Your DirecTV service that you love (even though they missed their target of 100 HD channels by the end of 2007) and you wouldn’t get rid of for anything? Well, it’s going up in prices, and it’s affecting most everybody. Here’s a breakdown of the price increases from Satelliteguys.us:
Choice $52.99 (up $3.00)
Choice xtra $57.99 (up $3.00)
Plus DVR $62.99 (up $3.00)
Plus HD DVR $72.99 (up $3.00)
Premier 104.99 (up $5.00)
HBO $14 (up $1.00)
So are we paying more for their screw-ups and a sign of them bringing new channels (even though they already increased the price of the HD pack earlier), or perhaps just wanting to be like cable and increase prices along with everything else in the industry? I personally think it’s the latter, that they’re trying to catch up with the industry, which personally doesn’t make sense, but most of the time Corporate America doesn’t make sense. New prices go into affect 2/27/08 and will affect all except those with promotions.

Price is the reason why I went to DirecTV certainly not for the pictue. Because every little cloud that passes over it goes off and thats when you want to watch tv if it is raining outside now they are going to charge me more to see nothing why dont they just send me a letter with free cable subscription
Yeah, little sarcasm. It’s really quite sad how often DirecTV raises their rates. It’s almost like they are becoming the very people they mock, aka, cable companies.
