Are they insane? $5 more for premier and it doesn't even include the DVR fee anymore like it did in the past.

All the changes from last to this year and you guys didn't expect a price change. HBO ? Maybe their prices went up? I guess I expect a small increase on items like this, what less than 3% on my bill, not really shocked here.

If you object then the best option is to cut services back.

Bummer, looks like I might have to downgrade myself, issue is, I am on a package that does not exist anymore, so I'm not sure how I'm gonna work this.

However, from an outsiders perspective, Premier really went up $11 since the DVR service was dropped.
