But those small increases on the margins weren't enough to offset deeper cuts at conventional cable and satellite television companies. The average TV subscriber's monthly bill ticked up from $65.25 in 2014 to $66.08 in 2015. The broadcast regulator says the overall number of TV subscribers dipped from 11.4 million in 2014 to 11.2 million in 2015.
