Best package for most households
Entertainment is the best place to start if it includes your must-have channels. Choice is usually the stronger option for local-team coverage because regional sports networks are available with Choice and higher packages in eligible markets.
Best package for movies
Ultimate adds more movie-focused channels. Premier is designed for viewers who want the largest lineup and premium networks in one package. Compare the bundled premium networks with buying only the add-ons you watch.
