I have subscribed to DirecTV for about 5 years now and have always had the total choice package - 150 channels. I never use them and have tried to call and get a lower package but the only lower one didn't have ESPN or Cartoon Network. I was not willing to give on those. My kids and DH watch them a lot.
I read somewhere there was a new unadvertised package called the select package with 72 channels. I called and they had it! It is 39.99 a month. I had a list of must have channels that I asked her about
Disney
Nick
Cartoon Network
ESPN
and they were all on the list (east and west coast feeds )
They don't have Noggin or Boomerang or Sprout. A few years ago this would have bothered me but my youngest is 6 so we don't watch them as much as we used to!
I get a discount through my phone company and then I called once and they gave me a one year $10 monthly customer retention discount - I didn't lose either of those!!
Hopefully someone else can use this to save money!!
Of course - they don't have Disney XD - which I don't care about but wouldn't you know that was the channel my 6 yo was watching when they made the switch. He's never talking to me again and is going to be mad at me forever....
