The DIRECTV Premier package is the all-inclusive TV option for the subscriber that wants or needs it all. With over 265 channels of programming, the DIRECTV Premier package offers you all kinds of choice, whether it be sports, movies, drama, or commercial free music for your listening pleasure.
So what exactly does DIRECTV give you with the Premier package? Well, as we have already mentioned, everything is here, but let’s get a little more specific.
You may never go to a movie theater again, as there is a wide selection of premium move channels included in the Premier package. All in all, there are 30 premium movie channels. These would include 7 channels of HBO, 12 channels of Starz, 3 channels of Cinemax, and to round things out 9 Showtime movie channels.
Sports fans will also find anything and everything in this package. In addition to the standards such as ESPN and ESPNEWS, there are 35 additional sports networks included. Included are 3 Comcast regional networks, more than a dozen Fox Sports Net channels, and the YES channel, home of the New York Yankees. The DIRECTV Sports pack is normally an additional $12, but it is included in the Premier package.
Local channels are here also in almost all parts of the country. ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox are the standards, while the CW and PBS stations are available in some areas.
Plenty of audio programming is also accessible in the Premier package as well. XM is the provider, with up to 73 different stations available.
HD programming is about the only thing not available in this package. In order to receive HD channels, there is an addition $9.99 per month HD access fee.
So what will all of this cost? Actually less than you think. The normal price for the DIRECTV Premier package is $104.99 per month, and for new customers there are always promotions available. Once a year, DIRECTV offers the best satellite TV promotion in conjunction with the NFL Sunday Ticket.
This year’s promotion offers new customers the Premier package free for four months when they pay for the NFL Sunday Ticket at the price of $74.99 for four months. In addition, DIRECTV is also offering a free HD DVR receiver upgrade, a $199 value. The current promotion runs through October 31st, but the NFL season starts in early September, so it makes sense to get on board now in order to see all of the games.

This package rocks and it almost has everything which is necessary to spend a cool life. Thanks for the information, I shall be subscribing it very soon.
I got this package as a new customer with the Sunday Ticket deal that is going on right now. All I can say is this puts DISH Network to shame. They have everything in this deal, and i mean everything. No having to worry if Charlie is having some sort of dispute with this network or that network, Directv takes care of their customers as far as the premier package goes.
I got the DirectTV premier package last fall with the sunday ticket promo. They give you the package free when you pay the $300 or so it costs for sunday ticket. you can downgrade to Choice or Choice xtra when the NFL season ends if you want to save some money.
In our case, we just kept the package. There are so many movie channels here, we just cancelled Netflix and use our DVR to record what we want. The whole thing including HD is around $125 per month, but overall that is actually a pretty good deal when you dont mess with renting movies anymore.
Damn what a package! It is amazing for such an low price, need to get it right now!
Direct TV will be offering a free preview on the Premier package in June. The dates will be June 18-21, 2009 all DIRECTV customers will have access to more than 265 channels including all of the Premium movie channels like HBO, Cinemax and Showtime.
