DirecTV: Doing the Dishes
Is Direct TV Network satellite making cable obsolete?
Direct TV Network satellite service gives you a lot more for a lot less than cable. If you compare the picture quality, the price, and the number of channels, you’ll discover that DirecTV Network satellite service wins out every time against cable.
And because DirecTV has so many individual subscription options, it’s easy to pick out a service plan that will be just right for you and your household.
The DirecTV dish service company is always offering great deals to new and existing customers. By checking the DirecTV Web site you can quickly get an idea of the specials that are currently running.
You can also call DirecTV to learn about any exclusive specials running in your area. But even without a specific deal going on, DirecTV is a bargain when compared to cable. You can generally get at least 50 more TV channels for the same price as a typical cable subscription.
With DirecTV Network satellite service, it’s not just the number of channels that you get, but the quality of the picture that you see. All channels that you get with DirecTV are digital, and you have the option to add an off-air antenna that allows you to get local programming in high definition (HD).
While cable gives you some digital channels, a lot of their channels will still be in analog. This means they’ll be less clear.
DVR - the TiVo for DirecTV customers
One of the best benefits DirecTV provides every customer is the DirecTV digital video recorder (DVR). You’ve probably heard of TiVo … well, DVR is the TiVo for the DirecTV Network satellite service.
With DVR you’ll be able to record 70 hours of TV shows. And, you can even record two shows simultaneously if you want, and watch them later without commercials. You can also watch live TV as if it were recorded. This means you can fast forward, pause, and rewind at will.
Another benefit of going with a DirecTV dish is that you can get high-speed DSL service for your computer. This means your Internet connection will be fast, even if other users are on a computer nearby.
The icing on the cake is that installation is often free. You don’t have to worry at all about figuring out how to attach that little DirecTV dish to the side of your house or apartment. Just look for a plan that offers free installation (most of them do) and let the Direct TV professional installation crew do the work.
So how can such a tiny dish bring you so much quality entertainment? Inside the DirecTV dish is an antenna that receives information from six DirecTV Network satellites. By hooking the dish up to your home, you’re directly tapping into the power of these satellites.
When your DirecTV dish is installed, it will be aimed at these satellites, which are fixed in the sky. These satellites are constantly receiving digitized broadcast signals from broadcast centers back on Earth. All this transmission occurs almost instantly and ensures that you have the best quality picture at all times.
This thing that seems to have purchased half of the cable advertising airtime is out to make the cable companies, and a few homeowner’s associations, as obsolete as the mobile trunk telephone.
Right now all those good shows in such good resolution and sound are whizzing about right over your head … knowing that makes you want to head for your computer or the phone to schedule your own DirecTV installation.
