Great Features Offered Through DirecTV

By: David Johnson


DirecTV is a satellite provider that offers, what has been considered by many to be the, the best value and affordability in satellite television today. The list of features and options offered by DirecTV is a very long one, but a long one worth reading. To name a few of the features that DirecTV is proud to offer right of the bat, they offer free hardware and installation in up to 4 different rooms in your home or workplace, they offer reliable yet user friendly password protected parental controls, they offer and support High Definition television compatibility, they offer one of the greatest selections and variety of channel packages that include popular movie channels and sports channels, and they also offer TiVo and the Digital Video Recorder as part of the free hardware. This of course is just a brief summary of the incredibly options and features of the DirecTV entertainment experience. It would be better to take a closer look at these features first though in order to get a better idea at what you would be looking at if you decided to switch to DirecTV today or in the near future. Let's start by taking a look at one of the more popular options offered through
DirecTV:

TiVo and DVR

DirecTV offers the latest and greatest in home entertainment on the market today. If you are not familiar with the TiVo and DVR units and their benefits prepare to get excited. TiVo is a product that can integrate into your satellite television interface. All with the same remote that you use for things like your satellite TV parental controls, your satellite TV channel changing, etc.., you will be able to pause and rewind TV as it is aired LIVE! TiVo is a fantastic device that is slowly but surely revolutionizing the way people watch television all over the world. TiVo gives you the feel of watching a VHS or DVD but with live television. The first time that you get your hands on it, you will have trouble believing it. You will also wonder how you ever watched television with out it! Now the DVR or Digital Video Recorder is a device that works great in conjunction with the TiVo system. The DVR basically replaces the old VCR's (or Video Cassette Recorders) as it is made for recording television for the sake of watching later. The main differences between the DVR and the VCR is that with the DVR it is much easier to use and it records directly onto the DVR unit instead of a large and cumbersome VHS tape. VCR recording tends to end up with a very low quality, sometimes static ridden and grainy picture. Since the DVR is totally digital the recording will always end up exactly the way it was meant to be as it ran on television. Plus you will be able to record and store hours of your favorite programs, and when your DVR starts running out of room (which takes quite a few shows) you can simply remove old programs to make room for the new ones!
