Sorry can't help. My damn xm cuts out all the time whenever it feels the need too. What a waste of money. Sending back will have to wait 2 weeks before new one. I'm looking forward to the break. FM here I come (for how long is up to xm).

I will keep TC Plus till August 27, unless some huge additions are added to this package. Let me know if anyone else got this deal or maybe a better one, because of a larger downgrade.

Just call and ask to downgrade your Dtv service. If you say its because of the price increase they will offer you $5.00 off to stay at your current package for 6 months. You may need to ask for this offer, but with a larger amount of downgrades right now due to the price increase they should...

Way to go jmhunter83! That's the spirit of National Downgrade Day. Only 11 days away. Kinda like waiting for Christmas, isn't it kids?

How many people read the message section of their bill?

And I'm sure there will be quite a few who downgrade and then realize they miss a channel or channels too much and upgrade again. Directv knows many will downgrade, but know they will still gain millions of new subs this year and that they will greatly offset any losses due to downgrades.

I'm not just talking downgading in March either. Some people already downgraded upon hearing of the price increases. I will wait till Feb. 28 and still most customers won't even be aware of any increase till sometime into March. Expect some people to wait a few months as they watch their...

Joseph I'm not even going off the poll. Rather what Directv is expecting in the form of downgrades. Whenever there is a price increase, people downgrade. With this being their largest price increase ever, they are expecting more people to downgrade. So like that poll or not it is close to...

No I don't go to Blockbuster or rent many movies. Downgrading will not lead to more movie rentals for me.

Double digits meaning double percentage points.

Keep checking that Tivo poll. It's up to nearly 17% either downgrading or disconnecting services.

Other than NFL Network, what worthwhile non shopping channels has Directv added in the last year? Wait NFL Network was added a little more than a year ago. So no new channels additions, but Trio and CNN fn/International go away. Yes satellite tv is still cheaper than cable, but were talking...

The only reason I brought up the poll on the tivo site, was that a previous post in this thread was saying how few were switching according to it. It's now over 16% who say they will either downgrade or cancel services. And my good friend in Boise who is a csr says that his supervisor has told...

Old price of Plus was $42.99 with locals. At 7% increase would be $3.01 (so the increase is just a hair under 7%.

There not going to take back the increase. I hope in the future they will be a bit less though. No one here including myself is going to go bankrupt over $3.00, it's more the point that a 7% increase is a bit steep when you factor the rate of inflation at between 2% & 4% yearly. The other...

Well the type of person on the tivo forums is more likely to carry more programming than most and not be as concerned about price as much.

Hey presidential polls where millions will vote are based on samples of just several hundred in some cases.

ericg...yes the rates (atleast for the plus package) did go up $2.00 last March. That's $5.00 a month. Concrap in my area raised their prices approx. $2.50 a year last and this Jan., do you see what I mean by cable sized increase.

I also work 6 days a week (own business) and I don't get to call in sick or miss a day so I have to have a newer vehicle that is reliable as I'm no mechanic. If it doesn't work...then I don't work. Otherwise I would drive something a bit older. And if I buy a new or newer vehicle and you say...

Ok I got you, sorry. Your right. And if they go back to more modest increases in the future it will be the last organized downgrade day. This site compared to other dbs sites seems to have a large amount of dbs cheerleaders, whereas no dbs provider can do any wrong. One post was even...

The newer vehicle was cheaper. No repairs, better mileage, and was a tax write-off. The old one had transmission go one month, then the drive train and to top it all off it got 8 mpg on a good day. Talk to any csr and they will say when increases come people do downgrade in much higher...

As of this post 11.68% were choosing downgrade with about 2.5% cancel subscription. I will just downgrade to Total Choice and if another big increase comes down the pipe next year, then I will look into the Para Todos packages.

No that's not saying that they all discontinue service. That's either downgrade or discontinue with most choosing to simply downgrade.

At the Tivo forum about 14% have indicated they would downgrade or cancel (and I didn't vote as I'm not registered there) that works out to approx. 1,820,000 subscribers downgrading or who cancel their service. If that holds true and I know that the poll is not scientific, it would send a very...

Thanks for all the great feedback via e-mail. Things are looking great for the first annual downgrade day. Hey when gas went up. I drove less. And when I had to replace a vehicle due to age, I went from a 8 cylinder @8mpg to a 4 cylinder @26mpg. A $1.00 increase, no problem. A $2.00...
