Dish And DirecTV Hike Prices For 2014

If you're a Dish Network or DirecTV subscriber, be prepared for another round of price hikes.

Following the trend from recent years, nearly every available package from the two satellite TV providers will increase in price, with fee hikes ranging between $2 and $5. Also in an annual tradition, both companies began notifying customers of the price hikes just before Christmas.

DirecTV's (DTV, Fortune 500) 4.4% average price increase is higher than last year's 3.2% hike, according to Nomura Equity analyst Adam Ilkowitz. Its base "Entertainment" package will cost $58 per month next year, up $3 from last year's price, and the top-of-the-line "Premier" package will cost $130, up $5 from a year ago.

    Stop paying for TV. Get an antenna and stream it off the Internet. Mass defection of subscribers is the only thing that will make rates more reasonable.
