DIRECTV Spanish Packages

Spanish language in the United States is spoken at home by 13.2% of people. This translates to over 41 million people which places Spanish language as the second most spoken at home after English. These numbers are from the Wikipedia's page about Languages of the United States.

Such large number of Spanish speaking folks (habla español) prompts for services in that language. Accordingly, a demand for TV programming in Spanish is large as well.

DIRECTV Spanish Programming – DIRECTV en Español

Being a satellite TV provider, DIRECTV is in a position to offer international programming from all over the world, including channels with programming in Spanish language. The offer is dictated by the demand, resulting in four DIRECTV Spanish packages – DIRECTV en Español – and four add-ons in Spanish, too. In the continuation of this article, we'll go into the details of the each package and add-on.

DIRECTV Spanish Packages with Prices

The four Spanish packages by DIRECTV are actually a combination of channels in Spanish and English. We have to make a note here, as DIRECTV now offers its programming Via Satellite and Via Internet. The service that is Via Satellite is the traditional DIRECTV using a dish to get the satellite signal. This form of service is where DIRECTV offers those four Spanish packages. But if you opt for the Via Internet service, there is only one Spanish package.

The table below lists the four Spanish packages that are delivered over the satellite dish.
