Are you happy with DirecTV? I'm about to give Comcast the ol' "too-da-loo"

Thanks Dad.

I saw that interview. Bunch of talking mouthpieces. They kept saying people were tired of paying for fees and that business folks would use the Internet more for meetings. Sounded like a couple of little old ladies complaining about TSA, high ticket prices, long lines, airport food, paying for pillows, blankets, magazines, etc.

Then that would apply to every airline, not just Delta. And revenue was UP 2% from last year, just not as high as expected.

DAL stock has climbed around 80% in the last 5 months.

Mountain out of molehill IMO.

Lighten up, Francis.

I agree. Stuart Varney and his "expert" are idiots. The sad thing is that they bashed us for about 10 minutes on the most popular cable network in the country. People will believe it.

Absolutely. I've been with them for about 15 years. Especially with kids. The channel choices are awesome.

I think there are two things reporters know, politics and entertainment. The rest they don't. Sure there are some that can branch out into law because they were lawyers like a Megyn Kelly but I think that's their limit. For the rest they bring in experts and when it comes to aviation those experts are corporate pilots who got 2 hours in a Citation and spent just a tad more in Cessna 421s. The know it all at the local airport FBO counter who can't get any attention from the girl behind the desk. The guy who ratchets up a panic for the #3 tire being blown or when an American MD-80 is about to land nose wheel up he gives you the great insight that the pilots will shutdown the engines before the nose hits to save them from damage.

So really it's not as much about having low information voters as low information reporters and low experience experts.

For example, a low information reporter from our friends at CNN, "are asteroids caused by global warming or is this some sort of meteroic occasion?"

Wasn't me. I always sign off with a very energetic "see ya!"

Not really.

80, my wife wants to get rid of DirecTv but it's only because we don't watch tv anymore. They've actually been fantastic over the now nearly 8 or 9 years we've used them. I think we pay about $91/mo when you include the package and HD and extra sets. No movie channels. Doesn't matter, if you're new you get the good stuff just like new hires will get the ER and 717. :D

We watch Disney, NickJr, PBS, Nova, Modern Family, How It's Made and that's it. So Roku might be around the corner for us. Of course we'll need a higher power internet then DSL so who knows.

Sports? I don't even have time for 4 hours of sports watching and I haven't figured out what the plan is there.
