HDTV, high definition television, is fast becoming the new standard in television broadcasting. HDTV provides a truly good picture quality. HD provides much more detailed and realistic images than standard analog television. Many stations are already broadcasting in HDTV with many more soon to follow. In order to view HDTV properly you need to have an HDTV ready television set. Most new sets are HDTV ready. These sets can display programs in high definition or standard definition. While you can view HDTV programming with a regular television set it won't look it's best.
HDTV broadcasts in digital format. This means that the signals are sent digitally and the viewer needs a digital converter to see the programming. Satellite converter boxes automatically provide this conversion. There seems to be a lot of confusion among customers about the digital programming and HDTV.
First, it is important to note that all HD is in digital format. However, not all digital programming is HD. Digital programming is a type of transmission format used for sending television signals. Digital programming is the most advanced method and preferred over analog signals for clarity and picture quality. The latest FCC rulings will ensure that all televisions stations will broadcast only in digital by February of 2009. This means that by 2009 you must use either a television that is digital ready or get a converter box in order to view local television programming. The easier alternative is to subscribe to satellite programming such as Direct TV.
HDTV channels are included in satellite television lineups. Direct TV provides the most extensive HD programming right now with more than 92 HD stations in 77 cities. With the addition of a new satellite that will be brought on line in September these numbers will increase to over 100 HD stations. This will continue to ensure that Direct TV remains the leading satellite provider. At the same time more and more stations are broadcasting in HD.
Technically speaking, you’ll need to upgrade your service to include HD programming. HD is provided as a digital format. You will need at least the basic digital service to receive high definition programs. Along with the HDTV subscription package you will need to include a set-top box, similar to the standard definition type you probably have currently. The box is also a DVR, digital recording receiver so that you can record programs quickly and easily. The programs are stored on the digital media making your VCR obsolete. You can also pause live television, rewind and watch two programs at the same time.
Once you have an HD television set you should upgrade your satellite subscription to include HD stations if it already doesn't. Then make sure that you choose the enhanced HD versions of the broadcast so that you can get the most from your television. Eventually all programming will be transmitted in high definition. Anyone who is considering purchasing a new television set right now should absolutely choose one that has HD capabilities. These televisions have become more reasonably priced and are widely available by all the major television brands. You can find HDTV in projection, LCD and plasma types. The new HD experience will truly change the way you watch TV.

DirectTV – New Satellites Provide More Channels
The first satellite for DIRECTTV was launched back in 1994. Since that time, this particular company has grown to the point of being the largest satellite television provider in existence. Today, it is estimated that more than 16 million people subscribe to these services, based on the 15 satellites now in space. Even better, the customer service DIRECTTV offers is considered among the best.
Once satellites are sent out into space, a DIRECTTV satellite system and television can provide businesses and consumers alike with a huge choice of programming that would not otherwise be seen. With the package offered, viewers have the chance to enjoy a free satellite dish, up to four free receivers, universal remotes, and more.
Some of the satellites launched from 2002 to late 2007 include the Boeing 702, DIRECTTV-8, and DIRECTTV-5. The Boeing 702 is a direct broadcast satellite, which means it is designed for high definition television. Launched in the summer of 2007, it currently operates in space at 102.775 degrees west longitude. However, the latest satellites completed for DIRECTTV include the Boeing, DIRECTTV-11 and DIRECTTV-12. The 11 model just launched on March of this year and the 12 model is waiting to be launched.
Both DIRECTTV-10 and DIRECTTV-11 are located together with the Spaceway 1 and 2 satellites. The Spaceway satellites were originally made for one-way broadcasting on 500 MHZ of spectrum and for two-way internet service. However, to create a more robust and enhanced connection, DIRECTTV worked closely with Boeing to come up with the new satellites now in space.
Originally, DIRECTTV-11 was going to launch back in November of 2007 by Sea Launch. However, when a failure occurred at this organization, the facility became damaged, resulting in the launch date being set for March and by a different company. The result was a perfect DIRECTTV satellite launch on the 19th at 22:47-59. Just 61 minutes after launch, the rocket carrier separated and the satellite was successfully sent into space where it could provide signals needed for high definition television.
Because every television will have to be high definition compatible by 2009, it is likely that more satellites will launch to keep up with high demand from DIRECTTV business and home subscribers. It is also likely that the quality and abilities of these satellites will be even greater than the satellites currently being used. The exciting thing is that DIRECTTV has stayed on top of the program and competition by providing an exceptional product. Today, millions of people have hundreds of new programs, all with absolute clarity and outstanding sound because of high definition. While some bugs will need to be worked out, DIRECTTV offers programming that has changed the way in which people watch television.

Did You Ever Play Twenty Questions?
Did you ever play the game twenty questions? Well, I did the other day after a visit to a nursing home to visit a friend who was recuperating from an accident.
The twenty question game I played was what kind of business could benefit from having DirecTV and the sports packages because of course I hate to miss a good game or any game for that matter.
The first business that I thought would do well having satellite tv is the gym, who wants to work out watching other people sweat?
Then there is the auto dealer, every time I go to the dealer to look at a new car and have the family with me the children get bored, they start misbehaving and then its take them home or else.
What about the office how great would that be, not for sports but to know what is going on in the business world all the time, the stock market reports, the latest news it could actually make people more productive because they do know what is going on in the world.
This might not be the usual game of twenty questions but it is something to think about because there are a lot of businesses that do not have satellite tv that could really use it to their benefit.

The Best Place For A Workout Is Also The Best Place To Catch Up
It turns out the best place to workout, which of course is the gym is also the best place to catch up on news and sports if the gym has satellite tv.
A friend was telling me about the gym that he goes to and how while he is working out he wears his head set that ends up getting in the way. He listens to music and he said then he has to rush to the office to try and catch the latest news and stock reports.
At first I could not understand this because at the gym I workout at has satellite tv with DirecTV making it easy to catch up while I work out. Then it hit me he does not go to the same gym; he has a membership some place else.
After I told him that the place I am a member has a DirecTV package he decided that he should change gyms so he doesn’t have to rush his morning workout so he can see the news.
This is such a simple thing for a business whether it is a gym, fitness center or even offices to have the news available on satellite tv for the members that work out there and at the office what better way for employees to stay on top of news and stock market prices.

What Brings Customers Into A Business?
As a business owner there are times when you visit another business and the place is loaded with customers and they are all enjoying themselves. It does not matter if the business is a restaurant, a health club or even a nursing home.
One thing that you can usually find there is a television with something on besides the local channels. That means they have satellite TV and the provider that wins hands down is DirecTV because of their business packages and their HD programming.
This is what draws people to certain places, when someone goes out they like to be entertained they have no intention of going out to be bored. They want to be entertained and be with other people that like the same type of entertainment, otherwise they could stay home.
There are so many businesses that can benefit from having a television provider like DirecTV business with the packages that they have any type of business will attract more customers when they can entertain the customer. Even the auto dealership can benefit, if the children of a potential customer are entertained that means the customer is going to stay longer and that means a potential sale. The auto dealer without a DriecTV business package leaves the salesperson at the mercy of these children who will become bored and cranky wanting to be taken home.
