With DirecTV you will most certainly find a programming package that will not only suit your entertainment needs but will also fit in to your monthly budget. Now, of course, the next question would be: What about the cost of all the hardware like the actual satellite dish and everything else? Well, as incredible as it may sound, DirecTV now offers all of those luxurious television accessories for free. DirecTV actually offers a free satellite dish, an actual Hughes brand television set top receiver, a Digital Video Recorder, a TiVo unit, and a remote control for free! And not only will you get all of these great television accessories for free, DirecTV will actually install them for free as well. All included with the regular start up fee for joining up with DirecTV, you will get all of these great television accessories, you will get them installed for free, and you can actually have them installed in up to four separate rooms in your home for no additional charge! This means of course that you will get one of each unit necessary to set up a DirecTV satellite TV set up in any four rooms in your home. Now you can have the home theatre set up you have always wanted in your living room and a home theatre set up in three more rooms in your home for the same price!



The next important factor to consider when choosing a new television provider is the parental controls offered by that provider. DirecTV takes the welfare of your family very seriously and has developed what have been considered the best parental controls available for television from any one! It is always a worry for parents with young children that they may stumble across some unscrupulous program that is filled with raunchy or violent content that can possibly spoil part of their innocence or in some cases even traumatize a young child. It is a terrible shame that most television producers have such low standards for their television programs, allowing even the most vile content to be aired.

On cable television, unfortunately, there is very little that you can do to protect your child or children from gratuitous sex and violence that will air even on day time television from time to time. Setting up times when your children are allowed to watch cable TV in general is just not a very good idea any more. You never know what kind of content will be lurking around the corner. DirecTV offers an easy solution to this mess: user friendly parental controls that are password protected for your child's safety. With DirecTV you can actually lock out entire channels and set times that certain channels are available. This is truly a great solution to an other wise very scary and very real problem of today.
