Not All Satellite TV Providers Give You the Same Satellite TV Service

Sure, satellite TV is a step up from cable. But don’t settle for second-rate satellite TV service. DIRECTV gives you more of what you want from your satellite TV provider than DISH Network — from industry-leading HD to exclusive satellite TV packages!

What Does DIRECTV Have That DISH Network Doesn’t?

More households choose DIRECTV over DISH network — that’s a fact. And with DIRECTV placing ahead of DISH Network in 2011 American Customer Satisfaction Index ratings, that makes for customers happy with their satellite TV provider of choice.

More Sports — No one gives delivers more out-of-market games or more games in HD than DIRECTV, your leader in sports programming, period. Plus, DIRECTV is the exclusive home for NFL SUNDAY TICKET™, your only way to see each and every NFL game, all season long. And you won’t find NASCAR HotPass™ with any other provider, including DISH Network. Get all the action on race day, from passenger seat cameras to driver team radio broadcasts.

More HD — Enjoy nothing but flawless, satellite TV High Definition, no matter the hour on one of over 170 full-time HD channels. HD programming on DIRECTV is never subject to guess work. Know you’re getting HD, 100% of the time. DISH Network mixes and matches what you watch, with part-time and full-time HD channels. Yes, what you want to watch might be in HD with DISH Network. But whether it’s sports, movies or shows, there’s always something on — and in HD — when you choose DIRECTV as your satellite TV provider.

True Whole-Home DVR Service — When DIRECTV promises Whole-Home, you get complete control throughout your entire house, in up to 15 rooms! No matter where you start watching, just press pause and pick up right where you left off — at the touch of a button. Plus, if you start watching in HD, you’ll enjoy the same pristine HD service, no matter where you want to watch. DISH Network limits your multi-room viewing to just 2 rooms, only 1 of which gives you HD service.
