If you're debating whether to get a sattelite or not, debate no longer.

DirecTv is tops in my household. We've had the system about a year and are pleased as punch with it. There are no surprise fees, no hassles, no interrupted programming unlike the local cable system which we were using before who would always raise the...

Pros: Digital Picture and Sound, Local Channels
Cons: Each TV requires a receiver if watching different channels at the same time

Hughes is by far the best Directv system on the market. The only problem is that they are hard to find in places like Best Buy and Circuit City. Look on the internet, that is where I found the D2532. The D2532 model is far superior to any other Directv...

Pros: Easy to install, flawless operation, smooth design
Cons: Cost of professional installation is too high

I recieved this satellite system as a gift...Unfortunately I am not a handy man type so I had it installed professionally. It took about 15 minute to have installed and was operational in another 5. It was the easiest thing in the world to operate and...

Pros: This is a very reliable system in every aspect
Cons: there are no "cons" with this system

I am a professional installer and this system will please even the picky of satellite consumers. The Hughes SYS-D2532 (also known as a gold dual system) has even more features than it's counterparts D-1131 and D-1132 for more options in your home theater...

Pros: Graphic channel Guide, Fav. list,
Cons: The same as every other sat sys. Multiple dishes for multiple TV's

Pros: Outstanding picture quality and sound. Great channel lineup. Priced cheaper than cable.
Cons: Getting used to the new channel numbers, 200 through 900.

The directv satelite system is definitely worth your consideration. I was fed up with high cable bills, poor picture quality and frequent outages. I now pay $10 less per month and receive more channels with much better picture quality and sound. I have...

Pros: picture quality, channel selections, music channels, pay per view options, sports packages,
Cons: installation, loss of local channels.

When my wife and I first moved into our house, we naturally assume that we would use the cable system provided by our local carrier. When we looked into the price and how many channels we actually received, we decided to see what satelite TV could...

Pros: Cost effective, NFL ticket, pay-per-view movies.
Cons: Weater disruptions.
