February 2011 Price Increases

[jcrandall]

DirecTV has announed their Price Increases for 2011.

This year effective February 10th, generally it is applied to your first billing cycle after Feb 10th.

All Current packages (Choice, Choice Extra, Choice Ultimate) increase $2.

All Legacy packages (like Total Choice, etc) increase $3.

I received clarification the Premier will NOT increase, Premier packages will stay the same as last year.

The big one: Extra Receivers increase $1 to $6 each, first time this changed in forever.
(Also, the verbage now is first two receivers are $6, so they could start charging $6 to one receiver customers via this wording).

HBO goes up $1 to $15.99.

Spanish packages go up $1.50, except Optimo Mas Plus DVR, which drops $2.

I don't mind the $2 or $3 increase too much, this is pretty normal each year.

The $1 increase in receivers is a bit alarming, for many people like me that is a $5 increase. Dish has done this several times, and now some receivers cost as much as $17 extra at Dish. I hope this is not a sign of changes to come at Directv, as they have not followed that trend.

Thanks for the update Jason. It's better then I feared it might be. The content providers are out of control with their price increases.



Off Topic.....good luck next weekend.....I hope RR leaves after
