In January of 2024, DTV Satellite, retained me as a customer, having the Ultimate Package, for the same rate I was paying in 2023. I did not like the 2 rate increases that occurred. Years b/4 it was one rate increase per year. We will see for 2024, what rate increases will occur, due new contract negotiations. If only a $10 mo. rate increase, I will live with that.
I wish I was a new subscriber today, for the same Ultimate package with a 2 year contract, at a much reduced price. We can afford DTV Satellite, with all the channels we use, that streaming services do not offer. My wife records all her evening programs from various channels, to watch later. We also subscribe to Netflix, Prime, Paramount+, and Hulu, for other series and movies.
There are too many channels missing on YTTV and unavailable that we view regularly, as an example. Even their option packages do not cover enough. There is not that much money saved, if we switch over to DTV internet/stream. Perhaps being a new customer for streaming, there might be some savings, but still some channels missing. Can we do without those missing channels?
I am just brainstorming and what the future holds for DTV loosing customers and effect of price increases. I am fortunate to have their promotion discounts, both for TV and Internet over the years. With their Ultimate pkg with regional sports + Internet, and annual promotion, it has kept me as a customer, so far. Perhaps if DTV Satellite gives promotional discounts, when customers ask for it, they would retain more customers?
