Do you own your own satellite TV system and subscribe to Directv (aka Direct TV)? Then consider an upgrade to a Directv Tivo system. Tivo is a type of digital video recorder that allows you to record one thing while watching another. So ladies, if your man wants to watch the game at the same time that your favorite television show is on, you can have your show recorded while he watches the game. Or make him suffer by taping the game.

When you have a Direct satellite TV, you have a lot of options to choose from, including the Direct TV Tivo. Like mentioned above, the Directv Tivo records one show while you watch another. Well, other digital recording devices do that too and have for a while now. The Direct TV Tivo is a little special. You can actually record two different shows at the same time!

When a customer first gets their TV satellite dish through Directv, they turn down the Directv Tivo option. However, after a few months of realizing all of the cool shows they miss because of the plethora of programming choices through Direct TV, they decide to go the Tivo route after all. People tend to get attached to certain TV shows and when they start to conflict, agony pursues on deciding which show to watch!

Your Direct TV Tivo is also easy to set up and program. You just bring up your Directv programming guide on your TV screen and choose the TV shows you want to record. And voilá! You will soon have a digital recording of your favorite shows. The neat thing about this Tivo is that you can program your set to record an entire season of shows! There are no more worries about trying to remember to set your Direct TV Tivo each week.

Another advantage to the Tivo is that, unlike a VCR, you are not fumbling with the buttons trying to set the time and date. You also don’t have to worry about recording gray static or whether the VCR tape gets stuck in the machine. Then there’s that pesky double checking to make sure you have the television on the correct channel as well as the VCR being set properly too.

Direct TV’s competitor the Dish network has digital video recorders available but they can only tape one show, unlike the Directv Tivo option. So if you do not have a TV satellite dish and satellite TV receiver yet, think about the Tivo option before deciding on the satellite TV service you want to go for. Directv Tivo may be just the ticket to make your decision.

Kids want to watch one thing while mom and dad also disagree on what to watch. Direct TV Tivo equals compromise in many households. You might say that it makes a great peacekeeper. Now all you have to do is decide on who gets to hold the remote control!

Of course just about everyone has heard of DirecTV’s sports programming and their twenty-five premium sports channels along with the two fantastic sports channels that they have exclusive rights to but DirecTV is also well known for a few other things as well. To start with they are the home of the Total Choice series of programming packages and they are recognized as some of the most well balanced and intelligently compiled programming packages that you can find anywhere.

You see, not all TV programming service providers are the same and some of then like to cut corners with regards to their costs on the programming that they buy on the open market to send out to their customers. They may offer you loads of channels, but when you take a closer look you will find that they have chinced on the premium programming and filled in here and there with cheapo programming and hope that you won’t notice.

All of the programming that DirecTV procures on the open market is the best that is available and this is one of the reasons that they are the leading satellite TV programming provider with well over twelve million members in their family of TV Viewers.

Their Family Choice programming package is their economical entry level package and it comes with forty great channels of TV programming. It comes with all the programming that a family needs to get started watching satellite TV programming, including all your local standard channels in digitized format. It contains Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, The Discovery Channel, MTV and ESPN just to name a few of the choices in it.

It also has one of the lowest overall costs per channel that you will find anywhere. The satellite TV receiver that you will get with this package with the free satellite system that they provide for you is called the Hughes Director and it’s perfect for this package.

Their next package up is called Total Choice and it has one-hundred and fifty-five great channels of programming and with this package you will be using the Hughes Executive receiver with its larger channel capacity and functions such as custom menu feature that will help you to organize the greater amount of programming that you will have. Total Choice Plus gives you thirty more channels for a total of one-hundred and eighty-five channels and this will also require the Hughes Executive receiver.

The Total Choice Premier package is their super-sized programming package with two-hundred and fifty channels and this one comes with all of their premium sports channels. If you want to add on their high definition package you will be using one of two choices of Hughes high definition receivers.

There is one with DVR or DVR Powered by TiVo and one without and the Hughes executive receiver is also available with DVR and DVR Powered by TiVo. You also have the option of adding some of DirecTV’s programming options to your package such as NFL Sunday Ticket and NCAA Mega March Madness and a variety of adult programming. Contact DirecTV online to learn about all the fantastic functions that come in Hughes receivers.
