Fees

Considering Direct TV Streaming service.

Is there a Broadcast fee and Regional Sports fee like Comcast?

Currently these are about $45 in my area + boxes + modem

Getting a little ridiculous!

DirecTV Stream has no fees or contracts. As log as you get the Choice package and above you receive locals and regional sports for your area.

DirecTV Via Internet (Satellite without the dish) has fees and contracts.

The 2 services are not related but share the same app. Content is based on your subscription.

I contacted directv about the streaming service and was told I could not receive the service without keeping the box that I have and pay the $23 monthly rental fee.

Are you already subscribed to DirecTV Via Internet? Then yes you have a contract.

No - I’m still deciding what to do.

Several neighbors purchased the box with a voice remote to avoid the monthly fee.  I think they paid $50 via eBay.

no issues so far and they say their picture quality is better than cable.

I have had a gemini for WAY longer than 24 months and when I asked if I could own my equipment if I went with the streaming service? I was told no on several request. If I went streaming without their equipment I would be unable to record or have  a list to keep recordings. I have been with Directv 29 years, they started in 1994 and I started as a customer in 1995. If you can tell me who I  need to talk to with Directv to  get the directv app on my roku stick without paying for equipment, I would appreciate it.

I asked that and was told that since I am a sat. customer I would have to receive the stream through the box. The only thing I could think of was to quit Directv for a couple of months and then buy the streaming service as a new customer.

What programming would I receive with directv streaming? I mean, about how many current directv sat channels would be available on the streaming?
