DIRECTV Makes it Harder to Find Its Cheaper TV Package As It Pushes More Expensive TV Packages

In a subtle but significant shift in its marketing strategy, DIRECTV appears to be guiding customers towards its more comprehensive and expensive television packages, with its entry-level “Entertainment” tier now less visible on its primary online sales platforms. While the cheaper package, offering over 90 channels, remains available, consumers may need to actively seek it out rather than encountering it as a prominently featured option.
Visitors to DIRECTV’s main website and package selection pages are now greeted with strong promotions for the “Choice” package, which boasts over 125 channels. Special offers, such as significant first-month discounts and two-year savings guarantees, are frequently tied to the “Choice” package or higher tiers. The “Choice,” “Ultimate” (160+ channels), and “Premier” (185+ channels) packages are typically detailed first, often with eye-catching promotional pricing. In contrast, the “Entertainment” package is now hidden on its home page leaving you to hunt for it if you wanted to sign up for the cheaper packages.
