Oh that really ticked me off. We've been paying for just a few measily HD channels and finally get some more; then they take them away from us and want 5 bucks extra for the few we had.

Yep.

Before they expanded the number of HD channels they were included in the HD fee.

Now with expanded number of channels, half of which are subscriber channels like HBO, etc. they take away the five we used to get included in the HD fee.

NFL Sunday Ticket/NFL Super Fan and NASCAR packages cause me to overlook a lot of DirecTV faults.

Do you like the NASCAR package? I’ve thought about ordering it. Hubby seems to think you don’t get to see the whole race though. How does it work?

Geeez. I just got a call from DirectTV. (I sent a blistering letter about it.) Some girl was reading from a script about the price hike. “I DO apologize for the inconvenience.”

The bottom line, tuff turkey. If you want the channels, pay the extra five bucks. We can package them anyway we want.

What ticks me off the most is that I have been such a fan of DirectTV—until now. It’s not about the five bucks, it’s about screwing around with customers.
