Back in 1994 DirecTV was first introduced to the public by General Motors and Hughes electronics making it the first digital broadcast system in the entire world. Currently DirecTV has over 15 million customers in America and Latin America. Their revenues in 2005 were over 3 billion dollars.
DirecTV is the leading provider of satellite television in America. They remain at the top for customer service satisfaction. Maybe it is because they offer such a huge range of channels in their programming selections or because they provide their high end equipment and professional installation free with every new subscriber.
You can also sell this equipment if you ever want to, not that you will. Since DirecTV provides one hundred percent pure digital picture and sound you will get the best out of your viewing experience at a price that costs less that old analog cable provider.
DirecTV provides their customers with up to 225 standard channels compared to cables average of 100. On top of that DirecTV also offers the exclusive rights to some big name sports channels and packages that include the NHL Center Ice, MLB Extra Innings, NBA League Pass, and the NY Yankee games.
Best of all DirecTV offers the NFL Sunday Ticket that gives you access to 14 professional football games every week during the season. This is a deal breaker for any true NFL fans. This goes for the NBA League pass which grants you access to ever NBA game during the season.
DirecTV also offers international channels and Spanish and Chinese language programming services. DirecTV’s Para Todos service provides more than 45 Spanish language channels. These channels include sports, news, music, movies, and educational networks. Phoenix TV offers Mandarin programming 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
The price for a standard DirecTV package starts at around thirty dollars. DirecTV offers first time customer incentives such as free TV systems for up to four rooms and even free DVD players, home theater systems, digital cameras, or movie channels. These free incentives almost always come with a commitment from you in the form of a contract for 12 to 18 months of service.
Since the satellite TV market has become so competitive the two main companies are offering almost similar packages but each has their own niche. Both companies offer more than 200 channels, integrated digital video recorder (DVR), and HDTV channels. They also both offer great customer service but J.D. Power and Associated rate DirecTV number one.
You are even able to find such introductory offers from DirecTV that start as low as $19.99. You can try looking online for such a deal.
When you compare DirecTV to Dish Network you may go one way or the other based on special programming that one offers but if you compare either company to cable television you will see there is no comparing. When you go with satellite TV you are not only getting better picture and sound quality with more channels, but you are also getting it at a lower price.
