I’ve not used a local provider but I’ve Been using Directv for my tv service provider since 2008. Their customer service is the best„ bar none. The TV service continually updates it’s services and is adding new items to assist with viewing. I highly recommend Directv. I’ve h had Comcast, and while their WiFi is much faster, their customer service, in my opinion is not good at all, and their service is ok at best. Go for Directv… is worth what you pay.
