That $15 covers what they paid out to get the NBC conglomerate back ... we'll 1/2 of that, the other half is profit for FUBO.

Same thing as every Other Streaming and or Sat/Cable company does, Customer always has to cover the new agreement cost.

Yup, and that's why I just switched back to Directv streaming. A little more money, but better channel selection and interface.

They called me just the other day ... I've been gone now for 1.5 years, after 20 years with them.

They asked why I left ... I told them Price .

Fyi, at the time I had the Ultimate Package ....
They offered to bring me back Streaming, with the Choice package .... then I asked "How Much ? "

They quoted me $109 after the initial deal to get you in, don't remember how long it lasted.

I passed.

New customer price is for 2 years if you get at least one Gemini Air. 3 months if you don't get a Gemini Air and the discount is less per month than the discount with the Gemini Air.

with the price increase it will be interesting to see what the subscriber loss is

have you tried to call in and threaten to cancel and see how that works out??? have you tried going back onto directv.com and making a new acct for discounts posing as a new sub.. it worked for me when ATT destroyed it

When I( talked with them a few weeks ago, they called me.
They offered me the Choice package (I had the Ultimate) (I also wasn't in from of my computer , so I couldn't check things out)
I figured if they could beat $80, I'd listen ... her best offer was $120, PASS...

The package I HAD with Sat was costing me $140 ... again HARD PASS.

they offered me the new customer deals and a 300.00 prepaid visa to leave DISH along there were going to waive the 49.00 activation fee , the deal breaker was id'e be stuck with an HR-54 and not an HS-17. and there's no more wired gemini's for new subs or that's what i was told. and billing and tech support is still in the ATT eco system

I just got a wired Gemini a few weeks ago. Also my bill comes from DIRECTV…not AT&T though I do understand not all peoples bill have been switched back to DIRECTV yet.

Personally, IF I ever went back with Sat, I would definitely take the HR54 ... but each set up is different from house to house, what works for you ... in reality, I would probably go streaming instead, as my needs have changed, I no longer need a portable recvr to use while camping.

I doubt NESN is doing great with the Sox in the tank.
