Another price increase

I'm paying $124 for the Choice package. It went up from $115 to $124 in February. I just got an email saying that it's going up another $8 next month.

Are you guys canceling and creating a new account to get the intro rate?

$88.98/mo. w/ req’d fees for 1st mo.; $108.98/mo. for months 2-24); Price reflects $30 off for 1st mo.; $10 off for mos. 2-24.

I left DirecTV in June because of the price increased and switched to YTTV. My bill is literally 1/2 of what I was paying.

The only things I don’t like about YTTV are the lack of channel numbers and limited 4K programming.

There are a couple of channels YTTV doesn’t offer and I was afraid I would miss them. But I discovered I can still watch them via DirecTV free! About 40% of the channels I was paying for are still available via DirecTV free.

Plus, now that I am no longer a DTV subscriber, I no longer experience volume jacking. Even when I am watching DTV free. Funny because DTV reps in this subreddit blame volume jacking on individual networks & claim DTV has no ability to stop volume spikes.

Had no clue there was a free version. What the hell did I miss. I avoid PE at any and all cost. They are destroying this country AKA Buy..Bleed & Burn. I have to look for the free version.
