How much will DIRECTV® service cost me each month? It's more affordable than you might think. Our basic TOTAL CHOICE® with Local Channels programming package, which includes over 125 channels, is just $39.99 per month. The cost to "mirror" that service to additional receivers in your home is $4.99/mo. per receiver (as long as you keep all your receivers continuously connected to at the same land-based phone line). If your state charges a sales tax, we'll add that to your bill. That's it. But of course, you can select from many other packages as well.
How does DIRECTV® service compare with cable? DIRECTV has created a programming service specifically driven to offer customers more choice and value for their entertainment dollar. The service combines America's favorite network channels, other popular networks not available from many DIRECT TV cable services, a pay per view service with up to 55 choices of movies and special events a day, local channels in many markets, and an unprecedented sports subscription lineup. No other system offers as many quality program options.

Is DIRECTV service available in Canada or Mexico? We are legally prohibited from transmitting our signal outside the United States.
Is DIRECTV service available in Alaska? DIRECTV does offer programming in Alaska. However, because of Alaska's location in relation to our satellites, you may need a larger satellite dish. For example, viewers in Anchorage or Fairbanks may need an eight-foot dish to get good reception. In the Juneau area, a four-foot dish may do the trick. Areas north and west of these locations will experience an even greater reduction in signal acuity. Residents of Alaska should check with their local DIRECTV retailer for more information and programming availability.
Is DIRECTV service available in Hawaii? Yes! Hawaii residents can enjoy select DIRECT TV programming. Learn more. I have another satellite service. How do I convert to the DIRECTV® service? with Satellite TV we advise new customers to use DIRECTV equipment only. DIRECTV hardware has been designed to meet our service quality standards.
