Pros: Great value and picture, easy setup, 32 bit processor
Cons: Cheap remote, menus a little contrived

I have been putting off buying a satellite for awhile now. When I first moved into my new place I decided to start with cable just because it was easier and I thought it was cheaper. What a waste of a $40 install charge! Just a couple of weeks ago I...

Pros: Digital Quality Picture, less $ than cable for what you get
Cons: Windy Days

I bought my RCA Direct TV Satellite System back in January and will not go back to cable unless I have to live on the North side of a mountain. Well that’s a restriction. You need an un-obstructed view of the sky over Mexico. I live in Florida so I...

Pros: Cheaper than cable, better selection
Cons: To many ads from DirecTV, bad weather reception

I'm known for being cheap, or in another words frugal. I can make Lincoln squeal. After living in my house for 14 years, and not having cable ever hooked up, I bought a system on sale for $50 bucks.

Anxious to see how the thing worked, I...

Pros: Great picture, rearely goes down, affordable price

When considering DirecTV, there are several things to consider:

Programming offered:...

Pros: Great video, cheaper compared to cable, easy installation, and great customer service.

Pros: great quality, lots of channels, great service
Cons: pricey, not always something to watch

Don't let my title to this opinion mislead you, I absolutely love this satelite system. My boyfriend purchased this system for his home about a month ago, and since then I just love watching tv at his house.

We installed the system...

Pros: Large variety of channels
Cons: none that I know of

I had been a cable TV subscriber for over 15 years and was really getting very discouraged with their service and programming choices.

First of all, the Cable "goes out" at least 4 times a week and more than that in the spring with...

Pros: a good system

I believe we got a really great deal on our RCA direct t.v. dish and installation kit. It was 49.99 for the whole thing! The option was also to receive the entire movie package,($80), free for 2 months for signing up for the 29.99 package!
The...

Pros: more for your buck
Cons: storm interference

We purchased our satellite system over a year ago and I truly love it. The reason we purchased one is because we were not getting very many channels with local cable and paying almost $50 a month. Our bill is higher now, $64 a month, but we get so many...

Pros: Easy installation, easy to use guide, superior picture and sound clarity.
Cons: As with any satellite system, there is no access to local channels.

I called our local cable company to notify them of problems we were having with our cable reception. "Yes we'll fix it" they said. Then I asked "when?" There was a long silence on the other end. "There are a lot of people...
