Direct tv rate hike.

[luckydog]

I've had direct tv suspended for 6 months to see if i could live without it and i can

I finally called them monday to cancel altogether. i got directed around to 3 or 4 people and near the end i was offer $5.00 off a month for a year, free tivo for a year and a $50.00 credit. all i had to do was agree for 12 more months service. it took a good 15 mins to cancel the service.

I didn't take their deal and today i get am email saying all their package rates and any other options are going up in price in march.
I didn't think my cancelling service would effect them that much

of course Circuitcity announced they were closing all stores right after i bought my new hd tv from Bestbuy
