TIVO CAN IMPROVE YOUR MARRIAGE

You might be surprised to know that television habit is one of the leading causes of domestic disputes in America. Either the husband is so ensnared by an NFL game that induces the wife to nag him about household chores, or the wife is so smitten with George Clooney that she competes with the husband for the remote.

1st amendment and distant local stations ban

» 1st amendment and distant local stations ban
Filed under:   Posted By: On A Mission @ 2:02 pm 3/9/2005

I’m a little ticked off to say the least about the federal ban on being able to view local network affiliate stations from other cities. The basis for the ban is some but not all local ABC, FOX, NBC station got congress to pass a law that gives network stations exclusive rights to network programming within their respective markets. In other words in you live in San Antonio you can only watch Who Wants to Marry a Complete Stranger from the local San Antonio station and not Los Angeles. It boils down to making sure the San Antonio station can continue to make money from the local Ford dealership when the network breaks away for local commercials. (more…)


DirecTV’s battle against signal theft and smart cards

It is a widely known fact that there are many people receiving signal from satellite TV stations illegally without paying their monthly fees. What exactly are the Satellite TV Providers doing against pirates and how massive and effective are their actions, is a fact that is much less known.

Taking DirecTV as an example, they have replaced their access cards last spring, and they claim no one has hacked the new cards so far, which means that it is impossible to steal DirecTV’s signal. (more…)

The Sports Programming from Satellite TV Providers is a deciding factor for some when choosing between DISH Network and DIRECT TV. Generally speaking their really isn’t a lot of difference in the two major providers.

Except…. When it comes to Football! Direct TV has it all, The DIRECTV NFL Sunday Ticket is the most popular seasonal sports package of all time. Dish Network has many benefits over Direct TV… like the Free DVR and Free HD 811 receivers, but that it.

For hard core Football Fans, it doesn’t matter, They want Football and as much as they can get. To get a closer look at what DISH TV and DIRECTV has in Sports Programming check out the these pages.

Direct TV DVR with TiVo

Yesterday i talked about Dish Network and their Free DVR (Digital Video Recorder). It’s only fair i mention The DVR Powered by TiVo from DIRECTV. If you have been looking on retailer websites lately you would have noticed DIRECTV does not advertise their DVR for FREE.

This is because they do charge you a fee upfront BUT, you get an instant rebate. You will notice i mention two five star retailers on this site i recommend for your Direct TV. iSatellite and Rapid Satellite - Their are advantages to both retailers.

As far as the best price for a DVR from DIRECTV, Rapid Satellite offers the best deal at this time. Click the link and on Rapids site click best price and add the first DVR to the cart and you will notice the charge is $0.00 (FREE). They give you an instant Rebate. :)

Getting a free DVR 522 or DVR 510 (digital video recorder) from Dish Network is the best idea dish has had yet. Instead of charging hundreds of dollars and limiting the customers options, Dish has decided to offer the DVR at no charge :).

The DISH Network DVR is one of the coolest receivers ever. I just receved mine and can’t waite to let you know how great it is. My friends that have one tell me, they love it and don’t know how they ever watched TV without it. If you are new to DISH TV Service, check out these two five star retailers to get a DISH Network DVR Receiver Free. iDishnetwork and AllSat **
