What's wrong with the thread title? New satellite customers no longer have the $15 ARS fee and the receivers are now $10. New satellite customers still have the two year agreement.

If they have a Stream account that was in place before the "directv via internet" was a thing they may be a $125 purchase option. DirecTV has sold the steaming boxes to older accounts (both Osprey @ ~120, Osprey Refurbs @ $50 and Air @~$120) that were on stream before that change, sort of a...

Yes you can now lease Gemini Air when signing up for a Genre pack, $10/month per device, no free device.

I doubt existing customers will see any change. Why? They still charge HR, DVR, and Whole home as separate fees for many older customers. Some get their first receiver free, some don't. More recent customers pay the $15 advanced receiver fee and pay for their first box, so still totaling...

Looks like DirecTV is dropping the $15/month advanced receiver fee for new accounts - finally retiring a fee that doesn't really make sense in a streaming world. Also gone is the two year contract for streaming via internet customers. The differentiation between "via internet" and "steam"...

You can do a really basic setup with Dish or DirecTV satellite for $78/month, one basic receiver, without locals. DirecTV entertainment, one receiver, no locals is $78/month for two years. Dish Top 120, basic Hopper Duo is $78/month for two years. Dish gives $200 gift card right now as well...

If you are in an Xfinity service area their new Sports & News package may be intriguing. $70/months, does NOT require the broadcast TV fee that their normal packages do ($30/month in my area, over $40/month in some areas). Includes locals, major sports and all major news networks. What is of...

Thanks dtv757 for the *years* of service tracking and sharing the 4K broadcasts. Here is the link to the latest at AVS forum for anyone looking: https://www.avsforum.com/threads/2024-4k-live-events-discussion-non-nfl-12-dec-2024.3291593/latest We'll close and lock this thread since it is no...

Welcome to Satelliteguys! A few suggestions: - Set a favorites list in your guide - Press record twice to record the series - Download the DirecTV app Not too much specific to suggest unless you have questions. Most of all, enjoy your TV

Will probably be a while before we see that happen. Somewhere I read they are looking to create smaller packages and that is when it could come into play. Until they debut new packages I wouldn't expect to see anything, and if we do it would probably be a streaming add-on like they do with...

I stand corrected, shows just how poor their operations are that a name change and on-air graphics change would disrupt their transmissions, when there is no change to carriage agreements or how they deliver their content. Diamond Sports need to go away sooner than later, but somehow they keep...

Assuming you are a steam customer based on the post. If it was an issue in the DirecTV app you could try downloading the FanDuel Sports app and login with your DirecTV Stream login to see if it works coming from their server. If your experience is the same it is likely the feed and no further...

That's awesome that you were able to use it on the HS17, that's only the second report I've seen of this since they updated the software. Also pretty cool that you found a new unused AM21 - most of those are pushing 12-15 years old at this point, I think mine are from 2008.

I think this may be the case and the website had an issue for a while. I tried a pretend order tonight and there was no install fee. Could change and add one if someone has bad credit after they submit their info, but it is no longer applying a $200 fee to everyone in the cart. Glad to see...

I guess it’s the end of an era, website now shows an install fee for new customers on satellite - a $200 fee. Crazy, I guess they want you to stream or pay full-fare. Satellite new customers promo is also $5 higher than the stream via internet new customer price.

I think this is a good assessment of how the FTC would look at this. The TV landscape has change, no concern of consumer issue in DirecTV and Dish merging or an acquisition. Mobile, on the other hand, T-Mobile couldn’t acquire Boost as part of the Spring acquisition due to anti-consumer...

This is terrible management. If someone makes the call to delay the planned price increase until you can get the Disney deal done, any announced increase will be accepted as "expected" and customers blame Disney. By doing this right at the start of the blackout, they appear greedy and...

For anyone specifically after ESPN & ESPN2, Sling Orange is $20 for the first month, $40 after, DVR option is free for the first month as well (normally $5). Not a bad option for the live sports especially as supplemental if the dispute only goes a short time.

Well it is official, I guess it went offline at 5pm Mountain time of all things, 7pm ET

I think that is a very positive change that they are now discounting for users that don't need locals via satellite and investing in better support of locals via antenna, something they have not done in many years. LCC (or AM21) on the Genie 2 was something I never thought we would see.

You won't have much leverage if you have existing discounts or until that 10 months of contract passes. You could tell them you are thinking of cancelling, the cancellation fee is $200, see if they offer a deal to make it worth not paying the $200, tell them you are looking at Dish and it is...

Report here that DirecTV is dropping the 30 episode limit for Cloud DVR, for Stream and via Internet, except grandfathered accounts with 20 hour DVR limit. https://thedesk.net/news/directv-stream-cloud-dvr-unlimited-internet/

Yeah this is an interesting strategy, they did it with Nick Jr. a few years ago. You have to opt-in by the deadline to keep your stations if desired. Unlike grandfathering, buy doing it this way they can drop a big group that does not opt-in. Likely kick starts some savings toward the more...

I was thinking back to when Dish did not provide guide data if you dropped their locals, despite that they had it in their system. I think they changed that over the years and now provide guide data for using DVR on locals. I'd expect DirecTV does the same and allows the guide data for DVR...

Very interesting transition, Dish has done this for years, same savings - $12/month. The real key question will be if anyone that removes locals will receive guide data for the OTA locals using an LCC or AM21. I can't recall how DirecTV handled that, as they do have a few markets without...
