My father-in-law wants to switch to from cable. He has 2 TVs and needs a HD DVR and a 2nd receiver.
There was no option to mix HD DVR for 1st TV and SD for the 2nd TV. He could only get HD DVR and HD receiver.
The directv site offers genie for free and then wants $99 for the HD receiver.
If you decline the genie it wanted $199 for the HD DVR and $99 for the HD receiver.
They penalize you $199 for not getting a genie.
He wanted the Entertainment package. It said $40.99 mo and $99 receiver fee
Looking at the payments over time I see $40.99 for 10 months, then $50.99 for 2 Months, then after 1 year the price goes up to either $66 or $76 (I cannot tell exactly, which is it?). That is where he said "hmm... I cannot afford that price increase after 12 months, I am on a fixed income"
Any better way to reduce the payments after the 12 months?
Any better way for a new signup to skip these high receiver fees?
Why is there no genie option without $298?
Thanks for any help
