The minimum subscription period is 3 months.Bummer.Amish,You could always pick up a cheap base pack that contains many of the common channels you need. Add them up with addon packages(say, if you want all english movie channels or the a la carte price of the channels is more than the price of the addon pack) and then to that add a-la carte channels that are otherwise part of a very expensive group. Works out to be lot cheaper that what you would be paying currently.
