Direct TV

I'm very disgusted with direct tv.  I've been a customer for 30 years and my 90 yr old father for 10 yrs. My father is a big reds fan and has been watching them for 10 years on Bally sports channel 661 up until a few days ago and when we called was told he'd have to pay $29 more a month to keep watching which he can'tdo. If this is how they treat long time customers we will be canceling both of our services .

Hi @JamesDaniels. We value your commitment for 30 years along with your dad, and we regret that he must pay an extra $29 to continue watching his beloved team, Cincinnati Reds. Let's connect via DM to explore your dad's programming options.

If DTV raised the RSN fee then it was for everyone in that RSN not just you.

This was the closing to my conversation . Pretty much add 29 dollars or he loses the channel he's watched for 10 yrs

Hi, James. We're sorry you're no longer getting Ch. 661. Some customers on basic plans (ENTERTAINMENT or below) who were getting RSN networks at no charge will have them removed due to low viewership or equipment non-connection. If you want to get the channel back we can meet in DM to check programming options. Kiarha, DIRECTV Community Specialist

We value your feedback. In-market channels such as Bally Sports Cincinnati requires a base package of CHOICE and above. It includes a Regional Sports Fee that's used to pay for 'home' territory regional sports as part of your base package. Kiarha, DIRECTV Community Specialist
