Yes, we call the every year and they cut a few bucks off our bill. But we still end up paying about $100 a month.

What gets me is the whole house HD fees, DVR fee, We have one 70" TV. But we have to pay all these extra fees etc, not just the programing package.
They have the best programming and picture, but the price just keeps going up.

We have decided that we can live without the NFL pkg, since we have football on Sun, Mon and Thurs. We also decided this is the last year for the NBA package. But even without those, it is $100 a month. I am tired of begging for discounts.

We would love to think we could be happy with the 3 networks, the ESPN1 & 2 and Video services like netflix etc. and an antenna. It is probably worth trying. If it is a fail, DTV always gives great deals to new customers, so we could come back to them.
