so when I tried to sign up for it under my existing directv account... they said it wasn't available. So I cancelled directv anyway. They probably said it wasn't available because they wanted me to keep the full directv service right? So I used one of my rental property addresses in DC. When I entered the DC address it said it was available and I just signed up using that address, my side business email, and the credit card that has the same billing address as the rental property.
So now I am just going to stream it... just I would HBO, Youtube, NetFlix you name it
Soon there will be no traditional cable TV.... everything will be streaming/inter based
