DIRECTV Services and Information
Satellite Dish Installation
The DIRECTV satellite dish installation is a simple process. For single unit homeowners, as long as you have clear line of sight to the southern sky, the local installer will place and secure the satellite in an appropriate place. For the residents of apartment buildings, condos, or multi-unit buildings, the dish can be placed and secured on the roof or on your patio, balcony, or other suitable locations. You can ask your landlord about where you can place the dish. The most important consideration is that the dish is secured on a location with a clear view of the southern sky. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ruled that prohibits local government and landlords from putting unreasonable restrictions on installing satellite dishes that are less than one meter in size. You can ask your courteous customer representative about your options at 1-866-320-5002.

My Personal Experience between DIRECTV and Cable TV
I live in Southern California and used to have Adelphia cable television services. After days, months and years of disappointing customer service and expensive monthly fees, my wife and I decided to switch to DIRECTV.
I picked up the phone and I was greeted with very polite customer service representative. After being greeted professionally, I asked her about how I can save money with DIRECTV. The representative started with the benefits of each subscription package and the advantages of having DIRECTV. What would have been very confusing with the old cable service provider was made very simple and easy with DIRECTV. I can tell that the representative was well educated and she knew all the details of what she was offering.
When I had asked about HD (High Definition) TV, the representative went into full length with great explanations on the promotional packages on the channels and equipment choices. It depends on what your package is but you can get the following to save lots of money with DIRECTV: Free 3 months of HD service, Free HD DVR upgrade, Free Premium Channels (HBO, SHOWTIME, and STARZ), Free Installation up to 4 rooms, Free Satellite dishes and installation.
From paying over $100/mo with cable tv services, I have reduced my payment to less than $40/mo. The customer services was great and there were absolutely no start up costs, not to mention the great digital picture quality. If you still have cable services, you need to change to DIRECTV and experience the best digital home entertainment offered by DIRECTV. Start saving money, but you will get more with DIRECTV. You can start saving now by calling 1-866-320-5002.
