I have DTV and want to know why I STILL pay $5.00 a month since 2003 for a leased receiver?
I think these companies are a complete rip-off. I sign a 2 year agreement, so That 5.00 leased receiver fee should be off my account. I technically own it. So my question FCC is when do I stop paying for a "leased" receiver. I mean It's been 7 years already.

Educate yourself before complaining on your soap box... go buy a 300+ dollar dct and rent a 2 dollar cable card... jackass

Why can't I buy a receiver instead of rent one? Why is there not ala carte' pricing? Why do we pay extra for HD programming? None of it makes any sense.
