Switching from satellite to stream?

Been a satellite customer for going on 20 years, but getting tired of calling every year to get a discount added. We have the premier package and looking to switch to the same package on stream. Anyone had an issues or been happy after making the switch? Looks like stream I can put on more tvs while keeping the same channel for cheaper than what I get calling for discounts.

You been lucky AT&T's CEO announced a few years ago there will be no more discounts for existing customers.  DTV steaming doesn't have all the same channels as DTV sat so be sure the channels you want are in the streaming package you choose.

We made the switch and have been happy ever since.  It is nice that I can have it in as many rooms as I want and not have to pay receiver fees and DVR fees and any other fees that I might be forgetting.  What makes it really nice is the 3 on the go streams 2 of which can be TVs as You could have it in a vacation home or take it on vacation with you or share your service like I do as I am able to share with my elderly parents making the service even cheaper as we split the cost of the Bill  There are some channels that Streaming doesn't have but I don't miss the ones that are missing other than the NFL Network.  Just make sure you look at the packages to make sure that the one you select has all the channels you want as they could be slightly different.
