FAQ's on Direct TV Packages

So you have just moved into your first home after apartment living for several years. A whole new world has opened up to you as far as your entertainment choices. While in the past, you were stuck with the local cable TV company, now you can go with satellite TV, either Dish Network or Direct TV. So what can you expect if you decide to go with a new Direct TV package. Lets consider a few of the frequently asked questions when it comes to this subject.

Is it expensive to set up satellite service and get a Direct TV package?

Not at all. Standard installation is free, only if you have some special circumstances or labor intensive requirements at your home will any charges apply. Generally, an HD DVR is included as well as standard receivers. Only if you want additional DVR devices will you have to pay up front for service.

What can I expect as far as monthly charges?

Direct TV packages start as low as $30 per month, but that only provides a limited channel lineup. Bundles which include 150+ channels begin in the $40 a month area for the first year. After the promotional price period, these bundles run about $60 per month before taxes and fees.

How about the NFL Sunday Ticket package? Can I get a low price on that?

It depends on the time of year you call, and on what promotional offers are being offered. Generally, in the months right before the start of the NFL season there are great Direct TV deals offered in conjunction with the Sunday Ticket package. If you are considering satellite service, the best time to call for this kind of deal is in the months right around the start of football season.

Can I change packages once I have started service?

Yes. If you want to move into a new bundle, you can do so by simply calling Direct TV or by using their interactive website. Generally, the only requirement for new customers is that you maintain service for two years after your installation date.

With a Direct TV package, you will enjoy great programming at a competitive price when compared to cable television.
