DirecTV is offering the ultimate programming package.
Every channel, every PPV movie, every sporting event,every adult movie ... all for only $7,500/year.

I think I'll sell the house and sign up.

I guess now we know why Bill Gates is stepping down...

$625 / month... given the rate my cable bill has been going up, that's almost a tempting offer.

Over on one of the sat forums, they did the math and figured out that even with every channel, PPV and movie possible, you are only at about $6500 or so. Where does that other $1000 come in? Nobody knows. I guess after a year the price goes up to $10,000 too.

I saw one guy speculate that they did this so they could sue hackers for $7,500 for every year they could prove they were stealing programming.

Maybe to pay for the 10 HD DVRs?

And the 24/7 concierge service.

For that price the movies had better be in Feel-a-round(tm).

will they provide a service while im watching adult movies?

There was an article about this in the NY Post today - didn't say much but explained the benifits, cost, etc.

DirecTV's response to that recent ala carte talk, apparently.

wow... that is dumb... directv's hd should be called HD LITE

I'm surprised they didn't name it the das Monkey Package.

Very likely... That they need to set a base price so that when they seek damages, they can claim that it's what people are willing to pay, thus what it's worth.

You do all realize that that price is for 10 systems, right? So a calculation for every channel and every PPV etc. would be significantly higher.

I'd sure as hell pay $62.50/mth for everything including an HD PVR. Of course, there's a feasibility issue of splitting up a 10 piece package when, presumably, you still need a phone line connected for your PPV tracking.

whether there's 200 channels or 2000 ... there's still nothing good to watch on tv.

But my question do you get the service just by paying for it because it says only a select few get it?

Yep. They don't expect normal people to buy this service; they just had to put a price on it.

Once I get the money I will buy it.

As mentioned above, I'd bet that they are just setting a price for "everything" so that when they prove that somebody used a hacked card they can sue them for $7,500 per year for programming.
