Well DIRECTV has the Family package and it’s a very skinny bundle with local channels as well as a couple regular pay channels. It’s a good match for someone who isn’t too much for cable and wants a skinny bundle of channels. You can call DIRECTV at +1 (800) 531-5000 for more information on the Family Package and how you can switch. Going to the website will not allow you to switch to it since it’s technically a DISCONTINUED package that only existing customers with that package already from the beginning can continue to enjoy.
DirecTV does not have "low income cable". This is because pay TV is luxury entertainment, not a necessity for life. Plus they are TV by satellite, so any programs out there for cable wouldn't apply to them.
If you are a new customer, then you go onto the website and compare the intro specials. Remember that is a discounted price for the first year, so read the fine print an order confirmation.
However if you are an existing customer, there are packages not listed with the intro specials. From lowest to highest in terms of cost: Family, Select, Entertainment, Choice, Xtra (or Preferred Xtra for those who watch little to no sports, if still available), Ultimate, Premier.
Shame on Directv! Low income people that live in apartments that restrict there people to no antennas or satellite dishes only have few options for basic local channels and none free to very low income persons! TV is sometimes their only entertainment and news?! Shame!
Your apartment cannot legally restrict you from putting up an outdoor antenna or satellite dish as long as it is under your control on a balcony, patio, etc.
Also known as FCC Order 98-273 or the FCC Satellite Rule, this law states that landlords cannot ban satellite dishes from a rental property.
DirecTV is a business, not a charity. As mentioned 2 years ago, and stands true today, pay TV is ENTERTAINMENT. It is not obligated to be provided for you.
You call shame on DirecTV because they don't give you a handout? Get your priorities straight as one would think you have bigger concerns then watching your next show.
Apartments cannot restrict you from having satellite per Federal regulations OTARD. But even if yours was doing so as you imply and not allowing you the option of DirecTV in the first place, then again no shame on DirecTV as that would be fault of those who run your apartment.
