So many times in life one business or service provider makes claims that they have, or can do something that sets them apart from all their competitors. Upon closer inspection though, their claims turn out to be false, or blown out of proportion and what they have is pretty much what all their competitors have.

The TV programming business is full of these types of claims and it can be hard to sort them all out due to the number of channels and choices in programming packages amongst so many other things. Some of these claims can be down right ridicules.

Cable service providers often claim that satellite service is vulnerable to atmospheric disturbances, such as rain storms and that you will therefore get more reliable service from a cable service provider. The crazy truth is that cable service providers use satellites to transmit their programming, before it is transferred into cables for delivery to their unfortunate customers.

Cable service providers also have a documented higher rate of service outages than satellite service providers do. This is just one of the many baseless and backwards claims that cable service companies throw out there from time to time, as part of the smoke and mirrors policy that they use when comparing their service to that of satellite service providers.

Facts are so important when making any comparisons between TV programming service providers. DirecTV is the all time leader in sports programming and this is a documented fact that can be backed up with actual numbers.

They have a full twenty-five channels of programming that are devoted exclusively to sports and no other programming service provider can come close to those numbers. They could have stopped there, because this alone puts them in the top spot in sports, in the vast field of programming service providers but they didnt.

DirecTV sought out and secured exclusive sports programming deals, that give them sole broadcasting rights to special sports programming channels. You have to pay a little extra for these channels and they dont come with standard programming packages, because they have to be added on but they carry all the special sports events that make sports so exciting.

DirecTV sports programming is devoted to a wide variety of sports and if you are a true sports fanatic you can really appreciate this. Twenty-five channels of sports is a lot of sports channels to surf through and they go on twenty-four hours a day seven days a week.

With all these channels and the exclusive channels you are assured that you are in the right hands with DirecTV for sports programming and if there is any event out there that is being broadcasted, you can rest assured that you are going to have access to it.

So dont take any chances that you dont have to with your sports programming and risk coming up short and being cut out of a special event, or any other event for that matter. If you are into sports, then go with the unchallenged leader in sports programming, that has the actual numbers to back up their claim.
