Direct TV has nice features, except that it does not carry Cox Sports TV, the only channel in which we can watch our local NBA team, and neither is it carried on our local cable company, which is an utterly ridiculous situation. Direct TV also requires the use of a digital converter box, and you have to pay for that for each one you wish to use, so if you have 5 TVs, you need five boxes, each at $4.99/month.

The fact that you require a box also defeats a lot of the features which are builit into your television.

The stranglehold that Direct TV has on the NFL Sunday ticket is also ridiculous. This product should be available to ALL NFL fans, not just those that can have the ability to put satellite dishes on their property. This eliminates many apartment renters.

They have a similar stranglehold on the NBA League Pass.

They also are charging us for NBA League Pass when we specifically requested not to be charged.
