DIRECTV BASIC
Direct TV Stays On Top Of TV Technology
Over A Decade of Improvements For Direct TV Back in 1994, a revolution in home entertainment occurred. This was the founding of the satellite television company Direct TV. Before 1994, satellite television was not a very appealing option. Satellite dishes were huge and cumbersome and service was spotty. For most families, cable television was the better option. Only people living in rural areas without cable service and people who loved messing with satellite equipment for the sheer fun of it opted for satellite television. However, with Direct TV's founding, things changed dramatically. Satellite dishes became smaller and easily portable (in fact, small enough to fit on RV's or boats) and service became standardized and much improved. Direct TV even started offering its service in the high quality digital format- a previously unheard of improvement over analog television. Because of this company's founding, now over 15 million American households have Direct TV satellite service and television technology has improved even for the people still using cable television.
A great advantage of satellite television over cable television is the sheer number of channels that are possible to receive. No cables limit the amount of data that can be transmitted to a home, so satellite television is much better at offering a plethora of choices. This is readily evident in Direct TV's programming packages. Total Choice, one of the smaller packages, contains an incredible 155 channels. And, Total Choice Premier, a popular choice for sports and movie fans, holds an incredible 250 channels. These packages combine the entertainment you'd expect, like news, comedy, sports, movies, kid's networks, and educational programming, with extras like local channels and XM satellite radio.
Satellite television's viewing choices are not limited to just the basic programming packages, however. A full range of additional programming options are offered that can be added to the base package. An extremely popular addition is a seasonal sports subscription. Choices like MLB Extra Innings, NFL Sunday Ticket, NHL on the Ice, NBA League Pass, and ESPN Gameday are all available. Spanish language channels are another popular choice with their ability to bring almost 100 Spanish channels to your screen. Other options include premium movies packages, adult entertainment, and pay per view. And, of course, Direct TV offers an HDTV programming package. This package contains more HD channels than any other satellite or cable tv provider. HDTV programming includes ABC, Fox, CBS, HDNet Movies, and ESPN. Direct TV will also get you an HD receiver and other necessary equipment to make viewing these High Definition (HD) channels possible.
Direct TV's ability to create innovative devices that improve television viewing has not abated over the years. Fairly recently, the company introduced the first digital video recorder, or DVR. Combining the ease of the electronic program guide with a computerized ability to record and store programming, the DVR is the first real solution to the frustrating problem of trying to record programming on a VCR. By being integrated with the satellite receiver's functions, the DVR is also able to let a viewer record programming while watching other shows and even to pause, rewind, and replay live television. The subscribers who have already started using the DVR (Digital Video Recorder) have found it incredibly convenient and easy to use and cannot imagine going back to television viewing without it.
