it's one of my fav's because of that junk lolI can't believe the asking price for ALTITUDE SPORTS would be that much considering the junk and lack of sports on it.
the concerts are nice blah blah blah
I have two "RSN"s in my market and the directv link said my RSN fee is $0.00.
I suppose there might be an exception if one of them is DIRECTV owned (ROOT in my case) or if the second RSN doesn't cost DIRECTV too much. I can't believe the asking price for ALTITUDE SPORTS would be that much considering the junk and lack of sports on it.
No exception here. I'm now paying another $1.82 for a channel - Root Sports RM - that between the wife and I we watch a handful of hours a year at most and could most certainly live without. Just effing lovely.
We all pay for channels that we don't want. Some are sports channels, some are youth oriented, some directed at women or men.
I have not seen this yet on my bill (maybe I have missed it or just lucky) but if customers are getting an itemized charge for a channel they don't want, then they should have the right to have that channel removed from their service.
the RSN fee is just a fee. The only way to get rid of the RSN fee is to switch to a package that doesnt include your local rsn (entertainment, family, select)
I'll cancel my service before I drop to a package without Altitude.
Not to mention, Root Sports RM is owned by D*, which means each month they're dropping by for an extra kick in the sack simply because they can.
Just another example of spreading the increase around, not just on packages. I'm not sure why since there's nothing added on the sports pack, I think sports cost is taking it's toll.

and now that I have moved (and therefore would have to pay for the programming) I did cancel my Directv due to it getting too expensive. Going OTA only
I think I'm going to have to make some changes too, it's $115/mo now for Choice Ultimate + HD + 3 receivers, one of which I can't even use because it's a H25 and I left my dish when I moved because the new place already had one but it's a non SWM SL5. I'd have to "move" my service to home to get movers connection to install a new dish with SWM SL5 for the H25 and then "move" back so that I get the local channels I want. PITA. Know anyone giving away a SWM SL5 LNBF?
It just got too expensive. When I called to cancel Directv tried to save me. I did laugh when they told me I could get a free Genie upgrade if I did the movers connection
ummm I already HAD one. A HR34
The few things that I really wanted to keep I copied to a DVD. Already had a Tivo Series 3 with lifetime and recently picked up a Tivo HD with service on it until September. The lady said "its broke"....nah just had to push the cable from the hard drive back in to the motherboard

Should I call movers connection? Can it reduce my bill? I don't want any equipment upgrades other than my D12 needs to be swapped for a HD receiver just so that the tv it is on has access to all of the same channels (HD Exclusives & MPEG4 channels (Nasa)).

the movers connection is just that.....they move your service to a new address. They try and upgrade people to a Genie to probably get them back in a 2 year contract.
if you upgrade equipment you would have a new 2 year agreement.
I didnt speak to movers group when I cancelled. I ended up speaking to retention.
Does it trigger a 12 or 24 month commitment to a mover's connection service? If yes is there any other way for not getting a commitment. I understand the equipment upgrade for 24 month commitment, But if I'm just simply moving the existing equipment to the new location, What would be the install price for a movers if I'm not eligible for free mover's service?, I currently have 2 DVR's HR44 and HR24 and 2 HD receivers both H24's, plus Slimline SL5 Dish with SWM 16.

no contract extension if you keep the same equipment. When I moved to the apartment (from my house) there was no extension.
If you upgrade equipment then there is the contract extension
You could do your own install if you know how .... another option would be to contact a local installation company to do the install.
