Simple question. I currently have Top 250 for $69.99/month and I am thinking of adding some movie channels. If I switch to America's Everything Pak for $104.99/month is this the same as adding the 4 premium channel package as far as what channels I get?

I noticed the 4 channel package is $42/month but the difference in the Top 250 and America's Everything Pak is only $35/month so I wanted to make sure there is no difference in the channels I get.

If you're adding just 1 or 2 premiums, keep the top 250. If you want 3 or all 4, then switch to the Everything pak so you get a better value.

I wouldn't add Aep till the Free Starz promo is over at the end of the year.

If your question is if the channel line up is the same the answer is yes. Whether you get the packages separate or all in the everything package you will get the same channels.

One disadvantage of the AEP is that normally when the freebie movies for 1-3 months show up, you can't get them...

Well you still get the channels, you just don't get a refund during the free period. I wouldn't complain too much, you already get a discount by having all 4 of them together.

uh, huh. Getting AEP saves you $7/month over having all the movies channels as picks, for a year that is $84 in savings.

This year, if you are like many of us, you just got HBO/Sho for 3 months free. That's $24/month for 3 months, for a year that is $72. So you would save $12 more in a year with AEP. Unless you got the 3 month deal and then at the end get AEP...

Lots of ways to play with the numbers.

I assume that is $105 plus receiver fees and taxes.

Yup. For me, the regular price would be $104.99 + $6.00 DVR fee = $110.99 + taxes
