How to Cancel DirecTV
DirecTV is one of the largest providers of satellite television service in the United States. Because your DirecTV equipment is leased rather than purchased, DirecTV requires you to sign a contract when setting up service. Canceling your DirecTV service is easy, but keep in mind you will be billed an early termination fee.
