What channel number is for ABC Family on DirecTV?

Is there a cheaper alternative to our directv set up? roku? other?

• We currently have 6 directv dvr's in our house. We some how pay about $150 each month for the $65.99 package! We pay $6 for 5 extra dvrs a month( $30), plus the occassional ppv movie $6..(maybe 1-2 a month). Hbo and showtime $25..which we have just to watch 4 certain original shows. Plus we have to pay $10 for hd since we have hd boxes/tvs on some and dvr service. Were willing to eliminate 1-2 dvrs but that will only save us $12 a month. We have several computers and wireless router with fios from verizon. 2 story house. We want each tv location to play individual content or shows... But here is the channels we need and I don't know if roku has them. Maybe some other thing does? Would a monthly fee aply for all boxes and for each channel? NFL channel or games Nickolodeon Disney Channel TruTV Local channels. Abc,nbc, cbs, cw, fox. Espn Is this possible or are we better off just sticking with directv.

• Answer:

  Cut HBO/showtime, cut the movies, cut a few DVRs, and you should be OK. With 6 DVRs , you don't have a home, you have a sports bar :-)
