Many people wrongly assume that if they switch over from cable or standard TV service to satellite TV service that they will have to buy a complete satellite TV system, or at least part of it, or some type of hardware. They couldn't be more wrong, because times have changed now that DirecTV and Dish Network are the top two satellite TV service providers. You don't need to buy so much as a thumb tack when you go with either of these two giants of the programming industry, because they give you everything for free and that's not all either.

Just wait until you see all that they are going to give you and do for you when you join either one of their families of TV viewers. To start with they give you the complete system and with Dish Network it's one of their state of the art VIP satellite systems while ate DirecTV you get a top of the line Hughes satellite TV system. Both of these systems come with your choice of receivers that are loaded down heavy with easy to use one touch functions that allow you to do so much more with the great programming that you will be watching.

Both of their brands of receivers come with digital video recording capabilities if you want them to and these easy to understand and use DVRs have a full one-hundred hours of memory in them that will store well over four days of recordings. Their high definition DVR receivers will even hold well over five days of recording time in their memories and that's a lot of movies and programming to record and watch.

Both DirecTV and Dish Network will also give you free installation and wiring, in up to four rooms in you house and if you are currently a cable service subscriber you will appreciate that, because some cable companies are still charging their hapless new customers for their installation and wiring.

They both have the same policies if you want to receive satellite TV programming on more than one TV in your home and that is that they give you all the receivers for free, for up to four extra TVs and still with no installation charge. They both also give you free Sirius satellite radio programming with their programming packages and Dish Network even gives you free satellite radio for your car or truck.

This is Sirius satellite radio and the radio programming that cable services provide doesn't hold a candle to this. You can even listen to the new uncensored Howard Stern Show on Sirius satellite radio because that is the only place that he can be heard now. What's more is that DirecTV even throws in a free digital camera with their introductory deal so you can take a picture of yourself with the big smile you are going to be wearing when you first click on your TV to satellite TV programming. It's a super sweet deal no matter which satellite TV service provider that you choose and you can find out more details on these great deals by contacting either on of these programming industry leaders online.
