DirecTV is a
digital satellite entertainment service
provider.
There is a war between the satellite dish and the digital cable.
Here are some disadvantages
that dishes have (gathered from Time Warner/DirecTV websites):
- A dish is yours to keep, fix, replace and upgrade ($$$)
- You need more than 1 receiver to watch more than 1 thing at a time ($$$)
- Bad weather can cause you to lose your satellite reception.
Rain or high winds can block a DBS signal or push a dish out of
alignment (it's called rain fade) (!!!)
- Pay extra for local channels (??...$$$)
- Not available outside USA, legally prohibited (f!@*&^)
Yeah a lot of that is claimed in
Charter digital cable
commercials (I myself use
charter). On the flip side there
are also claims that DirecTV makes:
- There's more choice for the basic price
- DirecTV can provide satellite internet access ($$$)
- Offers Ultimate TV, TiVo, AOLTV
- You can get it even if you are miles from a cable company
