My dad has directv and they regularly have issues. He wasn't able to get NBA games for weeks, due to some software glitch (the entire channel was unavailable to him, for unknown reasons).

Directv is a distributor, not a producer, so the stakes aren't as high.

That’s a distinction the average person wouldn’t make.

But it has the potential to affect more people. Cable providers can be regional, tv productions national/international.
