DirecTV HD Charge

[haydoracin]

Do you suppose when DirecTV does away with SD channels they will do away with the $10.00 charge for HD? Since you won't have the option there shouldn't be an additional charge.

Sometimes, that's really not a bad thing to be electronic free. We do keep a variety of DVD's in the camper. We gave up DishTV and DirectTV a few years ago when they jacked prices so high it insane. We were down to bare bones service and still being charged a fortune. The nickle and diming has to stop somewhere. Maybe for you, this last $10.00 will be it.

$10 will not make any difference and even you can't go electronic free as your DVD player counts as well.
The OP asked a question and, of course, no one knows the answer. The following humor is a nice distraction but we all know things go up in price and so will this.

It will be just like when Dish started charging for local channels. I said I could get them OTA so I don't need them. They told me they have to be included.
These companies only give free and cheap stuff to "new" customers.

Dump it all and just use over-the-air television. You'll be much richer, and won't have to fret over that $10.00 at all.

Now why would they do that???? Well they might on paper. but up the cost of a subscription 15 bucks to make up for the 10 dollar loss. (or 25).
