The Advantage of DIRECTV:

DIRECTV:
Ask a friend how much she enjoys DIRECTV. Likely she'll tell you of all the channels available, the clear 100% digital picture, and the ease of scrolling through the program guide while continuing to watch her current program. The DIRECTV advantage is easily apparent. In comparison to cable DIRECTV offers over 135 100% true digital channels for only $41.99 (Initial room service. Adding additional rooms only cost a few dollars more). Cable cannot offer true digital on all channels. In fact, cable companies only supply "digital" programming for an additional monthly fee to the channels 100 and above. DIRECTV is greatly comprehensive for such a low cost. DIRECTV features : access toexclusive sports programming,premium movie channels , the latest inPay Per View movies and events, 36 commercial-free music stations, plus the well-known and user-friendly

TiVo /Digital Video Recorder(DVR). Unlike competitors you actually own the equipment you receive for FREE when you sign up. You'll gain access to a rapidly expanding selection ofinternational programming. You can rest assured your questions will be handled by a qualified human technician awaiting your questions. Forget automated voice machines who are slowly taking over the switch boards. Call now to speak to a person: 1.888.878.3106 In addition to the above, DIRECTV is making major movements towards delivering the ultimate High Definition experience available.

Cable:
Cable is the old technology. Cable once once the forefront of evolving technology, now it has fallen behind as bigger and better technology premiers. Although cable has enjoyed a long, successful journey it is now struggling to stay in the game. Any station below a 3 digit number (i.e. 4, 8, 13, 27, 41) is in low resolution, analog signals. These analog signals travel through millions of miles of cable before reaching your TV. Satellite TV, vs cable, sends the signal directly to your home via your dish/antenna. The cable box, wiring and other equipment still belongs to the cable company. Cable takes back their equipment or over charges to compensate for their equipment. In short, cable is inferior in that it actually costs more and delivers much less. Cable companies count on uninformed consumers to continue business. With a little information, a few facts, and a good grasp of the "DIRECTV vs cable" discussion you are armed to make your own educated guess. Give us a call: 1.888.878.3106

The Quality of DIRECTV:

DIRECTV:
The quality of DIRECTV is accomplished by sincere dedication to customers. DIRECTV offers all channels in a high quality, 100% digital format. Digital satellite TV means no more signal loss or distortion. The picture is always pure and clean* Looking for something even greater than 100% digital quality?

DIRECTV truly cares about its customers and has many customer service advantages that are not present with our competition (especially cable). How well do you get along with your cable company? Does it ever feel like its you VS them? Give us a call and lets start a new relationship: 1.888.878.3106

Cable:
It is difficult to identify actual quality with cable services. The general perception of quality is habit and familiarity since cable has been around and been mich the same for decades. In reality DIRECTV satellite TV has everything you're used to plus much more.Satellite TV is an innovation spurred from the idea of cable but with more option, like the revolutionary DIRECTV DVR with TiVo. Cable attempts to keep customers spreading myths about satellite TV and offering second-rate (instead of cut rate) products like 'On Demand' , a watered down version of a DVR.'On Demand' VS TiVo is a comical match. With the user-friendly interface TiVo offers customers select their favorites and don't settle for the slim choices of 'On Demand'. The nature of cables, VS satellite signals, tends towards widespread, frequent malfunctioning that effect all members as cable passes the cost of frequent repairs on to all customers. It's time to maje a change. It's time for an educated decision. Make the change to DIRECTV. Forget Cable.

*Signal loss occurs less than 1% of the time and is generally caused by catastrophic weather. 1% loss is incredible vs the high rate of cable disturbances.

The World of High Definition (HD):

DIRECTV:Satellite TV quality VS cable TV quality . . . cables going to charge extra. Quality is the standard for satellite TV.
Our society is trending towards the world of High Definition. Major manufacturers and retailers are investing billions, all due to the high demand received from consumers. Most consumers want higher quality, more enjoyable entertainment at affordable rates. DIRECTV has launched the largest HD campaign ever with the launch of their pristine HD satellite This new system is capable of delivering 500+ channels in high definition straight to you. As the "satellite TV VS cable" battle rages on, this is an enormous advantage. DIRECTV offers 100% digital quality with and without HD. If you have an HD TV, and are still subscribing to cable, chances are you aren't as happy as you could be. Don't blame technology, blame cable for slacking. Read below to find out why.

Cable:
Cable TV offers digital cable, but only on the channels 100 or higher. These are not included in your standard cable and require hefty fees to add so few channels. Cable too offers select HD channels. Though the majority of cable is broadcast as low resolution, analog signal. This tends to cause serious problems with those who own HD televisions. HD TVs must convert analog signals into a digital signal, then present it on screen amplifying the analog imperfections. If you own HD equipment, you need Satellite TV. HD TV with cable can flux in and out of HD while you are watching a program, this is due to the high def recording cameras and their functioning. If what you're watching is live, do not be surprised to shift between analog and high definition with cable. It is a fact, it is common, ir is tremendously noticeable. Plus it is horribly inconsistant regarding picture and sound quality. Cable TV cannot provide the consistency which DIRECTV has already mastered.

The Genius of the DIRECTV DVR with TiVo:

Cable:
Cable is attempting to keep its remaining customers by building the perception of 'On Demand'. Which is a fairly confusing statement. It's not really on your demand or even what you demand. It is predetermined programs recorded and offered in a menu for you to select from, often forgetting the better programs in leiu of space fillers. It is easy to recognize the difference right away. If you've experienced 'On Demand' and/or TiVo you already have bared witness to the enormous differences. TiVo allows you to choose what you want, when you want, and keep it as long as you want.
