I need to learn spanish!

[Techfizzle]

how come for a lousy $30 i only get 50 channels
but if i get the cheapest spanish package, i get 110 extra english channels, and the xm channels for 39.99 a month
what gives?
why doesnt directv have a english package between $29.99 and $52.99 a month?

Does that package have the english channels you want - if so, go ahead & switch to it!
You DON'T have to actually watch those spanish channels, you know - actually, many dealers push this package the same way for english-only subs. You DON'T even need to actually be able to get those channels (your dish does NOT need to get 119), but they're still there anyway.

i did, not too shabby, directv really needs to organize what channels you get for the money or have a feature where u can add one or two channels from a bigger package to your account. they might loose to dish

they might loose to dish

Have you seen DISH's latest sub LOSSES & DirecTV's GAINS lately; I don't think D* needs to worry much...

Who actually needs to learn spanish to watch TV? Have you seen the women on some of those channels?

 

[FrankoQ]

Just watch the women. No need to understand what they're saying.

it kind of makes me mad that the 40.99 package doesnt come with comedy central.
the 30.99 a month basico package comes with 50 channels of xm and it is only $2 more the family? what is directv's problem?
