I have the same package. Phone service with Internet will run about $75 per month.

Directv has a great package at about $49 per month. Customer service reps leave a lot to be desired but not as bad as Comcast. They are usually a storehouse of misinformation.
1. Installation is free only if you have the dish installed on your roof. If you want your dish installed away from your house, the vendor will charge you $82.00.
2. Ask what the rates will jump to, after a year, as they will never offer that info. Initial rates are low and jump dramatically, after the one year mark.
3. Make sure you cancel the 3 months free of movies, as you will see it on your bill in the fourth month.
4. Make sure you get the recording DVD free, when you first order or they will want to charge you $200 to upgrade after two weeks, if you change your mind.
5. I am still waiting for CenturyLink to combine my Directv bill with their bill and it's been a year and a half later.

I told a Directv supervisor they need to train their people better on their products as they promise you something, and never follow-up. It's sad to see that some people are just warming a chair. Just ensure you get what you expect and you will be fine.

Directv is a great product especially if one loves sports. As usual, you need to be your own advocate.
