a little bit bigger than in recent years; last year and the year before it was about a 4-5% increase.
and last year, there wasn't an increase on the additional receiver fees. year over year, it's bigger, but in the grand scheme, costs are higher overall for everything.

I hate seeing the receiver fees keep going up, I've reduced my receivers the past couple years to reduce this expense, and it continues to increase.
From memory, are the doing the increase a month earlier this year? I thought in the past it took effect in mid/late Feb, this year late Jan.

I may be proven wrong, but I think they will be a bit lower this year. Maybe raise fees again? Anything to claim they are the lower price leader.wait til Dish does theirs
Damn - they are adding the RSN fee to Michigan too (which previously didn't have one). $1.97 - and we only have one RSN.
So for example, Xtra with two receivers, that is a $7/mo increase.

The price increase took effect I think the first week of February or so. For some reason, February 8th, 2015 rings a bell, but that may or may not have been the exact date. Either way, it was around then. It's a little earlier, but not that much.
Funny...Dish almost always posts their price increase First and Directv follows suit a few weeks later. I sense the tables have turned on that on...wait til Dish does theirs
I hold the programmers more responsible for creating this situation.
The sports programmers—most especially ESPN—charge high for their live games and a large infrastructure (including team salaries and broadcasting rights).
I do have to give props not just to cord-cutters but also the many Millenials who just aren't that into Cable TV.

Dish just announced theirs...$5 increase on packages AND a increase on receiver fees
Dont forget that many more areas will have an additional RSN fee this coming year from DIRECTV.

Of course DISH still does not have 24/7 HD RSN's so most will be ok with this unless you don't watch sports.
on DISH most of the premiums are going DOWN $4 a month while they are going up on DIRECTV.
And according to DISH their DVR fee is still lower then DIRECTV's.

Directv Base packs are going up $4-8, Premiums $2-5, and RSN fees $1.97, and $.50 per box fee increase.
That's seems High.

The RSN fees vary per area. You can check your RSN fee at http://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/content/rsn_fee
After seeing more of the price increase on Dish, I'm thinking even with RSN fees, Maybe Directv is cheaper now.

Some areas already had a RSN fee last year so the amount may be only a buck or two. I know NY area had around a 4.50 RSN fee this current year.
Minneapolis has none right now...looks like its going to 1.97
Minneapolis is the same way. I'm sure it has to do with the Fox Sports ______ PLUS station that seems to add more and more programming to it
