Default Direct TV

I am in the process of choosing my TV service now that I moved here full time. I just found out that since my address here in the Villages does not allow satellite dish I can subscribe for the streaming version of Direct TV. That to me is a blessing. I am also trying to get NFL Sunday Ticket although I believe you can stream Sunday Ticket without subscribing to Direct TV streaming service. I agree that service has been horrible since ATT bought Direct TV but the good news is that ATT is spinning off Direct TV soon and they should return to their previous great service. I am going to compare Direct TV streaming to You Tube TV for a month (I have both now) to be sure I can get all the Midwest Regional College Football games. That would be my only hang up for You Tube TV.

That's strange and against what the FCC says. Do you mind me asking where this is?

Goes out sometimes in bad weather but not that often.
Then we just watch a recorded program...

Depending on where you live there are many people using OTA antennas pointed at Orlando and get 65 channels. I seem to have an obstruction in Leesburg and have not been successful so far.
Are you using a amplifier (splitter amplifier)

Where you can’t have a dish , I’ve owned 6 houses over the years in different parts of villages, also as far as I know direct still has exclusive rights to nfl ticket this year and I believe next and guys I don’t care about fire sticks and all the other things used to game the system I just pay a monthly bill , I never turn tv on in daytime except for football and don’t start at night until 8 I don’t care
