You're probably familiar with this situation. You're sitting comfortable in
your couch or TV chair, together with the remote, for a relaxing evening.
Pretty soon you find out that you've seen all the episodes of CSI and
Law & Order that are on every channel. What now? Should you put the
remote away? Well, not yet. Don't forget that your satellite TV provider
offers you lots of packages. So explore them! With so many channels
and options, you can always find something entertaining to watch.
Satellite TV packages are a collection of television channels that you
purchase for a flat monthly fee from a direct broadcast satellite provider.
The two main providers in the United States, Dish Network and Direct
TV, provide a wide and versatile variety of packages to meet the needs
of every viewer. Both providers offer several different packages.
The simplest is the "family package", which provides local programming,
plus a limited number of cable network channels. The selection is
focused on wholesome, family-friendly programming. These packages
don't offer a great number of sports or lifestyle channels, but do have
enough variety of programming to satisfy the average family's basic
television needs.
Next are the tier packages, with increasing numbers of channels for an
increasing flat monthly price. Dish Network offers packages with 60, 120,
and 180 channels, plus an "Everything Pak", while DirecTV's packages
have 155, 185 and 250, plus a "Titanium" everything-included package.
On top of that, both allow you to add your choice of premium movie
channels: HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, and Starz.
Packages aimed at family viewing are the least expensive, while premium
"everything-included" satellite television packages promise and deliver
platinum service with something for everyone. HDTV, satellite radio,
video-on-demand, and pay-per-view are just a few of the extra goodies
available.
Both services include dozens of satellite radio channels, in addition to
the video channels: Dish Network provides programming from Sirius
Satellite Radio, while DirecTV provides XM Satellite Radio.In addition to
the standard satellite TV and radio channels that the consumer gets
with their monthly subscription, both providers offer certain movies as
video-on-demand (VOD) selections. This means you don't have to wait
until the movie you want to watch is ready to start- frustrating even
when the movie is being played multiple times a day on a premium
network- you just go to your VOD channel, select the movie you want
and press "play" when you're ready to begin.
Dish Network and DirecTV also provide pay-per-view channels that
allow you to spend a few extra dollars to view first-run movies, or
special events like major boxing matches or broadcast rock concerts.
Dish Network's packages are a less expensive, but contain fewer
standard channelsFree Web Content, although they have a greater
selection of high definition channels. It remains to be seen whether
DirecTV's customers will continue to consider the wide selection of
channels and the noted customer service to be worth the higher price.
