I currently have Choice Ultimate at 70.99 and see Premier is 114.99, a difference of $54. I'd like to stick with Ultimate but get all the premium movie channels too. Can I get all premium channels for less than $54? Besides the sports channels is anything else offered in Premier I might want?

Basically, Premier includes all the premium channels at their multiple discount rate.

Edit: it would still be less if you just drop one. If you are looking to drop the Sports pack, it'll be around $45 for all the Premiums.

Here is a list of the current packages and what services they contain.

You can also buy any "Choice" package and add Premium movie channels to it. The more you add the less they are. But not sure if you add the 4 movies and not the Sports Package, if it is less.

It's actually only a $44 difference. If you want all of the premium channels, you'd be better off with Choice Xtra instead of Ultimate. Ultimate adds the Encore channels and The Movie Channels. If you add Starz and Showtime, you will get those channels anyway.

Oops! Sorry I typed 54 instead of 44. Thanks for the info about going to Xtra to save 5 bucks.

Premier includes Sports Pack as one of the five premiums. If you don't care about Sports Pack and just the four Premium movie channels, the cost is $45 for the four Premiums (HBO, Starz, Showtime, Cinemax).

Keep in mind Premier is $119.99 starting in February.
