You have to scroll to the left, it is hidden. But even at $150 you still saved $30.
I got the 4k free with the 4 month pre paid.my only issue is the remote.
It's the worst remote on the planet and absolutely hate using it to watch tv.

yeah that's exactly what they do. It defaults to the midlevel tier, and you have to manually select the lowest level $35 tier.
Have you already paid? If not try again, and look at the tabs at the top for "Select Plan," then you should be able to get the cheaper one.
I'm not 100% sure on this one, so maybe someone else can confirm, but as far as I understand yeah you should be able to, once you prepay for the three months and get charged.
Looks like there's an option to cancel at any time. I'll wait till the device ships and then cancel. The deal was too good to wait. Thanks!
I’ve been wanting to cut the cable cord for a while. Maybe we should start with this. Any of these packages are cheaper than what we pay now, lol. Plus a free Apple 4K TV? Very tempting.
The main thing is that we want to watch TV live just like on cable, especially sports... and Game of Thones. I can bend on everything else. We make regular use of On Demand since we don’t watch TV at the exact start time now. I like to binge watch older TV shows, currently through my Amazon Prime subscription.

No, Hulu will do HD if you have at least 10mbps available. It’ll do 4K, but only on the high end game consoles. I think I recently read that an update is coming for ATV and Fire4K
I can't speak for sports, but DTVNow has one of the best HBO add ons at $5 extra/month. So if you do basic package it'll be $40/month total with HBO.
Thanks! Sports has been the only reason we’ve held out on moving away from cable, (yes, kind of silly, my husband wants what he wants!), but it looks like the other packages will have this covered. Still reviewing... have to tally with internet.
Sure
You can also use your DTVNow log-in for HBO GO and essentially watch everything available on HBO through its own app.I've got to say this is a great deal.
No good friends? C’mon over. Make friends. Get a cheap ATV 4K.
Nope...sadly no

DirecTV has great service, at least in their support chat. I explained that I'd signed up for the promotion three days ago, paying the full price for four months and that I was therefore missing out on one month of my Unlimited Plus discount. All I was asking for was a credit for the $15 difference, but they credited the full $35! I now get the month of June free, making my AppleTV essentially cost me only $25.
It will show 3 once you select the specific package. So if you select the far left package at 35.00 a month, on the next page it will show Apple TV if prepaid 3 months of service. Select that and on the next page it will show 3 months prepaid with a total of 105.00.
