I got the idea from this email I got yesterday

quote:

Important changes to your DIRECTV account.


quote:

Thank you for choosing to be a DIRECTV® customer. We are grateful for your business, and it’s a pleasure to serve you.
Throughout 2021, two substantial trends affected all video providers: we saw programming costs continue to rise along with higher-than-normal inflation across our suppliers. Unfortunately, despite our efforts to absorb some of these costs, your price will increase effective
January 23, 2022.
We continue the efforts to keep costs low without compromising on your entertainment experience, content, and features. While competitors continue to shrink their offerings, your DIRECTV team maintains a steadfast commitment to carrying the most robust channel line-up in the industry and unrivalled leadership in premium sports and news content. In addition, we continue to invest in providing better customer service, releasing new technology upgrades that will enhance our signal reliability, and launching improved features. We are also delivering greater flexibility to watch what you want, when you want it, from virtually anywhere in the U.S.
New rates are available at directv.com/directvpricing and will be effective on January 23, 2022. Customers on an introductory promotional discount will continue at their current rate until the promotional period ends while maintaining eligibility. At that time, new rates will take effect. It’s also important to note that customers who change their base package may no longer be eligible for specific discounts.
Regional Sports Network (RSN) fees are being adjusted by ZIP code viewing areas to better align with content. As a result, some customers will see no change; others will see up to a $2 monthly increase; some will see a decrease. Visit directv.com/DTVAPP/content/rsn_fee to see your new RSN fee.
There’s a lot of renewed energy and excitement at DIRECTV! We appreciate you trusting DIRECTV with your passion for premium entertainment.
Your DIRECTV Team

I am not. I don’t give 48.4% reductions when someone calls to cancel a policy.

I had the same. I'm down to one at $6 per month and the family uses my account with the app on their phone when they want to listen in their cars or wherever.
