I've been with Directv for 11 years. I found that when they quote a price, it doesn't include tax, 50 states, 50 different amounts. Just like everything else, since Florida doesn't have income tax we pay more for other stuff. On my bill it is usually about $22 a month just in taxes, maybe you're taxes are $16, that would make the difference. If it wasn't for NFL Sunday Ticket I would probably go with a streaming service, and I believe they record using clouds so it's almost unlimited.
