Yep, the email notifications to all should be starting soon for both DIRECTV STREAM and DirecTV as they do every year.

Did you have a question, or just sharing an email you got?

The price increases for streaming, satellite and cable are yearly events, just like Thanksgiving and Christmas. 

All the prior rate hikes from the channel owners result in this annual price adjustment.

Everybody should be getting an email with the details and a link to more info like prior years. So curious if the OP has a question as they just copied the info.

No question just passing along the info

Well that is important info. But with DirecTV sending that info out to all customers, it seems a bit redundant.

Don’t see the big deal

Not a big deal at all. Just seems odd to copy/paste a notice that all customers should be getting. That's all. As I said, still good information.

Don’t see the big deal

I agree.  Thanks for the info, @jtshep1.  I had not seen it yet and who knows when or if the email might arrive and maybe it just gets lost in the holiday hustle and bustle.  Now I know not to be surprised when the next bill gets auto-paid.

supportable if they offer 4k content into the stream service

@dessinge 

This has practically nothing to do with 4K. Problem is that networks keep increasing costs to TV providers. Their costs go up, even for non-4K content, then our bills go up accordingly.

I know cost are going up for all Tv Providers. They just need to watch and take precautions, there are a lot of streaming services out there offering more for less.

If the streaming service you are referring to offers you more for less, then why are you still here?

It was because of sports but that is not the case anymore. We did leave Directv for almost 2 years and went to Youtube TV. Then Youtube Tv lost Espn the week before the Bowl games so we called DTV and they had plan at a cost we could live with so we changed back and dropped Youtube Tv. It is a hassle to change services and Directv has been competitive so we just stayed with them. We can change back to Youtube Tv anytime now that we have several streaming services and would not miss a beat any where. I hope this answers you WHY question.

Unfortunately, that is what most viewers of sports do. It's a hassle, but if you are a sport enthusiastic, that is what one has to do.

I fell for the "GO BIG" package back in 2016.  It was advertised for $35 for life.  That was a lie!
