@TiredCamper, these are the customer service managers that can usually get things figured out for you. It is either going to be them, or you will probably just leave. Last resort at this point.

DirecTV cancelling Newsmax

I am a 12 year subscriber to DirecTV & have had AT&T cell service for 15 years. I am EXTREMELY disappointed that DirecTV is cancelling Newsmax—the last (Edited per community guidelines) news channel. If this is not resolved with Newsmax being restored I will be cancelling my subscriptions.

I have not tried to service call yet as I am not sure how much it will cost us and we don't really have too much to spend on it at the moment. I am also trying to do all I can before I have to resort to calling them.
