As the title suggests im looking to help my grandmother save some money on her cable payments. She only watches a handful of old movies through cable as well as some news outlets. Currently she has the CHOICE (all included) package which consists of:

CHOICE (all included): $169.00

MGM+: $7.99

Starz, Paramount+ with SHO, Cinemax and Sports Pack: $36.97

Movies Extra Pack + Peacock Premium: $9.99

TV Access Fee: $7.00

Regional Sports Fee: $23.99

Amount due: $254.94

She mainly goes to netflix and tiktok for other entertainment and switches between all three pretty consistently. Point being is there is no way she needs all of these channels when shes only watching cable a third of the time. Is there any packages or deals that I can "downgrade" to to help lighten the burden. Even having to stack packages to mimic the current stack of channels is okay anything helps.

I was talking to customer service about what was available for free from DirecTV.

I was told that I had a Sunday ticket for free.

How do I log in to Sunday ticket to check it out, if it is free?

They rolled it out with great fanfare recently. Anyone else feel that there bill keeps going up and you keep getting less?

I signed up for directv and they gave me 4 months free spotify. Whenever I try to use it, it would give error "Sorry, you are not eligible for that plan. Here are some other ways to get Premium." I never had spotify or spotify premium before

I mean this is absolutely ridiculous. It’s preseason but I’m assuming regular season will be the same thing. I’ve had NBA LP with DIRECTV a handful of years ago and pretty much could watch almost every game outside of my local sports broadcasts. I’m in California and couldn’t watch the OKC game last night, I can’t watch the Celtics game today. What the heck is up with that?

If this is the norm looks like I’m going to cancel today.

Hi - I'm frustrated with my current cable provider, and I'm looking into DirecTV.

Can you please share what your experience has been like since becoming a DirecTV customer and address my concerns noted below?

My biggest concerns are:

1) Reception: How often do you lose reception due to weather or other instances? How long does it last? How does it get resolved? What type of weather (rain, snow, etc.) seems to be the biggest issue? Do you have the option to stream when the dish goes out?

2) Customer service: What has been your experience when dealing with customer service? Is it a hassle to get a new promo/discount when your previous one expires, and do the rates increase dramatically after the first year or two?

Thanks in advance.

DIRECTV is the latest streaming pay television service to unlock a custom multiview feature, joining other sports-inclusive apps like Fubo and YouTube TV in doing so.

On Tuesday, DIRECTV said streamers who watch live channel via its Gemini box and on Roku can now select up to four live channels to watch from a single screen. Support for other platforms like Apple TV, Android TV (Google TV), LG, Samsung, Amazon Fire TV and Vizio will come in the near future.

The feature allows customers to create two-, three- or four-channel viewing arrangements using eligible sports networks, rather than relying exclusively on the predetermined channel combinations already offered through DIRECTV’s Multiview service.

So, I've had the same Directv account 30+ years.

I can't remember exactly, but I think I signed up for Paramount+ directly thru their website, mainly for UFC content. The annual plan is less than $12/month.

Another thread here on Reddit was talking about having it for free on Directv, so I looked. Sure enough, I have it for free bundled with Showtime for free until November 3rd, then it's $13.99/mo.

I use a smart TV in the bedroom and have been accessing Paramount+ thru the tv. I use a non-smart projector in the living room and have been accessing Paramount+ by connecting to my laptop.

How do I access paramount+ thru my Directv DVR?

Is content access the same as thru the Paramount+ app?

We all know that everyone shares account for other services. Everyone is all complaining about price, a lot of people here like the satellite service. I wish DTV creates a family or buddy plan. This way our TV service can be at two different location. You can split the bill with your friend or family and this will pretty much cut your bill in half and everyone is happy.

Do you guys ever think this will happen?

I had a Disney+ and Hulu and ESPN+ subscription. I just subscribed to DirecTV and have ESPN unlimited with it. So do I cancel my current Disney+ bundle and then resubscribe with just Disney+ and Hulu?

Yes, it has been a little rainy here, but not so bad that we should be losing the signal from our sat dish. But it seems like occasionally lately, whenever I switch the channel, it will tell me it is moving me to streaming via internet. Or, I'll be watching a show, and a message pops up with something like "recording not available while streaming" ... when I am on a dish account, and I'm not even trying to record. Are they forcing everyone into streaming now?

And before anyone asks why I don't just move to streaming, it is because we travel in our RV and have a sat dish on that as well. Streaming in most campgrounds is not an option, and some campgrounds will threaten to kick you out if you use their wifi to stream ... so we keep our dish.

I will be moving soon and cannot have a satellite dish in my new place. I’ve had DTV satellite service for about 12 years. I have a lot of stuff on my DVR and love the space of this DVR.

I’ve noticed whenever there’s no connection to the dish, or if the service is down due to an outage it’s always mentioned (and true) that you can watch your DVR programs. So my question is this:

I move from house A to house B and take my STBs with me before turning them in. Can I watch the DVR by hooking it up to an HDMI port even though I technically don’t have service nor a dish, provided I didn’t cancel my account yet? My plan would be to watch all of my DVR stuff then turn in the STBs.

TIA!

Any chance that the remaining SD satellite channels (C-SPAN networks, Cozi, CNN Int’l, etc.) will upgrade to HD soon, as they are on the app?

Thanks.

I had something odd happen with no explanation recently. For a while I got Paramount+ without ads, included with my normal package. Then all of a sudden, my Paramount subscription is gone, but now I have HBO Max free with ads in its place. I didn't have any warning that my Paramount+ would expire. Why did this happen? I was enjoying the free UFC events and the newer Star Trek series

Get error message either using the app or on my laptop.

I'm getting the free HBO/Max app with ads from DirecTV. I know it will take a while, but what will likely happen when Paramount mergers it into one app? Will it most likely go away?
