My local TV cable provider in Mass. is going up on all services (TV, Internet, Phone) across the board, 25% on TV is the killer !

I'm thinking of cutting the cord, and have been reviewing Direct TV a satelite option. They have a 12 month special of $19.99 (I undersatnd this is a 'teaser rate', then the rate goes up 1 yr).
I know it's a 'bait & switch' tactic, but I''d be willing to grab for 1 year.

Does anyone have Direct TV?
If so, please provide your feedback on service, especially during the winter snow months causing reception interference.

As a last option, I'll ditch the whole TV cable/satelite, and just use my Apple TV and Roku at the Lake. Apple TV has most of the TV options I watch anyways.... Not much on regular cabel TV anyway, unless you like 'Kadashians' or some other moronic reality TV show. I can't see paying for 100 + TV channesl I don't watch !

Thanks !
