Does DirecTV Offer an HD Only Package?

[Boondockbill]

I really don't watch the SD junk. Certain SD shows I'll get with my trusty CBand.

I rememeber I "could" get an HD package only over at E*. But how about DirecTV?

NO

You have to have an min of Total Choice Programming package, to get HD package

How about ExpressVU

After your one year obligation is completed you can subscribe to only the HD package and also be eligible for Pay-Per-View and any sports annual packages, like the NFL Season Ticket.

The lowest cost programming package for english programming is TOTAL CHOICE at $38.99/mo. The current programming promotion for new subscribers is pay for TOTAL CHOICE PLUS and get the largest package, TOTAL CHOICE PREMIER at no additional charge for 3 months.

Really? I did not know that. It's good to know although I probably won't drop the regular package...

Are you sure? I thought DirecTV just raised their programming rates starting March?

EDIT: I guess Robert meant without locals. However, when I went online to look at programming change screens, they no longer have "with locals" and "without locals". Just "TOTAL CHOICE", "TOTAL CHOICE PLUS", "TOTAL CHOICE PREMIER". Did they change this too?

No you can order TOTAL CHOICE w/o locals, $38.99/mo.

This, I think, validates the argument that Voom should have an HD only package. If someone is willing to take ONLY the HD from DirecTV, then I'm sure there is a much larger customer base for the HD offerings from Voom.
