Is Direct TV DOOMED?

in #business7 years ago (edited)

I was asking a friend the other day where they thought Direct TV stands now that YouTube offers live TV and not to mention the views they are losing from Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, etc. I feel as a society we have moved away from traditional television and have now entered into an advanced internet/TV realm. In my opinion Direct TV will go out just like blockbuster did not sure how long they have but if they don't make any major changes in their platform soon they will be facing impending doom. What do your guys think? ![unnamed.png]

I finally cut the cord about a year ago best decision I made and i replaced it with Roku I stream whatever I want and i don't have a cable bill anymore! My opinion on DirecTV I don't think it will go out like Blockbuster I think they will adapt for the times I noticed HBO, Cinemax, DirecTV, Comedy Central are all coming out with all la carte you still have to pay for those premiums but you can pick and choose what you want it's about $10 each a month for those premiums and you're also not bound to a contract.

That's what I'm talking about! I got rid of cable over a year ago and now only stream Netflix and Amazon prime. Things were getting way to expensive.

Oh yeah I was paying about $120 for DirecTV and 80% of the programs were either foreign language or Home Shopping Network big rip-off in my opinion and then they trap you in a contract for two years. Like I said best decision I've made also one less expensive bill.

I think DirectTV is dying more from the choke of death from AT&T and the squeezing to get the last pennies out of it.

Don't get me started on Verizon, or Foxtel.

Howdy! Whether you like sports, movies, news, or documentaries, there's something for everyone among the DirecTV streaming service's extensive selection of TV channels. With a huge selection of channels, directv ensures that there is no shortage of entertainment options, making it superior to other TV providers. And for those who do not have access to high-speed Internet, the company provides excellent satellite television services that allow you to watch TV channels in high quality.
