The box cost may be the same, but there's usually a monthly "service" fee. If you'll show us an anonymized line-item bill, we might be able to see something.
It's almost as if people are the problem.

Yeah, directv hits you for $7 for each additional tv, but their upcharges for HD, DVR and Whole Home DVR are per account, not per TV.

I think it's $10 a month for DVR, and I think I pay $7 a month for their protection plan, which refreshes all the equipment every 2 years (there are no rental fees on the boxes - one DVR and then a wireless receiver for all the other TVs).
And in banks across the world
Christians, Moslems, Hindus, Jews
And every other race, creed, colour, tint or hue
Get down on their knees and pray
The raccoon and the groundhog neatly
Make up bags of change
But the monkey in the corner
Well he's slowly drifting out of range
