Do you get the NFL and MLB packages?

I presently pay $152 per month up north to get what I want.

What is your monthly cost? Please PM if you don't want to state the cost on this forum.

Thanks in advance.
Hi 2BNTV, I don't mind stating the cost. I do not have MLB yet, as they usually offer a special later in the season. As for the NFL, my son gets that, so I will split it with him and swap receivers. I believe I have the choice ultra package with Directv, and I have HD, the sports package, HBO and Showtime, 2 HD DVR's, and 1 HD receiver, and SWIM (record in one room and watch in all rooms). That is about $123 including taxes and with all applicable discounts. I pay about $50 a month for Comcast internet, and Ooma is either $3.47 or 9.95 a month, depending on what package you want. I did just order the Ooma Premier, and I got it for $4.17 a month the 1st year, and it has a wealth of cool features. My triple play package with Comcast was $134 with one HD box and no boxes in 2 bedrooms, for the first 6 months, and I'm not sure what it was going up to, but IMO, Directv programing and picture quality was better than cable. Also, I did not have any issues with Comcast customer service, but did have to go through 3 boxes in 11 months before I switched over.
