With all the available programming packages from Direct TV, how do you decide which one to order? A good way is to look at your family's viewing habits. Which channels would you be most likely to view frequently? If you plan to subscribe to a DVR (Digital Video Recording) service, what programs or movies would you be most likely to want to record? You should also look at your budget and choose the programming package that fits in with what you can afford. For example, if the Total Choice Premier is out of your budget range, you could order Total Choice and include the movie package that you would watch the most. If you're a sports fan, you could leave the movies off and just subscribe to as many of the sports packages as you enjoy.
