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.

Bleeding DirecTV Subscribers, AT&T Throws Five Streaming Services At The Wall

First of all, what I put in my quote...DID come from Kenswing's link.

Secondly, that's why I put "interesting," because I'm not familiar with subscriber numbers from either of them...and was quite surprised.

So thanks for providing your link, as I always appreciate those who do research...and provide proof/links.

However, in just a quick search (gotta go) I can't seem to find...a current comparison of total subscribers.
