Okay - here is the scoop..

We have had direct tv since we moved into this house 10 years or so.
We have decided we would like a hardware upgrade to DVR..

Direct Tv wants 100+ dollars for the hardware upgrade, $20.00 for shipping and handling. (but they will throw in free installation - Wow i can plug the damn receiver in myself!)..

Anyway if i was a brand new customer i would get this equipment for free, so i feel like i am being screwed for being a loyal customer for ten years..

I really like the Direct Tv Programming and would like to keep it, anyone know a way around this?
