DirecTV has only one exclusive brand of satellite TV systems and components that they carry and that name is Hughes. Hughes is name brand top of the line satellite systems and components and this is just one of the many things that separate DirecTV from all of the other TV programming service providers.

While other service provider have chosen to provide their customers with the cheapest satellite systems that they could obtain in mass from overseas manufacturers, DirecTV has chosen to go with the well recognized Hughes reputation for quality and reliability. Every satellite TV programming service provider is going to give you a free satellite system when you sign on to an extended programming agreement now and the satellite TV system is yours to keep and own, just the same as if you had bought it.

This might seem like a fantastic deal on the surface, but if it is cheap electronics equipment that is prone to malfunction, then it not such a great deal after all. Once the limited warranty wears off then it is your baby to repair or replace and if you do neither, then you are stuck paying for a programming package that you can’t watch.

Going with the recognized Hughes name assures you that your system and receiver or receivers are going to be there for you for years to come. DirecTV’s base model no frills receiver that comes with their entry level programming package is called the Hughes Director. It is a high quality Hughes receiver, but it doesn’t have all the features that come on other Hughes receivers that DirecTV carries.

If you have an entry level programming package, you won’t need the custom menu feature or the programming search feature as well. One other feature option that the Hughes Director doesn’t have is DVR but you can get that on the next level up in Hughes receivers and there is no service charge for upgrading you receiver at any time.

The Hughes Executive model receiver is the next level up and it is equipped to handle programming packages with hundreds of channel options. The Executive model receiver comes loaded with great features and also has the option of Standard DVR or DVR Powered by TiVo. With DVR Powered by TiVo, instant slow motion replays are right at your finger tips. This is a fantastic feature for sports enthusiasts and TV also allows you to zip right past any annoying commercials that come on during your games.

With TiVo you also can stop any game or program and then restart it right where it left off when you return to your TV. The DVR in the Executive model receiver holds a full one-hundred hours of recording time and that adds up to be well over four solid days

DirecTV gives you the choice of two high definition Hughes receivers. One of them is a basic model just like the Hughes Director only its high definition. The other high definition receiver is just like the Hughes Executive model receiver and has all of the same features and options. They both receive both standard and high definition programming and it also holds a total of one-hundred and twenty-five hours of recoded programming.

Now days just about every TV programming service provider has some sort of promotional package that they use to entice now customers into joining up with them, when they are selecting who to sign up with. It’s something that they all have been doing for some time now and it doesn’t look like it is something that they are going to stop doing in the near future, so it is something that you might consider comparing when you are making your selection as to which service provider you are going to use.

After examining all of the assorted promotional goodies that they all have to offer, it was determined that DirecTV has one of the best deals out there for you. This is mainly because they give you a free digital camera along with everything else that they give you. Dish Network and DirecTV both give you free Sirius satellite radio with their programming packages now and Dish Network also give you Sirius satellite radio for your car or truck.

If you are the owner of an RV then you may favor Dish Network for this alone, because they now have a satellite TV system that is just for RVs called Mobile Dish and it will pick up satellite TV programming while it is traveling down the road. Both Dish Network and DirecTV give you a free satellite TV system when you join either one of them, but you must sign an extended TV programming agreement to get it. It’s a great deal though, because after examining their programming selections, it was found that they both have possibly the lowest over all cost per channel available anywhere.

They both also give you free installation in up to four rooms in you home or business and will give you all the receivers that you need to get up to four TVs hooked up to satellite TV programming, also everything that they give you is yours to own and its all top quality equipment. DirecTV gives you your choice of several models of receivers that they carry as does Dish Network, but there are some differences in what each one can provide for you.

DirecTV has DVR Powered by TiVo as one of the feature options that they give you for your receiver, because they specialize in sports programming but they charge you for your high definition receiver if you opt for high definition TV programming. Dish Network doesn’t have DVR Powered by TiVo as one of their feature options, but they give your high definition receiver. This is because Dish Network specializes in premium movie programming.

So in final analysis it was determined that the digital camera is a nice promotional item that sets DirecTV apart from all of the other TV programming service providers promotional free bees, but if you are primarily interested in high definition movie programming you may want to opt for the free high definition satellite TV receiver from Dish Network. You can find out more about TV programming service promotional packages by contacting DirecTV or Dish Network online.
