I had direct TV for about 10 years, 2 receivers. Every year when the bill went up I called retention dept and they put it back. Was always about $60. On the 10th year, they wouldnt forego the increase, so I cancelled and went with Dish. 2 recievers, HD, DVR, sling and the bill is $57 month. I've had it for 4 years and have had to call a time or two when they tried to increase it, but so far they have kept my bill at $57 .
