Default It May Even Be Simpler

I have DirecTV and when we leave to come "up north" for the summer, I just call them and tell them to turn it off. At the same time, I tell them when to re-activate the service for when we plan to return. There's no charge at all, no required return of equipment, none of the nonsense that Comcast requires.

I do use Comcast for my cable modem. In my case, I own my own modem. But for them I have to call and put the account on "vacation". There's a monthly charge even though there's non one there to use the cable modem, but I can't remember how much it is.

We're 9-1/2 months TV, 2-1/2 months up north.
