Direct TV Deals

Pretty much everything you need to know about satellite receivers boils down to features. What do you want to be able to do with your DIRECTV service? With the right receiver, you can record your favorite shows with a built-in hard drive, or watch awesome sports and movies in stunning high definition. It's your choice.

Choose your options
Here's a look at the different types of receivers you can get with DIRECTV service. Once you've decided on what you want, all you have to do is call 1-800-401-7698 to sign up for service or upgrade an existing subscription.

Basic receivers
DIRECTV's basic receivers are just that: basic. Much like a receiver from the cable company, DIRECTV's version controls the channels you can view based on your subscription. A basic receiver also comes with a comprehensive program guide that allows you to see everything scheduled on all channels for days at a time. Some basic receivers even come with built-in games that you can play for free.
DVR with TiVo®
If you want to record TV at the touch of a button, a DVR with TiVo receiver is the perfect solution. It combines all the standard features of a basic receiver, plus the ability to record up to 70 hours of programming (even two shows at once) on its built-in hard drive. The included TiVo service, which is only $4.99 a month, also allows you to control live TV by pausing and rewinding whatever you're watching.
High-definition TV
Now that HDTV is so popular, DIRECTV has a solution for its customers that combines its own HD programming package with the ability to receive and watch local HD networks that may be broadcasting in your area. DIRECTV's HD receivers let owners of HD-ready TVs tune into exciting high-definition channels like ESPN HD, Discovery HD Theater, Bravo HD and more. Plus, you can also connect an antenna to the receiver and watch any local network (ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC, WB, UPN and PBS) that's already broadcasting its HD programming for free. The built-in program guide even integrates the information for these channels, making it seamless to switch back and forth from DIRECTV to the over-the-air channels.

DIRECTV even offers an HD receiver with TiVo DVR service, allowing you to record hours of high-def shows to enjoy whenever you want.

And with a commitment to launch several more satellites in the coming years, DIRECTV will have the ability to potentially add hundreds of additional HD channels as they become available. If you own an HD-ready set, DIRECTV is one of the top providers of programming and is ready to remain so in the future.

Is it that easy?
In a word , yes! Signing up for and enjoying DIRECTV service, whether it's with basic receivers or a combination of DVR and HD models, has never been easier. To get started, all you have to do is call 1-800-401-7698 and Rapid Satellite can get you on your way to enjoying all-digital entertainment from DIRECTV.
