Updated software

I had a supposedly direct manager call today and wanted me to pay $195 for a software update. He had my billed amount and last four digits of the card I use to pay my bill. Is this legit or a scam?

SCAM!!!  DTV software updates are free.  That info is out there to anyone to buy on the dark web.  It is rare for DTV to call you.
