Select is no longer available as of February 2012. Select Classic is an available retention package, and the Family package is also available, although not advertised.
How do I know? I changed my Mom's package to Select in 2011 during the second year of of her agreement. When the price increase hit after the first year promotion discount expired, the two of us chatted about what she watches on DirecTV. After reading very informative posts here on this subject, I suggested to my Mom that Select would offer a decent number of channels at a reasonable price, and the change was made to Select without any problem.
Select did not have a price increase in 2012, but is increasing to $46.99 in February 2013.
In reference to Iceberg's post, here's the link to the PDF file that details all the packages: http://www.satelliteguys.us/attachment.php?attachmentid=83828&d=1356826737
You said that Select was no longer available ...
Is it Select Classic that is going up to $46.99 ?

see above. 2 different packages. Select Classic is availableSo there is no way to get the "Select" package any more.....even through retention?
you can change your package at any time with no penalty.....so you could go to Entertainment today and next week go to Choice. Its only the premium programming that you need to keep for 30 daysI'm currently on the "Choice Extra" package (new DTV customer since September) and I would like to downgrade to the "Entertainment" package. Is there a PENALTY for downgrading during your 1st year of your commitment?
If you're moving packages that are available online might work just as easyIf not, is it better to change packages ONLINE or by PHONE?
