Scott, this basically looks like the package I already have - Total Choice Plus. I don't see much difference.
Just saw in another thread the channels not included in the family pack. They can keep it. I'll stick with what I already have.

Disney/Hearst and company are the ones pushing the yearly price hikes with both satellite and cable. They are the parent company of ESPN" the sports hogs", Disney channels; "kiddie movies", and LIfetime/Lifetime Movies/ Lifetime movies for Women; "The Battered B*tch channels ". Keep all of them out of the pack and look at the savings . Top 60 for 31.99 vs the family pack for $19.99 , a twenty dollar savings. You lose 20 channels but save 20.00 bucks. I imagine that if we could spin the Espn /Disney / lifetime channels off of all the programming packs we could all save $20.00 on our bills.
Disney isn't alone, they just got a jump on fees since they had the NFL on ESPN as leverage. That was probably the first channel that could demand carriage instead of beg for it, and there was no substitute available. It's been downhill ever since.
I'm still curious how Charlie was able to offer a Family Pack without ESPN or any Disney money without violating his contract. I hope his pro-a la carte stance before Congress wasn't the price he paid.

Hey anyone know when the Total Choice Family Pack will be available? The CSR's do not know what it is.
It is Mid-April. Anyone heard anything yet about the Total Choice Family Package? I looked on the web site and found only one reference to it in the cost calculator.

But nothing on the rest of the website.

LMAO, My wife and I call lifetime the "rape channel" because it seams ever show has a rape scene in it. For a network that is so
pro=woman" they seam to go out of their way to make women look week and feel thretened everywhere they go. We say shame on lifetime. They should make movies that cleibrate and uplift women, not the other way around.
Noggin is a bunch of kids' shows, but it becomes "The N" at night, and it's not for little kids. I once stumbled upon an episode of Degrassi involving a sex toy. Now, there's a series on about a teenage lesbian. D* and E* both have this channel in their Family Packs. I wonder how long it will be before someone complains to them about it.

Has anyone been able to verify if the Total Choice Family Package is available yet. I still do not see it on the website.
Directv mailed dealers a letter notifying them that the Family Pak is available as of 4/26/06. I got my letter on the 28th, they didn't bother with a fax so I guess they aren't too interested in selling it.Caeboy said:
