been a DirecTV subscriber since about their first half-year on the street. Twenty years ago. Done a little beta-testing, now and then, with a user forum. They’re technically ahead of the competition all of the time.
Nice to be able to say the same about their social maturity.
Thanks, Ursarodinia

DirecTV announced Friday evening that it will sever ties with One America News later this year, pulling the conservative news channel from millions of homes and dealing a significant blow to the pro-Trump network.
The channel, which rose to prominence during the Trump administration and has promoted conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election and coronavirus pandemic, will be dropped from DirecTV in early April when its contract expires. OAN’s sister channel, A Wealth of Entertainment, will also be removed from the satellite provider. Both channels are owned by Herring Networks and founded by Robert Herring Sr. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2022/01/15/directv-drops-oan/
One America News, the far-right network whose fortunes and viewership rose amid the triumph and tumult of the Trump administration, has flourished with support from a surprising source: AT&T Inc, the world’s largest communications company.
A Reuters review of court records shows the role AT&T played in creating and funding OAN, a network that continues to spread conspiracy theories about the 2020 election and the COVID-19 pandemic. https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-oneamerica-att/
