Need help calculating what Direct will cost per month...

[iahawks550]

Maybe I'm too stupid to actually follow their website, but I can never actually get a total monthly cost anywhere.

Basically, I want

the 185 channels (with added sports pack) with DVR service. Ideally, I would like a second DVR receiver.

It looks to me like $59.99/ month for basic programming
$12.month for sportspack

I've had Dish for 10+ years, so here's a couple questions for those with Direct can answer.....

1. If you have more than one receiver, is there a per month fee for each additional?

2. If you have more than one DVR, is there a per month fee for each additional DVR service?


Thanks for the help.

There is a $4.99 fee for each additional receiver. The DVR fee of 5.99 covers all dvr's in your household.

Another question.

They have the Everything pack for $99.99/month

Do they have an everythng pack with HD?

You mean Premiere... :) And the HD Access is always $9.99 extra, even with that package.

No you have to pay the $9.99 HD fee and you now have to pay the $5.99 DVR fee. It was included in the premier package until about 2 weeks ago. For new customer's of the premier packagenow you have to pay the DVR fee.

Of course, there is the rumor of the new package that might be coming next month. It has its own thread, if you are interested.

So, am I correct that the monthly cost would be $99.99 + $9.99 (HD)+ $5.00 (DVR) + $5.00 (for any additional receiver) ?

or $120.00/month

A few weeks ago a package was on DIRECTV website but you could not click on it and it was not suppose to be there. A few weeks before that someone posted a thread with the rumor of the package. It was removed from DIRECTV's website as soon as they knew it was showing on there and as of right now all it is a rumor.

I think he meant a link to the thread.
