No ESPN plus price increase?

Hi Randerto. As programmers, including The Walt Disney Company, continue to raise rates, our costs to deliver their content continues to rise. While Disney holds their programming to demand unreasonable price increases, we are providing customers with assistance at TVpromise.com.  Disney and other major programmers routinely demand double-digit increases that grow exponentially year upon year. Kharl, DIRECTV Community Specialist

I entirely understand the rising cost of content across the industry but the timing around announcing price increases the week after dropping Disney/ESPN/ABC defies common logic as viewed through any customer-centric lens... 

Agreed, this price increase should have come after a compromise with Disney. FUBO offers more channels and a lower price. They also allow streaming on up to 4 devices instead of 2 by Direct tv stream. Thanks for playing the game Direct tv. You lose because now consumers are looking for other comparable cheaper options

The price increase should have come after an agreement with Disney. FUBO offers more channels at a lesser cost and up to 4 devices can stream at the same time. Direct tv loses because now formally content customers are shopping for better cheaper options. Good luck with your power play. FUBO here I come.

It says your not an employee but you have all of Direct TV information phone number under your post. WOW. Also I did not sign up to the Disney channel network. I signed up to Direct TV stream with a promise of certain channels. Good thing they r month to month. Makes it easier to leave.

You statement is incorrect or misleading. They only allow 2 tv devices to stream at one time. That is why I get the notification that there r to many streaming devices when I try to watch on a third tv.

Thanks for say I can go to FUBO. If it is a better service and cheaper why would I not switch. The point of the comment was to state Direct tv has opened the door for people to switch. Disney is at fault also but I do not have a subscription with them. Also good work on all the community awards. How do you get them?

Incorrect but thanks for showing me links

To be clear on FuboTV as one option (I've used them all) - I've had good quality and their UI is nice.  They offer plenty of simultaneous streams inside the home network (I've watched 4 simultaneous TV's inside my home network so far).  Outside the home network they offer more simultaneous streams than DTV; however, the remote streams cannot support TV devices if a TV device is being used on the home network - only mobile devices.  So remote users need to use an app specific to the channel/content they are watching using FuboTV credentials if they want to watch on a TV device (eg the ESPN app).  Maybe this clarification will help some make decisions. 

Tell that to the TV's when we start up the 3rd

How did you get all of your certification?

If there are certifications given. As an informed customer, I would like to know how they are awarded. If you just registered and were given them with no merit then they are worthless. I wish to know your credentials as opposed to just taking you at your word

Thank you

Yep got the price increase email as well.  Agree dispute with Disney and I can’t watch Sports Center or ESPN and raising rates by $8 a month?  Which genius thought this was a great time to do this.  With other subscriptions (Amazon, Peacock, Paramount, Netflix, max, Hulu, Apple TV, Disney plus,  AMC, mgm, ESPN+ and Stars) Direct has done me a favor.  Their now 120 a month is going to cover my other subscriptions and will deal without direct.  Freaking (Edited per community guidelines)

We are reaching out to let you know your DIRECTV STREAM CHOICE price is increasing by $8. These changes will be applied on your next bill cycle effective on or after October 6, 2024. See all 2024 pricing details here.
