DIRECTV Hardware Breakdown

There are many features available with DIRECTV that bare repeating.  It does offer some distinct advantages over regular TV as well as cable TV.  It offers a wide selection of options while discounting the price compared with most cable providers.  Furthermore, there are options offered with DIRECTV that cannot be found from any other source.  Start by considering some of the receivers of the DIRECTV Satellite system.  Receivers are what capture the signals and allow content to be played back at the viewer’s leisure.  DIRECTV as well as other manufacturers had been producing receivers, however DIRECTV now designs their own models. 

The newest standard receiver for DIRECTV is the D12 Receiver.  This receiver is offered with minimum packages.  The next receiver to consider is the HD Receiver, a special product that can receive an addition HD signal, which broadcasts in 1080i resolution, a much sharper picture than standard television.  The H21 Series is the newest model of HD receivers.  The Plus DVR receiver is a standard (non-HD) system that also has a built-in Digital Video Recorder.  This allows you to program recordings based on content, not on a timer.  With this feature you don’t have to worry about missing a program or recording on the wrong channel—common complaints about the old VCR system.  The R16-300 offers 100 hours of stored programming.  If HD is what you really want then you can order the HD-DVR receiver, which is the most advanced receiver, bringing the features of HD and DVR together.  However, the advantages continue as this receiver also features Media Share, an option that enables you to store photos and music.  The HR21 is the latest model of HD-DVR receiver.  These receivers are for “everyday consumers.”

There is also a line of receivers that offer a little something extra, called the DIRECTV Pro system.  The Pro Receiver offers both HD and DVR features, as well as a larger capacity hard drive and Media Share.  The DIRECTV Satellite-To-Go is actually a portable satellite system that brings together a receiver, an antenna and a TV set to take with you anywhere.  With these portable receiver you can sample the best entertainment even if you’re on the road at a hotel or in an RV.

Along with these receivers, there are also remote controls that can make your home theater experience more enjoyable.  The company’s Universal Remote is an infrared remote, while the Universal RF Remote offers radio frequency.  What does this mean?  Namely, that you don’t have to point the remote any more.  You can change the channels from other rooms, fast-forward scenes through fast-forward through walls and adjust volume through an entire level of floor.  (Now please, no poltergeisting friends and family during their favorite shows!) 

DIRECTV has something for everyone, whether you are looking for a wide selection of entertainment, more control over recording or just better quality resolution.  These special receivers available from Satellite DIRECTV provide much more comfort to your home theater at a price you can afford.
