I had Direct TV and was out of contract and just canceled it. They said said they would pro-rate the bill for the month and credit my credit card for the amount they owe me. I see that they are now charging my account for the first receiver which is usually free and HD for which I had free HD for life when I signed up. Does anyone know if this is their policy when someone cancel's their account to charge these extra's. I know it's not much but it doesn't seem right. I couldn't resist going with Time Warner because I was paying $89 a month with Direct and with cable I will be paying $96 including tax for more channels,1 HD DVR and 1 HD receiver plus internet and phone with no contract for 24 months.
