Hughes Satellite Systems and Components from DirecTV

By: David Johnson

All satellite TV service providers are going to give you afree satellite TV system when you sign an extended service agreement with them.They are able to do this now, because the cost of satellite TV systems andcomponents has fallen drastically as have most other home electronics over thelast decade.

?They are able to buyin massive volume and then reap even more savings by doing so. Some serviceproviders even go a step further and buy cheap low quality systems andcomponents from less reputable over seas sources and there by save even moremoney. The reason these service providers aren’t overly concerned about thequality of their systems and components is, because once they pass them on toyou the customer the system is completely your responsibility, just the same asif you had bought it.

?It most often comeswith some sort of warranty, but let’s face it home electronics always give youa year or so honeymoon before they begin to fall apart or malfunction and onceit does you have to have it repaired or replaced. DirecTV stocks Hughessatellite TV systems and components exclusively and Hughes is a name that isrecognized world wide as being synonymous with quality built satellite TVsystems.

?The quality in Hughesreceivers is readily apparent when you first lay eyes on the solid and heftystylishly designed low profile unit and a quick comparison with other receiverswill verify that they are a far better unit. Satellite receivers and particularlyhigh definition receivers with DVR capabilities are very complex pieces of homeelectronics equipment much like a personal computer.

?The more features andfunctions that there are in them, the more things that there are that canmalfunction, so it is in your best interest to not accept a lower quality unit.The basic model of Hughes receiver that DirecTV carries is their HughesDirector receiver and it will come free of charge with their base leveleconomically priced programming package.

DirecTV’s Family Choice package has forty assortedprogramming channels, so the Director doesn’t have all the features that arenecessary for managing the hundreds of channels in DirecTV’s more channel ladenpackages. The Director is a solid and simple to operate unit that will stand upto constant use for years and years and there are no moving parts in Hughesreceivers, so there is nothing to wear out.

?The Hughes Executivemodel receiver is the next level up and if you upgrade from DirecTV’sintroductory programming package you also get an Executive receiver upgradefree of charge also. This receiver is loaded with features and functions andalso has some great feature options that you can choose from including DVR andDVR Powered by TiVo.

?Custom menu,programming search and parental control are just a few of the features thatthis receiver has in it. DirecTV also has your choice of two Hughes highdefinition receivers and on is a basic model similar to the Director while theother is similar to the Executive except that it is high definition.?
