Unlimited Dvr cost

Hi, I’ve been a Directv stream customer for almost a year. I pay 10 dollars a month for unlimited Dvr and I see that new customers get it for free. Is there a way so could also have this for free?

Thanks

Bill

Cancel your service and sign-up again using a different email. Not sure if the promotion is still going on now or not. Have not checked lately.

They are going to have to do it for everybody. Hulu just announced free unlimited and youtube has been that way since it started.

They don't have to do anything. Those that want unlimited and can find the service that offers them the channel they want can go with another service. As for me I could care less about recording to a degree. I prefer to use the network apps to watch content ondemand. Besides the network apps offer better content longer and perform better then most services.

I called and they said they were doing it for new customers first and would eventually add it in for everyone. My comment to them was that it wasn’t fair but that didn’t change the answer. 
I appreciate everyone’s input. Guess we will wait and see.

I would be surprised if they did it for old initial grandfathered discounted subscription subscribers (like me). They have never in the past passed anything to those subscribers (like me).

@wvroland That's what they told me when free unlimited dvr for new customers was first offered. The live chat rep told me existing customers would get it also in a few days. That rep was incorrect. Luckily, I had a screenshot of the chat and used it when I called to gripe. They looked at the chat transcripts and gave me that 15 bucks off Ultimate.
