These are the most popular packages for each Satellite TV service. So, when you see the fancy promotions and the prices, you now know how much they REALLY cost. Hope this helps. We've all been burned by the cable company before when we THOUGHT that our cable would cost "x", and then the "promo" ran out, and then it seems to double. Remember this, since both DISH Network and DirecTv require a 24 month commitment, if you see an advertised price for a certain amount of time, just remember you're locked in when those prices go "regular". At least with cable, when the rates skyrocket, you can jump to satellite. Just ask, ask, ask, what the regular prices are. But, now that you've read this article, you now know.
