I believe the programming charges are the same as in the continental US and it depends on what package you select. Their website has all the information. DirectTV I believe is still a presence here but the programming comes out of PR and I've heard nothing good about it!

OT is correct. Same packages, costs, etc. as on their website.
I don't know about DirectTV so someone else can answer that.

DirecTV is no longer out of Puerto Rico. It's DirecTV Latin America out of Trinidad. The majority of the programming is in Spanish.

We have the top 120 or something it's the middle package. We pay $70 including HBO - SHO - CINE channels like discovery and animal planet and history for me and of course hunny has all the football stuff like red-zone. Was $55 but the football stuff added about $20. Boyfriend is bummed not to have the DirectTV NFL package but I am stoked that we don't have $160 bills which we did with direct. Most commercials on dish local channels are in Spanish lol. Maybe I will learn Spanish by watching them lol.

Here is the Direct TV LA website.
The networks are from the USA, not PR http://www.directvcaribbean.com/re/

Most people for whom we have installed DirectLA wanted the football and or baseball pack.
Cost per year is $600, plus football /baseball packs.
