I am between a rock and a hard place if I want to have "tv channels" to watch while on the road. I have a new game I am going to play with DirecTV ~ its called call them nightly to see what type of deal I can get for the day. I will continue to switch the packages until I find a cheap/reasonable price for the package I have. Once I do, then I will authorize my credit card company to release the hold I have on my card for not issuing any funds to DirecTV.
A complete waste of time...absolutely, but hey it's my money they are dealing with here. If I am going to pay premium rates, I figure the least I can do is waste their labor dollars in tying up a customer service rep for as long as I can each day. Good thing I have unlimited cell minutes...
