Cable TV service

did you know that you are being charged by direct TV when their service is down, I never had a problem with comcast cable. but due to where I live direct TV is the only service I can get, I can't wait to drop these guys. if you all want to hurt direct TV when ever you service is down call them when it comes back on and make them give you credit for all that time you had no TV service, they have to give you credit. and if enough people would do that just think how much money they would lose! then maybe this company will get there act together.
