Both have an expansive list of channels which allow digital quality viewing in your home, broadcasting a variety of shows in such categories as sports, movies, TV programs, etc. We are not going into what makes one better than the other, and in what aspects. Instead, let us just take a good look at what one of them offers subscribers.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>DirecTV Packages<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This satellite TV service offers six packages, each fitted to cater to a certain lifestyle and budget. At the base side, you have the SELECT\u2122 Package, which starts at $19.99\/month for a year, bringing upwards of 145 popular channels in your home. At the other end you have the PREMIER\u2122, packed with 315 channels and including more than 45 premium channels such as HBO\u00ae, SHOWTIME\u00ae, etc.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">All DirecTV packages come with the option to add select programming, including premium movie networks and sports packs like NFL SUNDAY TICKET. With the number of options they are giving out, it is almost impossible to go wrong.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Special Packages<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">One of the reasons why DirecTV is so big is the fact that they don\u2019t compromise on selection. While the competition tries to figure out a generic offering that everyone can like, DirecTV sticks to specialized services, which prioritize viewer experience. Here are some of the special TV packages for specific audiences.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong>DIRECTV Premium Packages<\/strong>: You can add to your base package benefits with a wide choice of premium movie networks. You have HBO\u00ae, ENCORE\u00ae, SHOWTIME\u00ae, Cinemax\u00ae and STARZ\u00ae to choose from, with several additional channels given over to particular themes, like ENCORE\u00ae Action and HBO\u00ae Family.<\/li>\n<li><strong>DIRECTV Sports Packages<\/strong>: Out-of-market NFL games in the comfort of your home. Local network affiliates won\u2019t have this on offer. Also available from DirecTV are packages covering baseball, basketball, hockey, golf, soccer and more.<\/li>\n<li><strong>DIRECTV International Packages<\/strong>: You have access to international channels with DirecTV, reducing the limitations of being physically away from your area of focus. Offered are four Spanish-language packages, or programming add-ons to your base package from Brazil, China, Russia, Vietnam, Korea, or Philippines.\n<p><div id=\"attachment_182\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/thetripleplay.net\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-182\" class=\"wp-image-182 size-medium\" title=\"DirecTV Service Packages\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.thetripleplay.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/DirecTV-Packages-e1454329824422-300x204.png\" alt=\"DirecTV Packages\" width=\"300\" height=\"204\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-182\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong><em>DirecTV Offerings<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/div><\/li>\n<li><strong>DIRECTV Business Packages<\/strong>: This is the perfect programming setup for any business environment.
