I knew that was wrong before I even researched because the Game of Thrones finally had 19.3 million viewers. Anytime facts are stated on a message board, links are normally required. Last time I checked Directv had 30 million and Dish had 20 million, that was about five years ago.

I just did a quick search and Directv is down, I believe the streaming services are killing them. The 1.5 million refers to DirectvNow streaming, no satellite required. The regular Directv satellite subscribers as of April 2019 is 22 million.
