Direct TV Package

I'm unhappy with my package, I chose choice package & have alot of stations but nothing really good on. I like maybe like 8 or 9 stations I really watch but pay a very high price for nothing. Is there a way I can get the lowest price package & just add a few stations I really like?

No. If channels you want aren’t in a package, the only way to add them is to switch to a package that has them. You can not add individual channels to a package except for premium channels.

The content providers package their channels to all TV providers so all DTV can do is pick the package they believe fits their customers best.  DTV has no control over what the channels send them.

That is how Pay TV works, DirecTV (not Direct TV) or otherwise. Channels are packaged, not available individually (al-a-carte).

Best you can do is choose the lowest package that includes the channels you want. You can review the channel list before changing to the package or even starting service to make sure if it will work for you.
