This kind of shows your previous post in a different light. If you had wanted to be clear, you would have written it as Directv Now instead of Directv now. Because DISH charges $5 for a receiver fee, you're going to a streaming service for your grandmother. That's like saying that since Ford charges too much for cruise control, you're going to take the subway.
For the record, I wasn't directing my comment toward you. There are some on here who complain every time a new fee or price increase comes up, berating the provider as greedy and incompetent. My point was and still is..............it's the bottom line that counts, regardless of how the charges and fees add up to get there. I think you understand that and will make your choices based on that bottom line. So will many others, some of whom have stayed with DISH for many years, bitching the whole time.
