Yesterday, Friday July 17th was our official last day of DirecTV. After being held under contract for 24 months, and delaying cancellation for 3 months, totaling in a 27 month streak of DirecTV programming has come to an end. (Let me add, we were paying a premium cost for basic programming in HD, their run on our checking account has come to an end).
For one, it was a bit sad, knowing it was about to end. I For our last night, we watched some old 80 sitcoms (Golden Girls), portions of a early 90's movie (Son-In-Law), and some terrible current MTV programming was our last bit of entertainment. Let's face it, there is a-lot of awful programming, and hardly worth paying for during the summertime (when we got stuff to do).
Ah, and yes,and a Final Detroit Tiger baseball game at the 'new' Yankee Stadium, and like most Tiger late game blunders, the Tigers lost in blazing style in a torrent rain to the Yankees as Zumaya gave up a 3 run homer and the lead. Pretty terrible news this morning, Zumaya going to the DL, he didn't look great last night, but didn't look like he was in pain either. Too bad there was not a rain delay while the Tigers actually had the lead.
In any event, we will go without paid cable until the beginning of winter(or earlier if the Tigers make the playoffs). Then we will get the service that can be added on with our local internet provider (free of contract-major +).
Until then, we have www.hulu.com (television shows) online, Netflix (DVD movie Rentals in the Mail), and a multitude of other time-oriented projects to fill in the time.
