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...

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: If you're a sports fan, you probably can't do better. Cons: No Star Trek Enterprise, Poor user interface, constant black-outs
I had Time Warner Digital Cable in my old building and my new building only offers DirecTV. Initially I thought this was a great thing - hundreds of channels, more so than Time Warner Digital Cable. But now I see the problems after a month of usage....

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...
