Locals & HD Package ONLY?

[molder101]

I was just curious if anyone knows if you can purchase ONLY local stations and the HD Package?

If not, I guess they require you have one of the $40/mth packages first.

I just watch HD stuff and not much of that either so it is pointless for me to spend $50-$60/mth on tv.

However if the above was available for $20 or so per month that would be of interest to me.

Thanks,
Mike

D* do have smaller packages that cost around $20, however, they do not advertise it because its not that profitable. You have to really convince the reps that you want their service but you dont however want all those extra channels. They should be able to provide a package you want!

What's the lowest price out there for a Directv HD system?

It looks like the going rate is $320 after taxes/shipping?

Anywhere that does better than that, offers mail-in-rebates etc?

I am a first time subscriber.

thanks,
