DIRECTV via Internet: Prices, Packages and How to Sign Up

DIRECTV via Internet has distinct plan offerings tailored to fit the varying needs of potential subscribers.

DIRECTV via Internet has a wide range of channels, from locals to popular cable networks and much more.

When trying to figure out the right fit for a TV service, customers have more choices than ever nowadays. It can be hard to know if it’s the exact right moment to cut the cord, and households that don’t want to go with a package of only subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) services like Netflix have a lot of options to consider.

DIRECTV via Internet is an excellent way to get top-of-the-line cable channels delivered to your home, without the need for a professional satellite installation. It carries high-demand cable networks like ESPN, TNT, CNN, and many more, as well as local channels, where available!

How Much Are DIRECTV Via Internet Packages?

Each DIRECTV via Internet package comes with its own distinct price and channel offerings.

There are four distinct packages available from DIRECTV via Internet, starting with the ENTERTAINMENT package. This option costs $70 per month before taxes and fees ($85 monthly with required Advanced Receiver Services (ARS) $15 per month fee) and requires a 24-month agreement. This is a fantastic starting point for customers who love the most popular cable channels, as it includes 34 of The Streamable’s top 35 networks. It offers ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC, and The CW in the vast majority of markets around the United States, along with MSNBC, Fox News, and CNN for election coverage, ESPN for sports, and much more.

The CHOICE package is up next, and it’s a beloved option among current DIRECTV subscribers. This option is $85 per month plus taxes and fees with a 24-month agreement ($106 per month with the required $15 monthly ARS and regional sports fees of up to $16 per month). This package allows viewers to watch their local RSN and stream NBA, NHL, and MLB games, where available (varies by Zip code/pkg). DIRECTV is one of the few providers that offers Bally Sports RSNs, as well as those from Spectrum Sports. This package also offers ACC Network, ESPNU, and Big Ten Network, the perfect additions as college football season rolls onward.

The ULTIMATE package is up next, and as the name suggests, it’s a great option for audiences who would describe themselves as the “ultimate” TV watcher. This package costs $115 plus taxes and fees per month with a 24-month agreement ($136 monthly with the required $15 monthly ARS and regional sports fees of up to $16 per month). For that price, you’ll get 160+ channels, including selections like FS2, Golf Channel, and NHL Network. And of course, the channels in the ENTERTAINMENT and CHOICE packages are included in the ULTIMATE package as well!

Finally, DIRECTV via Internet offers the PREMIER package, which lifts its channel count to 185+. This package is $160, not including taxes and fees, per month ($181 monthly with the required $15 monthly ARS and regional sports fees of up to $16 per month) and requires a 24-month agreement. All of the channels described as being available in previous packages are included with PREMIER, and viewers will also be able to enjoy premium cable channels like Max, Paramount+ with SHOWTIME, Cinemax, and others as part of their subscription, granting access to thousands of high-quality shows and movies.

All prices are for new, approved residential customers and are subject to change. Prices include the TV package and equipment fees for the first TV. Additional fees may apply to non-qualified customers. An equipment lease is required and an early termination fee of $20 per month applies, along with additional fees if equipment is not returned.
