Re: Are you really getting more for your dollar?

Currently there are marketed bundles to attempt to make it appear less expensive.

Eg. Broadcast basic = $13 (~40 channels)
Standard Analog = +$50/month for ~75 channels
Digital = $60/month for ~100 channels

'bundled' with HSI/VoIP then there are 'promos' for ~100/month + fees.

I am on DTV, and in 2004, I paid $45/month +5 extra/tuner
Now its $10/month higher, unless I purchase DVR service.

There's no lowering prices... just adding more services with a slight increase in price.

When I signed up with directv in 1997 the price was $29.95. Since then they have added a few more junk channels, a lot more shopping channels, outsourced their customer service to a foreign country to save labor costs and still raised the basic package to $52.95. Do not miss cutting the cord a bit.
