I would appreciate some input. Here is my situation. I am a current direcTV customer and have been for 12 years. I have 3 DVRs (for 3 HD TVs) and the Choice Xtra Classic package. We don't watch much TV live, just what is recorded on our DVRs. We watch the major networks, Comcast Bay Area for Giants games, WGN for the occasional Cubs game, ESPN, TBS, Ion, and USA. Never have watched a PPV movie. DTV is charging me $111/month. My wife called them recently and asked for a discount since we were long-time customers. Their response was, no, just pick a different channel package. I would, but in order to keep getting Giants games, the least expensive package would save me about $9/month. BFD, and thanks for nothing direcTV. I would switch to DISH in a second, but here's the thing: DirecTV in my house has been rock solid since I moved here 5 years ago. Had to swap out 2 of the 3 DVRs the first month, but that was pretty painless and since then it just flows. Earlier this year DTV tacked on an additional $4/month charge, now there is something called a "Regional Sports Fee" since February ($1.82). All because they can. So what would you do if you were me? Thanks for your time.
