I’m making the switch from Time Warner to DirecTV…mainly for the picture quality and HD support. I’m looking at the channel lineups. It seems as though MSG is only avail. on the $99/month package? Is that true? Can you add it to the other lower packages? THANKS. ---

Find out whatever pack DTV has their RSN’s available in. I know Dish has it in their Top 60+ pack so i assume DTV wouldn’t put it in a really high pack. ---

My girlfriends mom has directv, she gets all the sabres games on MSG. The channel she gets it on isn’t labeled MSG, its called FSNY or something. She’s not the one to buy an expensive satellite package, so it should come on the more modest package. ---

Yes this is true, you will get MSG and the YES network for free on any one of our packages. Even the the cheapest one. 155 channels for 44.99/month. PM me for more details. I can have a DirecTV rep call you if you are interested.
