Scott ar you talking about me. I have what your talking about but I am not on direct tv unfortunately. Direct tv and the package that I have with giga power gigabit connection would have ben a really pricy proposition so I just did the cord cutting approach got all the channels I could off the other providers like you tube tv, hoolu tv, sling, and sony has a package and I got all the channels that I wanted in an ala cart bundle with out having to pay what direct tv and the uverse giga power giga bit connection bundle would have cost me. I got all this for under $300 which if I did the giga power bundle with direct tv iwas looking north of $550 with everything a month . at this point aht was not wfor me but just letting you thatthese hight band width connection and all the tv that you can stomach is going ot cost you a pricy bundle as well.
