content: Signed up for Direct TV - the privacy invasion is underway So - today, my AT&T provider offered me direct TV for 60/month over next 2 years (contract with prorated penalty for canceling).  Of course lots of trip mines like they give you HBO/Cinemax/Showtime for 3 months for free but will rape you if you dont cancel it in time.   Now - they added NFL package and if you dont cancel THAT in time, get ready for a $350 bill.  Interesting. But most interesting - they are selling and pushing your usage and personal info to an infinite number of collectors.  And even via their unsubscribe options, you can not successfully unsubscribe.  Some of the links I could not access.  This one is informative - been 100% for a loooong time with no conclusion.  I wonder why most are not complete.  At&t "privacy" If you sign up for dish today - you are signing up for your personal info to be dumped across the world to anyone that wants it.  What you watch, what you click on.  If your device has voice or video capture, that is subject also.  Opting out is not an option (as you can see).
