I see your point. In my situation I just don't feel like I'm being screwed with the new model compared to the old model. I went from $125 a month with directv 5 or 6 years ago to less than $60 a month for youtube tv ( with unlimited cloud dvr), netflix, and espn+, and I can watch all cfb games in high def now. With directv you were lucky to get maybe 2 zips games a year. Just comparing then (5 years ago) to now.
