(ARA) - Tired of the fuzzy picture on your TV screen? Or the cable going out at the most inopportune moment? Satellite may have seemed more costly upfront when it first surfaced, but these days it can be a better value than cable and just makes sense especially when you consider the HD factor.

Cable TV has been around so long now. You know exactly what you're getting; it's the old stand by. But you may not like what you get, or feel like you have a choice about what you get. Now you do and it's just as easy, too.

Satellite TV, such as DIRECTV, gives you a TV viewing experience in a whole new dimension. While cable is known to go down for the same reasons as your electricity does, satellites don't get blown out of orbit. You don't have to worry about not having service on the day of the big game or missing the grand finale of your favorite show.

Satellite offers family friendly viewing with channels like Disney and Discovery, and with parental controls in place for the channels and shows you don't want your kids to watch. And now that the technology has been around for a while, it's very user- friendly.

"Satellite TV was once considered out of reach for most consumers," says Patrick Hudgin, president of Expert Satellite. "The usability of the technology, ease of delivery and installation are so simple now; people don't realize how accessible it is or how much better it is. And most times, it's a much better value than cable. Especially with programming packages starting at only $29.99 a month."

Add no upfront costs, no equipment to buy, free installation and customer service 24/7 through DIRECTV, and you have a really sweet deal.

No equipment to buy? In most standard set-ups, that's correct. If you have a High Definition TV (HDTV), choose to upgrade to a High Definition Receiver so you get the clear, crisp picture and sound to use your HDTV to its full capacity. Then, be sure to sign up for the HD service as well for only $9.99 per month, and you'll have the best viewing possible. And now, DIRECTV has over 90 national HD channels.
Another popular option is to get a Digital Video Recorder (DVR). It allows you to record a show you would otherwise miss. You can record two shows at once, even while watching another previously recorded show; you can pause and rewind live TV -- if you need a snack or to get the phone, and the system has a hard drive, so you can program it to record by title, actor name, or time slot. You'll never miss a game again.

DIRECTV is also currently offering a deal for new customers wherein one can save over $280 including an $18 credit per month for 12 months PLUS three free months of STARZ and SHOWTIME.

Now's the time to get rid of your old cable service and switch to satellite with DIRECTV. Pick up the phone and call (866) 848-9089 or go to www.expertsatellite.com to find out more and order today.
