I was bummed when DirecTV lost Esquire a few months back (so long to some wonderful marathons). I don't know, maybe they moved Esquire to a higher tier like DTV did with ESPN Classic, which we used to get but now we'd have to pay more for channels that were part of our package originally. This only encourages cord cutting, but it isn't easy if you have more than yourself to consider, or if high speed internet isn't available in your area. It would be some-what of an irony if you cancelled your DirecTV TV package as some sort of a quiet protest to only turn around and get satellite internet to stream your favorite TV shows from the internet - I believe DTV has aquired various satellite internet companies like Hughes, Wild Blue
