What is the Movies Extra Pack?
The Movies Extra Pack used to be known as the HD Extra Pack. The name change is actually pretty recent. It started out as a way to bundle together channels that didn’t have SD versions, but since it’s 2018 and no one really watches SD anyway, it was rebranded. You’ll find channels from Sony, MGM, Universal and HDNet full of older movies. If you’re a classic movies fan you will love these. You’ll also get really top notch documentaries from Smithsonian, and Kleenex fans will find everything they hoped for with the Hallmark Movie Channel.
The movies you’ll find here aren’t available on streaming services or anywhere else unless you rent them individually, which makes the Movies Extra Pack a really fantastic value.
Is it worth it?
Of course you have to decide for yourself, but I think the Movies Extra Pack is worth a few extra dollars. Start with this week’s free preview. Generally an additional 3-month preview is available from DIRECTV.com and I expect that to be the case again here. After the preview is over, log into your account at DIRECTV.com or ATT.com and you should be able to add a 3-month free preview of the Movies Extra Pack. After 3 months and a week, you’ll have a pretty good idea if these channels are worth your time.
