We are both in full control of our subscriptions, and don't have to go through a broker to make any programming changes.

Years ago I used a 'broker' for a DirecTV subscription. There was an annual fee of $60, plus a $10 charge for any time I wanted to make a programming change.

If you use a broker, and they decide to close up shop, you could be left with satellite receiving equipment that is worthless.

I may very well go this route...I've had an offer I may not be able to refuse.
