Directv.com then.

Upfront costs can be Free up to $298 for 2 rooms depending on your credit.
24 month commitment and $20 per month for unfulfilled commitment months left.

The Genie and 1 C31 will be $31 per month in total fees, that includes HD, DVR, MRV, and additional room fee.

All the monthly base package charges are all different, You have to see for yourself what promos you are signing up for to get the Pricing for the first 12 months.

Genie and 1 client for the 2 rooms would be $45/Month for the entertainment package................

$31/Month deal is for non dvr standard equip......

First step, decide which to go with, then sign up

 

[satinstallerguy]

I said FEES!

Yes I see that......... Advanced Receiver Fee and DVR service Fee add up.......

 

[damondlt]

Almost forgot there is a $1-3 RSN fee too if you subscribe to Choice package or Higher in most markets with multiple RSNs

 

[dpeters11]

HD, DVR and Whole home are all included in the $25 advanced receiver fee, which is per account. Each receiver or client has a $6 fee, it's credited back for the primary receiver.

My fees are $56.18 per month

• Advanced receiver fee, Genie HR34, HD ,DVR and MRV $25
• 3 additional receivers, HR24,HR23 H25 $18
• RSN fee $2

Last year my fees were only $46.63 :shrug:

And if you know someone with DirecTV, both of you get $10 off per month for 10 months. You just need their account number and I believe call a special number or go to a special ordering page.

Milpitas is near San Jose, CA.
No DVR. Just over-the-air HD channels. No preium channels.

What is the mininum package contract period? 2 years?
What is two set top box cost?
What is the installation and equipment cost? Who is the installation contractor in my local area?

For basic receiver, which model to get? Can I get my own receiver in Amazon?

You really should call them . There are lots of no contract options. There are even Leased equipment no contract options. But you are going to pay more then you would with a commitment.

 

[young707]

what is the basic minimum contact period length? 2 years? What is the cost in 2nd year?
Should I get set top box receiver in Amazon?
Who is the installation contractor in our local area?

Two years is typical. What you pay in the second year is based on the plan you subscribe too (which can be changed -- I think you have to keep a package of $29.99 per month)).
Why Amazon? You can call in and, if you quality, you can get the equipment free from DirecTV. If you 'buy' it from Amazon, it will not be yours; it will be leased.
Try Google to find your local installer, but why? They don't set up your install -- you do that with DirecTV.

So call. If you're having a problem with who ever answers the phone, politely tell them you have to go someplace and you'll call back at a later time.

I've found it really hard to navigate online to find the best new sign up options/offers. Any suggestions?
