I'm writing this review for people like me, people who just tend to be a little skeptical about the stuff that gets rave reviews from absolutely everybody. As you scan through the list of review titles on this topic, you may surmise that a bunch...

Pros: Great programming easy to setup with professional assitance.
Cons: You need a direct view of southern sky. Storms cut of programming.

This system has to be one of the best satellite systems out on the market.Please note I don't own this system but I know about it from seeing it used at differnt places. Also I am not affilated with Direct T.V. Please don't hold me liable if the info...

Pros: picture quality, channel selections, music channels, pay per view options, sports packages,
Cons: installation, loss of local channels.

When my wife and I first moved into our house, we naturally assume that we would use the cable system provided by our local carrier. When we looked into the price and how many channels we actually received, we decided to see what satelite TV could...

Pros: So much to choose from, get great picture and sound.
Cons: bad weather can block out the signal

We got the Hughes directv satellite dish and receiver because I got sick and tired of our cable company (Mediacom) always jacking up the price and giving us stupid channels that I don't think anyone would watch. I went to the yellow pages in our local...

Pros: Much cheaper than cable, wider selection of channels
Cons: Lack Of Local channels

When the price of regular basic cable in my town started to approach $50 a month, I knew I had to do something. I had always seen satellite ads and had friends with "the dish" but for some reason was always a bit leery. I would flirt with it and let ...

Pros: The best TV money can buy.
Cons: If you don't go with the best package, you may as well stay with cable.

I've had my Hughes Direct TV system now for about two years. I purchased it off ubid.com for $9 + $30 shipping, I know, great deal.

Anyway, I installed it myself, as I'm pretty handy and have been in TV bliss ever since. Let me explain why.......

Pros: Low Cost, Tons of Channels
Cons: Hard to get support, two TVs costs extra.

If you're debating whether to get a sattelite or not, debate no longer.

I couldn't see myself spending more for TV than I was. I was up to $52 a month, and just after I cancelled cable it would have gone to $55. This was without any premium...

Pros: lots of channels
Cons: hard to install if you dont know what your doing

We bought our DirectTV satellite becuase we were sick of the run around we were getting from our cable company, they were calling us every three to six months wanting to change our equipment becuase of one reason or the next, always wanting us to upgrade...

Pros: Speedvision, lower monthly cost than cable
Cons: Awful tech support

** Jan 2002 Update **

Two years later and I'm still using the same receiver. It's been absolutely trouble free. A great product!

** Original Review **

This is my first experience with DSS, I just signed up on Dec 31,...

Pros: Graphic channel Guide, Fav. list,
Cons: The same as every other sat sys. Multiple dishes for multiple TV's

Haven't heard of the name Hughes? So you're gettin the RCA, Because they make TV's. Well, Hughes makes the satellite systems that Direct TV is broadcast on. They Knew that the average consumer didn't know their name so they signed a contract letting RCA...

Pros: love it so far great reception
Cons: na yet

We received the Hughes Satellite for Christmas from our kids. It was a wonderful gift and we really are enjoying it alot. Our reception is great and have had very few problems. Installing it was fairly easy for us .

The installation took us...

Pros: Easy to install, flawless operation, smooth design
Cons: Cost of professional installation is too high

I recieved this satellite system as a gift...Unfortunately I am not a handy man type so I had it installed professionally. It took about 15 minute to have installed and was operational in another 5. It was the easiest thing in the world to operate and...

Pros: So many things to watch. Great picture and sound.
Cons: Customer service. You can't get it installed on time

Our Cable company decided that they wanted to go Digital and that the price was going to go up to around $53 a month for just basic service.

So we decided to go with Directv it was cheaper then cable. I brought the Hughes Network from...

Pros: More channels for less money
Cons: a storm can disrupt the signal

Okay, here's the real deal. The dish is good, but at $129, you're getting robbed. Sure, you could go to any electronics shop and pick it up for that price. I'm not an affiliate for Blockbuster Video at all, but the honest truth is, you can get a...

Pros: This is a very reliable system in every aspect
Cons: there are no "cons" with this system

I am a professional installer and this system will please even the picky of satellite consumers. The Hughes SYS-D2532 (also known as a gold dual system) has even more features than it's counterparts D-1131 and D-1132 for more options in your home theater...
