Yes. I am interested in any analysis/summary of why DirectTV failed. I was an enthusiastic subscriber for some years - I live in a rural, mountainous community that has very poor over the air reception, and at the time no cable access. The mini dish felt like a miracle. I switched to Comcast (which had finally decided to run a cable up our mountain a few year before) only when tree growth in our backyard obstructed our southern exposure to the satellite (and after paying a couple of young guys a couple of times to cut down branches, which just seemed to dangerous to ask them to do again).
I don’t know that there is anything about cable that is superior to DirecTV (maybe access to the NFLRedZone), and there are several things about Comcast that I detest. If could access their satellite I would still be using them. So I wonder why they are failing? I know Comcast has added the ability to access other streamers (Netflix, Amazon, Hulu) - I am not sure if that is available on DirectTV. I use that only rarely, as it is very clunky, and I find it easier to access those streamers directly in other ways.
