Love Direct TV, I have the 2nd highest package you can get, forgot the name but it just under ultimate package(maybe premier)..They have a rep who calls me a lot and offers me differnet deal for so many months, right now its the ultimate package which includes Sprout which my kids love, you just have remember to cancel after 3 months so you are not fully charged for this free package offer they give you....When you call, its fast, you are not on hold forever, they do a good job of answering the phones and moving along quickly, so these free offers are really good as long as you mark the last possible day on your calendar when to call and cancel so you are not charged for these freebies....
.I have basic DVR not Genie and two total receivers...I pay $105 a month in year 2 of contract, first year bill was around $70 a month...May try to see if I can get some discounts once my 2nd year of contract ends this month.....Also like how they have extra channels for big golf and tennis tournaments as well....
Will add the sports package if Western is playing on any regional Sport Channels, so I guess my bill will eventually go up to $130 or more after my 2 year contract runs out this week....
Had to Cut Sunday Ticket this season after 2 years, but hopefully can pick it up at some point..If you like the NFL it was a must have..
If you are big into fantasy football, Direct TV has a fantasy football show that will run during the live NFL games on Sundays 1 to 8, so that is a cool added feature..
In my experience, Direct TV was way better than cable in so many ways......Now though I may have to see if I can get some discounts or something because with 2 small kids in daycare, $130 a month is pretty expensive for TV....Or say I am going to cancel and see what they can do..
It does go out if it storms, but if its just heavy rain you are good to go usually....Has not been too many times where its been bad or out for a while...hell my cable before was out longer than I have had Direct TV out the last 2 years...
