Packages for seniors with low income

Does Direct TV/ At&t offer packages for seniors with fixed incomes? My bill has gotten so high, it is more than 15% of my monthly check.  When the television is the ONLY entertainment you have it is so hard to get it cut off. But this is the problem I am facing. I am all ready down to $45.00 a month for groceries. The channels I do get there are so many reruns and then they move them from channel to channel. Then there are all day "The Simpsons". and Then all day "Harry Potter", marathons, "The Family Guy". and on and on. You charge so much and we get nothing in return.Please help us Seniors! We are at the end of our lives and should be given a little a perk at least in TV. I am a R.N. and have been disabled since 1991. thru NO fault of my own, so please, help us seniors. I DO love it when you offer the weekend movies of HBO, Cinemax, Starz. I am FOREVER grateful for those weekends! TY so much!

No, they do not offer discounted packages for Seniors.

DTV has no control over a channels programing.  There is a family package that is the lowest package DTV offers it is not on their website so you have to call/chat to get it. Thank HBO and the other premium channels as they are the ones that do the free previews not DTV.
