Anyone disconnect their DirecTV service recently?

I'm going to be moving, and want to try another cable vendor.  Somehow I was not surprised when I found out I'll be charged at least $15 for an "early disconnect", even though I've been a customer for over 4 years.  They've been "renewing" my contract without my noticing.

Anyone else have similar experience? or even better -- anyone found a way around it?
TIA.

You can file a complaint with Office of Consumer Protection, but frankly, $15 (am I reading that correctly) is small change. I'd pay it AND file a complaint.
