My Direct bill is currently $72.28 per month. That is not a typo. Lol.

Includes free ST Max and all 4 premium movie channels for first 3 months. Even includes a special package of 5 channels that costs $5 per month because my wife just loves the Hallmark Mystery Movie channel. For those of us that are married, no explanation is necessary.

It's their "Choice" package for new customers.

I plan to drop the movie channels after the first 3 months because we really don't use them all that much, anyway. If HBO has finished Game of Thrones, that is (the wife again). Streaming newer movies is better, at least for us.

I expect to negotiate the free ST each year in the future as I have every year in the past.

I love DirectTV!

Some unsolicited free advice. Do NOT be tempted by Spectrum offers you may see on TV. As I was. You will not be happy with their hardware technology or overall user interface. Trust me on this one. I could list at least 15 very irritating Spectrum disadvantages vs Direct without breaking a sweat.
