Double Billing - NFL Ticket

I hope the media takes the information to the public:

I am very curious to understand what Direct TV is being allowed by the FCC to double bill Direct TV NFL Ticket subscribers. Mind you most of us are real “ football “fanatics” and are certainly willing to pay a reasonable fee for a sport we love. However, Direct is taking advantage of their customers.

I purchased a 50” HD TV; invested in a very nice Bose sound system, subscribed to Direct TV HD services (billed monthly); and purchased the NFL Ticket. All set and ready to watch FOOTBALL. When today I find the NFL ticket subscription fee ($300) does not include HD programming. There is an additional charge ($99) to the monthly ($10) access fee for HD programming!!! THIS IS DOUBLE BILLING FOR THE SAME ACCESS. How can a company be allowed to differentiate one program, when they charge a monthly fee for access to that programming? This was never communicated to the subscribers. During the telecast last week... There was no mention of a "free" preview during the entire day.

Direct TV had a class action law suit several years ago regarding the NFL ticket. I was a part of the action.initially, Direct TV charged its customers a separate fee for each television that received NFL Ticket. Now they are in essence attempting the same type of tactics.

They have the monopoly on NFL Ticket…. When is enough, enough???
