Dropping channels from a bundle
Is the any way to drop channels from a DirecTV Stream bundle? Specifically, OAN. It is a problem for me to support an organization that routinely presents lies and untruths.

Just to put some of my personal observations regarding DTV vs OTA and streaming.
When I was on DTV, I had 2 accounts. the monthly total was $163 a month (discounted rates as well). Now this came to $1956 a year.
Now I have a Tivo Edge OTA which cost me $200 one time charge. and I did a year subscription of $74 (with tax). I did the OANN subscription at $4.99 a month(59.88 a yr). Now my cost is only $133.88 a year. My Prime TV come with my Amazon Prime and it is not added so it is a even deal. Seems like I am saving over $1,800. a year alone. Now with my Over the Air channels I have all the major networks as well as allot more. I found MEtv, Bounce, H&I, Grit, ION and over 32 channels in a rural South Georgia. Not near any "Major" cities. With all the streaming shows, movies and channels I am getting more than DTV. Heck the FireTV and Firestick alone can beat it.
So for my personal opinion, the streaming options far exceeded DTV. The Tivo DVR has all the the DTV had and depending on the model exceeds what DTV charged for less.
I am an EX-DirecTV and AT&T customer. I dropped DTV because of two issues. 1. The nonrenewal of OANN and the extremes in WOKE programing. 2. The cost almost doubled for service.

I wish DirecTV Stream offered a 25 "Pick-Your-Own" channel subscription package like Spectrum and Verizon are offering.

How about they put together a package that does not include CNN and MSNBC? Let me guess, they’d find a way to call DIRECTV racist or a homophobe for that. DIRECTV lost a lot of customers for canceling OAN… keep attacking 50% of the country and there will be no DIRECTV left.
Seriously, stop imposing your will on free America. If you don’t like something, skip over it like other Americans have done for the last century.

Post above was to other threads… not sure why it got moved here.
Woke customers renewed the push for DIRECTV to cancel Newsmax and Fox next.

IF you take some time and look at all the streaming apps and OTA channels you may find you can get everything you are looking for, for a fraction of the DTV cost. Pluto TV, IMDb TV Tubi TV, VUDU TV, Xumo, PLEX, KlowdTV and add Prime TV.
I am an EX-DirecTV and AT&T customer. I dropped DTV because of two issues. 1. The nonrenewal of OANN and the extremes in WOKE programing. 2. The cost almost doubled for service. Consider your options and you may see you can have more for less away from DTV.

We have KlowdTV too. Now we have all of the programming we used to watch on DTV. Between Klowd, FRNDLY and Epoch tv we paid ahead until May 2023 for under $300.00. Then you have the free ones too like Pluto.
I know, we could have done that before but DTV was convenient and we didn't need anything else.

Get ready… Biden formed a Federal Disinformation Governance Board to help with the NOV midterms which will probably only erase the truth… announced only days after Elon saved Twitter.
Soon any speech which is not woke or left wing will be suppressed. The big brother soon to be in charge of the internet…. Sound communist? The examples we discussed a few months ago about Fahrenheit 451 not far fetched.
https://nypost.com/2022/04/28/biden-staff-leads-50-country-pledge-to-reclaim-internet/
https://nypost.com/2022/04/28/wh-pick-for-disinformation-board-spread-hunter-biden-laptop-lie/
The pledge sounds good in some aspects but is very vague and strives to give the government a more authoritarian role (ironically that’s exactly what the pledge criticizes). Note the term disinformation has been used to censor content that later gains broad acceptance — such as The Post’s reporting on documents from Hunter Biden’s laptop, which Twitter blocked and Facebook throttled, and speculation that COVID-19 leaked from a Chinese lab, which Facebook banned before US intelligence agencies later found the scenario one of two “plausible” pandemic origin theories.

I was just reading about that in Newsweek.
"Jankowicz tweeted on Wednesday that she was "Honored to be serving in the Biden Administration @DHSgov and helping shape our counter-disinformation efforts."
Let me get this straight. This person will now have the authority of the federal government to determine what is true or not and only what is deemed to be true will be allowed to be published? If so will the Bible will be deemed disinformation?

Your last question has been a concern in California at the state legislature level.

It got 'edited per community guidelines' so it doesn't work.

@catskills Google “California Bible Ban” and ignore fake left “fact checks”. DuckDuckGo May yield better results.
Jankowicz Is a political operative with a Far left agenda for sure. She criticized Trump in 2016 for suppressing Black Voters, suggested Hunter Biden’s laptop was 'illicit provenance', was part of Russian Collusion smear campaign on trump, etc.

I have been with Uverse since their inception and was on it when OAN started. They are my #1 source of news and I continue with them thru several streaming providers as well as OAN Live and KlowdTV.
