DirectV has done it again. First they cancelled OAN and I put up with it because NEWSMAX was still there. Now they nave dropped NEWSMAX. This Communist provider has gone too far. DirectV cannot stand the truth. Now they try to peddle a cost issue about Newsmax Bull crap. As much as I hate to go back to cable, time to investigate what they are offering.
The choice is Directtv's either lose customers, or reinstate Newsmax. I've seen these disputes get resolved in the past, Directv do the right thing for your customers.
I will be getting another service. For TV, internet and phone.. That's over $270 a month they won't get anymore. Now that Gibson Connect is up and running it has the channels we want and it's a lot cheaper... And they don't tell us we have to watch liberal news.
Looks like DirectTV is going along with the Cancel Culture again. '
This is really (Edited per community guidelines) me off.
And I am sure that there are many more people feel that this no longer the America that is Land of the Free.
I will start to look for another provider that support Newsmax & OAN.
If you say we can just load an app for these channels, why don't you the same for the Fake news channels??? Why do you treat your costumers this way???
Direct TV your values now disgust me.
I will be posting this News on all the social media that I have access to.
This is a a public forum of other customers. So have no more control over this than any of you.
DirecTV and Newsmax didn't reach an agreement by the deadline, so negotiations have stalled out. Normally in that situation negotiations would start back up, but could take some time for channel to return.
This is not the same as the OANN dispute. On that one it was announced that negotiations wouldn't even happen and the agreement would just be allowed to expire. That time AT&T/DirecTV said goodbye to the channel as had no chance of staying.
Wasn't Newsmax provided to DirecTV for free before? If so, then there wouldn't be anything related to lower. Now they are negotiating cost, but didn't agree on an acceptable amount by the deadline.
Even if there was a cost, any money saved just helps offset the increased costs from other networks. A single channel going away (temporarily or not) doesn't make up that difference.
And not caring that a channel (which is available through other methods) goes away is not "supporting censorship". Those can be seperate of each other.
I do not believe in censorship and as a result of your decision to drop Newsmax from Direct TV I am considering changing my AT&T phone service to another service and will no longer buy a phone from your stores. I have been an AT&T customer for many years but dropped Direct TV years ago, thank goodness. Sorry you are such a politically biased public company and hope you receive your just rewards!!
I do not believe in censorship. Thank goodness I no longer have Direct TV and not for quite a while. I do have AT&T for many years but I am considering dropping AT&T and no longer will buy any phones or product from your stores because of your biased political stance I hope you reap your just rewards!

I don't want to constantly switch between apps, unless Directtv reinstated Newsmax I'm moving to another streaming platform!

They will miss us when we all leave. Unless they are planning on shutting directv down. But I guess they can afford to do that for liberals.
