Pros: Easy to use, better service than cable. Cons: None
As a longtime subscriber to satellite TV (Prime Star) I have always tried to stay on top of the developments in the Satellite services sector. I must say after converting to the Direct TV platform and now the Direct PC service as well, I can firmly say...

Pros: So many channels to choose from Cons: Sometimes you still can't find nothing to watch

Pros: crystal clear "I Love Lucy" Cons: menu is too slow
The Digital Satellite System (DSS) is truly amazing. "A puny 9 inch dish is supposed to get a clear digital signal from some satellite orbiting a million miles above the Earth?" That's what I thought.
But it's so easy to set up,...

Pros: lots of channels Cons: commitment
If there's one tricky thing about satellite dishes, it's the crazy prices dealers are offering everywhere on the internet, especially at auction sucking in new buyers by offering dishes for $1. So you think: "Hmmm...I can finally afford a Satellite...

Pros: low price compared to cable, you get more programming than with cable Cons: you can't get local channels without a seperate antenna
We bought the Direct TV satellite system because they bought out Primestar. I was a bit skeptical at first because I thought that nothing could ever compare to the service we had with the Primestar system. I was definately wrong.
You can...

Pros: Great Price and Better selection of channels Cons: Sometimes gets fuzzy in bad weather.
I love my Direct TV. I get 4 times the channels I had on cable for half the price. The installation was easy and it took no time before I was watching it. I wouldn't give it up for nothing. The price was great and I can't beat it. I love the all day...

Pros: More channels Cons: no local channels, same features as cable for more
I don't think half of these people saying Direct TV is better than Cable has had the full package Time Warner has to offer. If they did I don' think they would be saying this. Why do think I'm saying this?
FIRST REASON: Cable is much...

Pros: Many Channels Cons: Tends to freeze
This has it's ups and downs. I love all the channels that you get. How you East and West channels, so if you miss a show most of the time it will be on 3 hours later. The picture is a lot clearer for regular channels even if your have an antenna. And...

Pros: Excellent choice of channels, available where cable is not Cons: Horrendous customer service and technical service, rain fade
My husband and I purchased an RCA receiver in order to get DirecTV, because it sounded it as though it would provide a much larger variety of channels than cable does. And we have never had any problems with the receiver. However, DirecTV has been...

Pros: Great Tech Support, tons of channels, large remote Cons: Terrible quality of products, so-so warrenty
Is it my bad luck, or maybe it is that Ellars curse. But what ever it is, it does wonders to my RCA Receiver. I had another model of this receiver for about three months until something let go in it. Well, because of RCA's stupid warranty deal(which I...

Pros: Cheap, Great Quality Cons: Have to use antenae for local stations
This is the best value in home television you can get. The picture is always crisp, clear, and a lot better than the alternative, "digital" cable. The system comes with a dish and one reciever, but with a cable splitter, a long cable, and a...

After hearing all my family members talking about how great it is to have a satellite dish, I said to myself, I had to buy one. I bought my dish over the telephone after reading an ad in the newspaper. I paid approximately $100. The satellite dish...
