Does anyone have the family package with Directv?

UGH. I have spent a bit of time this am on the phone on hold with Directv. I wanted to ask these questions to the customer service rep, but her English was so bad that I couldn't understand her and kept having to ask her to repeat. I think she was also talking with the mic too close to her mouth and so the speach was quite garbled.

Ok, enough complaining....just a frustration of the morning.....

I currently have Total Choice Plus with 3 DVRs and HD. It is running around $90/month. We did get a small discount for 6 months and it will be around $74/mo. for now.

What would the Family Package Cost? Would it be all indivitual pricing?

$29/Family programming
$7 DVR service
$6 per receiver (18 total or does the $7 cover one of them?)
$10 HD

Total being $64 plus tax, making it NOT a bargain or large savings.

Am I figuring this correctly?

We are also considering cancelling when our contract is up and going to OTA only.

Thanks,

Dawn

I checked into the family package also. It is so sparse on the channels we like to watch. I does have Disney and Nick..It doesn't have TLC, or Animal planet, which is a deal breaker for us. I really wanted to switch to save $, but besides the kids channels its mostly religious channels. They do charge a monthly fee for EACH reciever you have.

Thanks. Yeah, it seems that at that point OTA would be our best bet.

Our current contract ends April 3.

We do have free HD for 12 months and $10 off for 6 months, so I can just keep calling and badgering for deals when those run out.

We are hoping to sell and move next summer and may just wait until we do that to make a final decision.
