DirecTV only carries Hughes satellite TV systems and receivers and when you sign an extended programming service agreement with DirecTV they give you a complete top of the line Hughes satellite TV system.



It is a complete system, so you don�t need to buy anything and it also comes installed at no charge to you. DirecTV is also going to give you free installation in up to four rooms in your home or business with this entry deal and if you want to have more than one TV connected to satellite TV service they provide you with all the Hughes receivers that you need to do that and they are also free of charge.

The Hughes receivers are a great receiver and you have your choice of the five models that they carry when you sign up with DirecTV. Their base level model of Hughes receiver is called the Hughes Director and it comes with their entry level package free of charge. It has all the functions that are required for the smaller number of channels that are in their forty channel Family Choice package and it also only has a one-hundred and twenty-five channel capacity. With forty channels, you won�t need a custom menu feature or the programming search function, also this receiver does not have the DVR option with it.

The next Hughes receiver up form there is their Hughes Executive model receiver with no DVR and it has all the features that you will need to cope with the larger number of channels that come with their larger programming packages such as their one-hundred and fifty-five channel Total Choice package, or their one-hundred and eighty-five channel Total Choice Plus programming package.

The custom menu feature lets you create your own menu of your favorite channels to refer to instead of having to sort through all the channels on the main menu every time you turn on your TV. The programming search function lets you find a program by entering it in by name. Of course the parental control function allows you to control your parents when they drop by your place and pick up the remote and start clicking through the channels on your new high definition big flat screened TV.
