How many different packages does DIRECTV STREAM offer?
How many HD channels do I get with DIRECTV STREAM?
You will receive every channel offered by DIRECTV in every region where you currently have service. Do I need to have a certain number of programming channels to qualify for DIRECTV STREAM? No, it doesn't take a certain number of your favorite channels to qualify. What if I don't have a DVR? If you do not have a digital video recorder (DVR) then you will not have the option to record all of your programs. You will, however, be able to record up to 2 programs on the 3 DVRs that are included in your DIRECTV STREAM service. You will also have the option to have a monthly DVR rental, allowing you to record unlimited programs during your DVR rental period.
Why am I being charged for some packages when I didn't know I was signing up for them? This is just a way offering the opportunity for people to experience DIRECTV without having to make the initial commitment. These are temporary offers. If you want to continue receiving these services at the same price after the term has expired, then you cancel at any time.
Is this only for new customers? Yes, this offer is only available to new customers. What if I cancel?
Is there a channel guide on DIRECTV STREAM?
There used to be a channel guide on the main DTV STREAM page, where you could scroll and select channels.
The pages has been removed (from the front page as well). How can I get back the channel guide? or can someone provide me with a list of all channels in English with their available options for cable?

There used to be an on-screen channel guide, but it would only show up when TV programming was being watched. The Guide data will automatically be downloaded to your Roku, iPhone, iPad or other compatible smart TV, TV box or smart device, and is viewable any time it is updated, whether you are actively watching TV, recording a show or browsing your favorite channels. If your smart TV includes built-in DVR, the Guide data is automatically downloaded and is available on all screens that you record TV on, or from the Guide on TVs without the feature.
If your set-top box (Roku or TiVo) has a HDMI port, it also connects to any compatible TV via a video cable and delivers Guide data to the TV. It will receive it without connecting a TV or having your viewing screen active, so no one has to press OK when they first turn on their new TV.
The Apple TV and Fire TV are both devices that you can connect to your TV through a HDMI connection and enjoy TV Guide data from any networked source, including Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, Comcast On Demand, YouTube, WatchESPN or Vudu. You can also receive TV Guide data over Ethernet from either of these two platforms. The Guide is available through an app and/or using voice-based commands. Learn more about how to receive TV Guide data on these platforms.
If you connect your Apple TV or Fire TV to a TV and have it turned on, you can connect it via the HDMI cable, but it won't do anything on its own unless you use the app.
What is included in the DIRECTV Choice package?
The first three months of DIRECTV service is free.
After the first three months, you pay a recurring fee every month in addition to your current monthly service fees. You must pay the recurring fee in order to continue services.
The initial DIRECTV Choice price includes: Your equipment fee. Free installation. Three months of free calls to the number that you select during activation (this number can be found on your bill or on your remote control). How do I activate service? You must have a television and a DIRECTV modem in the house. The service provider will install your DIRECTV equipment, provide Internet access and connect you with services. Your DIRECTV service provider will then activate service by connecting your television to their fiber optic network. They will call you to complete the activation process within one business day. What if I move? Once you have moved into a new house, apartment or other residence, your DIRECTV service provider will need to update your records at each location where you reside. You may change the address listed on your bill at anytime during the next three months by calling Customer Care. Your DIRECTV Choice package can be cancelled during the three months by calling Customer Care.
I have changed my address. How do I activate service? Your service provider will need to update your records. To ensure that your DIRECTV services are available, you will need to provide proof of your new address at your service provider's request. Your service provider will make a copy of the necessary paperwork for the billing department to use for your account information.
Can I cancel my DIRECTV service and have my equipment returned? If you wish to cancel your DIRECTV service, you must be able to return your equipment. Please ask your service provider for instructions regarding returning your equipment. Your equipment may be subject to charges.
I want a new box or remote control. Can I bring my old one back to the service provider? Please be advised that there are some models that are not compatible with DIRECTV Choice.
What channels does DIRECTV STREAM not have?
I've been reading up on different channels and services that may be available to us in the new STREAM and that there are some missing, for instance, the CINEMA BEHIND THE LINES channel and even that has been discontinued and replaced by HUSTLER TV.
Even worse there is no DIRECTV service in my area and it appears to have been replaced by a satellite service (which we don't need). Has anyone else been looking at other channels available and what they look like? I'm assuming they look better than the standard fare? Or will it be like cable where the service and programming will never be worth the aggravation to keep with it? Maybe some of the big time channel packages will have a package for smaller cities that is comparable to the standard cable channels? Does someone from Canada or Mexico have any comment on this? Thanks.
DIRECTV does have all the main sports channels, and one local TV station. (not sure if the local channel can be turned on through Cablevision) . It also includes some more channels like ESPN2 and FSN West - the Sports. Network. They are not in HD or S. As long as you are only receiving 1 or 2
Channels - this is fine.99 a month upwards. As to whether this is worth the bother, it's your decision to make. Are you a sports fan or not? Do you have kids who might be interested in. Watching, or who should be able to watch some of these channels later on. If you like the way they turn out. There was a lot of stuff that I thought I might enjoy that had only made. It to that level once on cable.
