DirecTV is great....
but they do tend to nickle and dime you....
it's amazing how quick the $114 Premier package turns into a ~$194 bill..
Not to mention having to pay $99 per HD reciever ($199 for HDDVR) ( I have 1 HDDVR, 5 HD, and 2 basic recievers), that you apparently don't actually own... they give you a $5 per reciever lease fee per month..
And if you deactivate a reciever.. say to upgrade and older non-HD to and HD...
not only do you have to pay the $99 to get the HD reciever, they'll hit you with a $50 non-return fee, pdq.. even though it took them 6 weeks to ship out the return box.
So there's
$114 for the package..
$40 for lease fees...
$10 for HD access..
$6 for the protection plan
$7 for DVR service
$5 for the HD Extra pack..
+taxes...
(+ the $800 spent on recievers i don't own)

Still though... the PQ is infinitely better than Comcast was..
