DIRECTV vs. Netflix

As you look at your DIRECTV bill and you see the amount you want to scream. Yes there is a grace period when you have Showtime and HBO and a lower price but that ended last month and no one told you to unsubscribe to the added channels that you found less entertaining than the non pay channels. Now you have a bill that has gone up twenty five dollars or so with nothing to show except a few movies that you have seen and recorded.

DIRECTV is fairly inexpensive in the beginning but after a certain grace period the savings all come to an abrupt halt.

DIRECTV COSTS

150+ channels is $29.99 a month without any of the amenities

210+ channels is $34.99 a month without any of the amenities

225+ channels is $39.99 a month without any of the amenities

285+ channels is $85.99 a month without any of the amenities

Each of these will increase $29.00 a month after a year into your contract and after the second year they will increase $14.00 more dollars. All of these prices are with no high definition or recording apparatus.

For the Netflix side of things it is much simpler $8.99 for one check out movie at a time and unlimited instant viewing of their library. If you want to ad $2.00 you can get high definition movies. Netflix also has no contracts that people have to sign. for more movies to check out at a time you will have to pay more.
