So I'm trying to cancel and I thought the stream service, you could cancel online without talking to anyone? I went through that and my only option is to call them or 'Chat to Cancel'.

Is this true? I have to talk to someone to cancel? I updated my credit information so no more then $25 can be charged at a time so it SHOULD fail when they auto renew though... maybe that will just be the way.

Let me know if there is a way to do it online without having to talk to anyone. I do not want to sit and have them try keeping me.

Looking at replacing DirectTV Stream with Youtube TV because of their increasing prices AT LEAST yearly (if not, twice a year).

Working through the trail to see if it'll work for us. One thing we noticed this morning on Disney XD, watching live TV was a commercial that had a 'skip' button. I was very confused seeing how this was live TV. I hit skip and I'll be damned, it skipped the rest of the commercial and went back to live TV.

So, is this a thing? Does Youtube TV play EXTRA COMMERICALS over live TV? I'm guessing it sort of pauses the live TV in the background and waits for someone to watch extra commercials they put on top of live TV?

I turned on a different channel and then back to the channel we were watching and sure enough, we were about 20 seconds further along in the show.

So I'm looking for a replacement for DirecTV stream due to them jacking prices again.

I'm doing a trial of YouTube right now. But it's missing the one feature I used almost all the time.

In DirecTV stream, if you hit the down button I think it was, it brought up the last 7 channels (or similar amount) you watched.

YouTube tv doesn't have this. I read sling didn't have this either. Does anyone know what other streaming services offer this?

Our cell bill has gone up probably close to 20 per line in the past two years. For two lines, that is almost 40$. Our internet went up from 40 to ... I want to say like 64 in the past two years. All just rate increases I guess.

I have DSL through them, two cell lines and then DirecTV stream which. Was uverse. But I don't think they are combined in anyway anymore.

Our plan is to go to cricket wireless (basically att) to save about 80/month. I didn't see anything on our internet bill to for a discount related to multiple services / bundles / etc.... so when we switch, the Internet shouldn't go up right? Im sure it'll go up fas it has at least every year like it does now (sometimes multiple times per year)... But shouldn't be related to me removing my cell service right?

And then DirecTV stream, same thing? I didn't think we got any discount there either. That has gone up multiple times per year too .. will be switching that in the next few months. Just stuck with Internet until they get fiber on this side of the street since I refuse to use Comcast.
