Programming

DIRECTV typically bundles their programming together into different packages, so that customers can receive the best prices possible. However, select channels are available on an a la carte basis. See our programming section for details.

 DIRECTV offers up to 31 commercial-free music channels through Music Choice. Ranging from Jazz and Country to Classical and Hit List, there is music available for every musical taste.

DIRECTV is the provider of the most comprehensive sports programming lineup in the digital home entertainment industry, and they pay close attention to sports blackouts and restrictions. As these restrictions are sometimes complicated, please refer to directv.com's sports blackouts page for further details.

The companies that provide the RSNs to DIRECTV, such as FOX Sports Direct, determine the area of in-market availability for each regional sports network. The constraints of C-band satellite systems, cable systems, and our system, differ slightly, which is why RSN territories differ from one system to another. Most people get the same Regional Sports Network from DIRECTV as they would from cable. But in some areas of the country, there are differences. This is because FOX Sports Net bases RSN service on zip codes for satellite customers, but on county boundaries for cable customers. This difference is necessary because of the technical difference in how the satellite and cable signals are distributed.
