Go ahead and type in you ZIP code and we’ll show you all of the best Cable TV providers in your area so you can get started.

Just like with Internet providers, there’s different types of Cable TV providers available in different areas. Cable TV is usually available in 3 ways: wired, satellite, or streaming online. A wired cable connection gives you all of the channels you love by using Fiber-Optic cables that run through the ground. A wired connection is a good choice for basic viewing and getting started with TV. A Satellite TV connection is great for people who live in more rural areas and can’t get access to Cable lines. Satellite TV is also an amazing option in metropolitan and suburban areas because of its huge channel selections and competitive pricing available. We would highly recommend DIRECTV as one of the best Satellite TV options in most areas of the country. Another option for TV access is through online streaming. TV streaming is becoming more and more popular due to the popularity of streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and Youtube TV. Many of the most common TV providers now offer streaming services included with their packages.

What is Satellite TV?

Satellite television (satellite TV) is a special kind of broadcast delivery method that is based on using satellites in space to deliver signals. Satellite TV companies make use of satellites up in the Earth’s atmosphere by sending a signal up to the satellite and delivering the Satellite signal to customers by sending signals to a satellite dish located somewhere on or nearby the area of service. Satellite TV generally provides better viewing quality when compared to Cable TV. The downside to Satellite TV is that the signal could be disrupted at times if there’s heavy rain, snow, or any other disruptions to the Satellite signal. We would recommend using Satellite TV as a TV provider option if it is available in your area.
 

Who is the best Satellite TV provider?

 
We would recommend DIRECTV as being one of the best and more popular Satellite TV providers available in most areas of the nation due to the high amount of TV channels and free perks included with most DIRECTV plans such as a free NFL Sunday Ticket and exclusive movie channels. DIRECTV gives you great viewing quality with some of the most popular channels as well as many options for High Definition channels for an even better viewing experience. DIRECTV is a Satellite TV provider that might not be available in every area.

What is the best DIRECTV plan?

Finding the best DIRECTV plan depends on what you’re looking for with your TV plan. DIRECTV offers 6 different plans that vary in pricing and the number of channels you’ll get. If you’re a big sports fan and want access to watch the latest live sports as well as replays, then you should consider a higher tiered DIRECTV plan such as DIRECTV CHOICE. You should also consider the number of TV channels you’d like to see in your TV listing when picking a DIRECTV plan. The lowest tiered DIRECT plan comes with 155+ channels while the highest tiered DIRECTV plan comes with 330+ channels.

All DIRECTV plans come with 3 months of free premium channels which include HBO, Starz, Cinemax, and more.. Check the availability of DIRECTV plans in your area to get started today.
 

What is an HD (High Definition) Channel?

 
In order to enjoy HD channels you’ll need to make sure your TV is an HDTV (High Definition TV). HDTV is a newer form of television broadcasting which broadcasts video digitally (in contrast to some of the older and more common analog formats like PAL, NTSC, and SECAM). HDTV’s have a much higher resolution at 1280×720 pixels or 1920×1080 compared to analog sets which have 720×480 pixels. Because of this HDTV’s can display HD channels with images that contain far more detail, higher overall picture color, better clarity, and better sharpness when compared to traditional TVs and TV channels. If you’d like to access HD channels we’d recommend DIRECTV as one of the best providers with over 200 full time HD channels.
 

How do I get more TV channels?

 
If you’re already an existing Cable TV customer we would recommend calling one of our agents and we’ll help you find out if you’re able to get access to more TV channels.

How do I get premium TV channels?

Premium TV channels are available exclusively with each TV plan. These are channels that aren’t usually included free with the TV package and might cost extra to access them in your TV listing. Premium channels can include exclusive movie channels such as HBO, Cinemax, Starz, and others. Premium channels also include exclusive sports channels such as the NFL SUNDAY ticket, ESPN2, and more. DIRECTV offers plans with premium channels included for free in the first 3 months of service.

What is 4K TV?

4K television, also known as Ultra HD, is the highest type of video quality available today for most consumers. In order to enjoy 4K video you’ll need to have a TV that can support 4K video quality. The 4K TV is an emerging technology that has a resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 pixels, and a total of 8 million pixels. That’s about four times the number of what Full HD can provide (1,920 x 1,080). 4K TV is a great fit for larger TV’s and is also known as Ultra HD or UHD. The additional resolution of 4K TV will provide you with more color resolution and depth to the picture, and will render the images to make them seem much more life-like. With a 4K TV you’ll be able to enjoy all of your favorite shows and TV channels with the best quality. Coupling a 4K TV with your new Cable TV service provider makes a lot of sense since it will greatly improve your viewing experience for all of the new TV channels you’ll get access to!
 

What is Pay-Per-View?

If you’re ordering DIRECTV there’s a good chance you’ll have Pay-Per-View included with your plan, or you would have the option to order it on top of your DIRECTV package as an additional extra. With this feature you’ll have the option to order Pay-Per-View movies, shows, and sporting events any time you want. Pay-Per-View (PPV) means exactly what it sounds like. When you add PPV to your DIRECTV package, you’ll have the ability to watch some of the latest blockbuster movies and live sporting events on a pay per view basis. This means that you would pay for each individual broadcast on that specific channel viewing. Typically you’ll see pricing information on the Pay Per View channel before you click to begin the show so you can decide if it’s a worthwhile show or not. Pay-Per-View is convenient in many cases because you only pay for the specific show when you purchase it and you’ll get access to that show on a pay-per-use basis.

Check out our DIRECTV plans or give us a call to learn more about adding Pay-Per-View to your DIRECTV package

What is On-Demand TV?

On-Demand (also known as VOD or Video On Demand) allows viewers to watch shows and movies at any preferred scheduled time of the day. With On-Demand, viewers have the option to pause, resume, fast-forward, rewind, and re-watch any movie or TV show at any time.This makes it super convenient to watch at the exact times you’d like when enjoying your On Demand shows.

Usually most TV service providers select the movies and shows available for On-Demand viewing, as well as the specific dates that the shows would be available to view. Most TV service providers also restrict how much time a show would be available to a customer after the initial viewing of the show, for example a TV provider would set a 12-hour window after the conclusion of the show to restrict the viewer from watching an unlimited amount of time. On Demand TV is available from some of the most popular TV providers such as DIRECTV. Call our experts to learn more about On Demand TV.

How do On-Demand shows work?

TV providers offer a specific set of On-Demand TV shows and movies available to viewers to choose from. In your TV menu you can find an “On-Demand” button that will take you to a list of available On-Demand movies and TV shows to pick. Once you select which show you’d like to view you’ll have the option to play and pause the show or schedule it for anytime in the future if you’re interested in planning a movie night with your family! The On-Demand feature is available only for the specific list of shows and movies found in the “On-Demand” section of your TV guide and is accessible at any time. On-Demand shows are a very nice feature that offers flexibility for viewers who enjoy watching their favorite movies and TV shows at their own schedule.
