Direct TV ReviewsThe best advertisement for satellite TV is cable TV. With poor channel selection and indifferent customer service, cable in most places suck and even where it does not Direct TV is still better. For those who feel like cable companies trap their users into contracts and then forget about them, Direct TV is their best alternative.

How Much Work Is It To Install a Direct TV Dish?

In most cases professional installation will require drilling a few holes in a roof or balcony, nothing major. The most trouble a customer will have to go through for installation is moving a few pieces of furniture away from the wall in case the installer needs to run a Direct TV cable, but beyond that installation is fast, easy and worry-free.

Direct TV reviews

For the most part reviews are positive, most people are happy about their ability to get 150 channels on the basic service. They are happy with the quality of the DVRs, and the football programming in particular is hugely popular. The handful of complaints are about satellite TV in general, tend to be from more than 10 years ago and are not really relevant to today’s technology.

Deals with Direct TV

Among the many Direct TV deals is the offer of free premium cable for 3 months when a new customer signs up. The new customer gets the opportunity to find out what makes premium cable premium. If they do not want to keep premium cable that is fine; they still have more than 150 channels from which to choose, and that is just on the basic plan. Other Direct TV packages include more 285 channels that cost less than $100 altogether. It should be pointed to that in some cases one premium cable channel may have several more specialized channels that come as a part of the subscription, so that the customer may get several channels just with one subscription. Apart from the superior channel selection, Direct TV also has plans that include high definition receivers and digital video recorders that allow the user to record any TV show that is being watched on any TV in any room of the house. It can all be done with one DVR.

Phone apps from Direct TV

It is now also possible to get some programming “to go”. This means that Direct TV offers smart-phone apps that allow customers to actually watch some programming on their phone. Not only can they catch up on their Sunday football via their smart-phones, customers can also program their DVRs to record TV shows using those phones. All the major brands of smart-phone and their operating systems are supported.

For those who would like to find out more about how they can get Direct TV plans that include up to 285 channels including a wide variety of sports programming, Direct TV customer service is great and always ready to help. Compare that to the customer service of a cable provider who has a monopoly and knows that their customers are not likely to go anywhere no matter how badly they get treated. Direct TV is even ready for those customers who move. A Direct TV user simply has to call ahead and schedule a move, Direct TV will take of the rest, and ensure that they will have service in their new residence.
