DirecTV Price Increase Effective 2/27/08

[damaged]

looks like dish ain't by itself anymore.

Or cable.

OH well, There goes my HD extra pack!

Knew it was going to happen. This will definitely put me over $100 per month not including HD NFL package.

Any changes to the "lease" fees? DVR, HD tuners?

 

[Jhon69]

How much is Total Choice Plus going up????

When they do this stuff I like to drop something and make my bill even less than it was before. Goodbye protection plan. BTW How on earth is HBO more valuable???

Think you will have to wait for D11 to see.

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

Vurb, I normally agree with you, but this time, no. Actually its time to CANCEL your service and tell them why. D* used to pride themselves being cheaper than cable. It isn't anymore. CANCEL. its just tv.

And, just in case anyone wants to know, yep, I did. Cancel that is. But it was the abortion of a DVR that put me over the edge.

Cox in norfolk is looking better.

 

[Jhon69]

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

It includes it if you had it before the change.Your grandfathered in as long as you don't change your package.

Think it's premature to get upset until the official directv price increase document is posted.

Seems like of crying over a few dollars to me. Just cut out a burger or three during the month; cut back on the beers and smokes and there you go.

My post was not directed specific to you because you were above mine; thus I did not quote you; it was to the group.

I totally agree. Like someone has said before. You pay a lot of money for a really good hdtv and gripe over a few dollars a month to make it look good. Besides. When has a tv provider come out and said there will be a decrease in price this year.

Well there's other things to know like how much will the grandfathered packages go up?ect.ect.

I was just trying to make a funny.

This is good!

Looks like DISH Network is still a good deal afterall even after the price increases!

I agree - if you want half the amount of HD channels for MORE money.

 

[Jhon69]

I'm trying to figure out why Dish raised prices when they really didn't add that many channels?.
Oh yeah I remember now Lawyer's fees!.

Hopefully the $10 hd package will be worthwhile...if they ever announce what it is...

 

[sksatellite]

Hmmm in their select choice, we only watch frequenly about 12 channels, others are most crap to us. Going to switch to Dish as new customer.
