DIRECTV CHOICE Package

When it's time to get DIRECTV, folks often get more channels than they really need. Fact is, unless you have a household divided on tastes, you'll probably find DIRECTV CHOICE already includes most of your favorite programming. And at $74 .99 /mo (with HD fees included), it's both feature-packed AND very affordably priced. Even better, DIRECTV lets you down (or up)grade at any time without a service fee - as a result, a lot of new subscribers like to give this value-rich package a try first, then switch it up as needed.

The Choice lineup features a fun and time-tested combo of general-interest programming. For starters, there's a ton of family/educational channels, including A&E, Lifetime, GAC Family, The Weather Channel, etc. Sports-wise, it's the first plan with coverage from the MLB/NFL Network, NBA TV, Golf Channel, college networks and the ESPN suite (4 channels). When it comes to picture quality, all HD sports channels are broadcast in crystal-clear 1080p (with a growing number in 4K). Overall, Choice is a great intro package at an even better price.

PERFECT FOR: folks looking to manage their TV budget but not compromise on channel options (especially compared to cable).

Choice: via Internet or Satellite

The Choice plan, as with all the DIRECTV packages, now lets you choose between getting it "via internet" or "via satellite". Via the internet lets you bypass having to install a dish at your home. The downside is you'll miss out on some channels, have less 4K options and won't be able to use the Genie DVR (only the Gemini DVR applies). Both cost the same and come with a 2-year price guarantee.
