DIRECTV Packages

Welcome. We are glad you've tuned in to check out DIRECTV programming. There is a lot of fun stuff to show and tell you about DIRECTV. In fact, there are over 225 available channels of great entertainment choices! So please, stay and browse a while.

DIRECTV service was designed for those of you who want to take control of your television viewing ... who have channel surfing-hungry thumbs ... who want more sports, movies, news and family programming than you are likely to get on cable or any other mini-dish service.

baseball.gif (13342 bytes) And speaking of the mini-dish, this one is only about 18 inches across. It is part of the DIRECTV® System along with a set-top receiver and remote control, all in place to deliver the DIRECTV digital signal. Together they allow DIRECTV to deliver digital-quality picture and sound to your television. Ever see a football game on digital TV? Hear music? Or watch cartoons? If not, digital-quality TV is a must-see. DIRECTV introduced it to consumers in 1994, and it is awesome.

Ever wonder why DIRECTV is the leader in digital satellite home entertainment? Here's where you'll find the answer. Don’t let those other satellite services fool you into thinking DIRECTV is the same as they are — they are not. To find out the details about what makes DIRECTV different, just click on the navigation list on the left side of each page.

And if you are in a rush, you must at least check out these highlights:

The DIRECTV TOTAL CHOICE® PREMIER package — The ultimate DIRECTV programming package with over 185 channels of top-quality entertainment.

NFL SUNDAY TICKETTM — You will not find this subscription, or this many regular-season Sunday NFL games, on any other mini-dish service — no matter what the competition says.

There is a lot more that DIRECTV offers ... A la carte adult programming like PLAYBOY TV and SPICE PLATINUM (remember, Mom and Dad, DIRECTV® Receivers have a locks and limits feature that every pre-teen loves to hate)... NBA, NHL, MLB, MLS, and ESPN college football and basketball subscriptions...and Live Events on DIRECT TICKET® Pay Per View, where the price of one ticket seats all...so check it all out. Moreover, if you want to enjoy premium services like HBO®, STARZ Super Pak®, SHOWTIME UNLIMITED®, Cinemax® and SPORTS Pack with your DIRECTV programming, take a look at their PREMIUM PACKAGES.

Access to Local Channels
Rooftop or set-top antenna: Most customers prefer to use an antenna to receive their local channels. (Reception may vary based on geographic location.) Or you may subscribe to a “lifeline” cable package (which may be available in your area) to get local channels. Your DIRECTV System remote lets you switch back and forth easily from your local channels to your DIRECTV channels.


Broadcast Networks

You may be able to subscribe to some East and West coast feeds of network affiliates.

The Broadcast Networks are available only to subscribers who A) cannot receive, though the use of a conventional outdoor rooftop antenna, an over-the-air signal of grade B intensity (as defined by the Federal Communications Commission) of a local station affiliated with the requested network, and B) have not subscribed to cable within the last 90 days.

 

PROGRAMMING PACKAGES
Here's your chance to compare basic DIRECTV® programming pricing to what you or your friends pay cable companies for a similar channel lineup. And definitely take a look at the DIRECTV
Pay Per View movies and event selections and prices.

You will not find some of the DIRECTV professional and collegiate sports subscriptions on cable, so there is no comparison there. And just consider that great stadium season tickets are not this affordable and the view from your chair is worth every cent!

DIRECTV PPVDIRECTV® Pay Per View Will Change the Way You Watch Movies and Special Events at Home.
Just imagine — no more late night trips to the video store (not to mention the irritating late-return fees). Pay Per View options from DIRECTV also include the hottest special events you will not find on a lot of cable or other mini-dish services. With up to 55 pay per view choices a day everyone will be happy!

With BLOCKBUSTER PAY PER VIEW MOVIES
TM, there's a movie starting as often as every 30 minutes.  

As you can see, you’ll hardly have time to get the popcorn out of the microwave before the credits start rolling! And most importantly, hit movies are only $3.99 each (or $4.99 each for high-definition movies) when you order with your remote control or online.1

DIRECT TICKET® Pay Per View also offers exciting special events including professional wrestling, championship boxing, concerts, and family entertainment.

You can order them with a click of the remote control or make your selections online, so there is no phone call necessary (of course, you’ll have to give up those long periods of waiting before getting the chance to speak with one of those extremely helpful and polite cable company operators).

DIRECTV Pay Per View. It's fast. It's easy.
