Cost Clarification Question

[Barcthespark]

I currently subscribe to the Premier package, but I'm thinking about changing to the Plus HD DVR package. I've searched the D* website and found it is pretty much impossible to get the total cost of the packages plus hardware. I would greatly appreciate any help you folks can give me.

My current charges are:
$99.99 Premier
$ 5.99 DIRECTV DVR Service Monthly
$ 4.99 Additional Receiver
$ 4.99 Additional Receiver
$ 9.99 HD Access Monthly
$ 4.99 HD Extra Pack

Here is what I THINK I'll pay with the Plus HD DVR package:
$72.99 Plus HD DVR
$ 4.99 HD Extra Pack
$ 4.99 Additional Receiver
$ 4.99 Additional Receiver

Can anyone tell me if this is correct or if I am missing any charges? Thanks.

Eveyrthing looks good to me and I am thinking about making the same switch you are.

I also think the monthly cost of premiere with hd dvr needs to be re-examined.

By switching all I'll lose is the Movie channels and the RSNs?

Yes you will but do you truely need all those channels? I know I couldnt tell you the last time I watched something on an RSN not in my area, same with the movie channels. We watch mainly the Starz offerings so we are thinking about just adding those back to the HDDVR pack which would add ~$12 more on top.

During college basketball season, I get the sports pack for ESPN-U and CSTV. I also get all the out-of-area RSNs. But it seems whenever I try to watch a game on an out-of-area RSN, it is blacked out. I'm not sure what's the point of the OOA RSNs.

I subbed to the Sports Pack back many years ago when ECW Wrestling was only being broadcast on the RSN(s) in the New York area (or the surrounding area). That was the only way I could watch. It was a niche program in a limited area. Sports Pack didn't do a thing for me in terms of blackouts, etc. and I cancelled once ECW became more widely available.
