Family is the lowest package. If you have a place under your exclusive control to place the dish then there shouldn't be a problem unless there is a Line of Sight problem otherwise you need the home's permission to install a dish.

Since the Family package is not part of intro offers, then should take advantage of Select package thru the 12 month discount and then if needed lower to the Family package.

DirecTV is a good service, but is not geared towards those on a more limited budget.

Select package for 1 TV after intro discount would be $62.99, Advance Receiver Service $15, Primary TV Fee $7 = $84.99, or $85 if Select All Included which combines all those costs into one item for simplicity. Before tax of course.

This is simply an estimate based on current pricing, but networks charge TV providers more each year resulting in an adjustment of base costs. Based on the last few times, the annual price adjustment has been up to $10 max (depending on what you have).

Need to check with the nursing home on their regulations on satellite install. So I would discuss with them, and perhaps any residents you may know, on what they use for their TV options if the nursing home doesn't include it themselves.
