The United States Federal Congress has mandated by law that by
February 19, 2009 that all off-air television broadcasts must be
converted to digital form. If you are now watching TV using an off-
air antenna that receives the current analog signal that you will no
longer be able to watch TV unless the stations in your area broadcast
both an analog and a digital signal. The televisions available today
are capable of receiving both digital and analog signals. As the
analog signals begin to disappear you will still be able to watch the
channels broadcast in digital format. There should be some sort of
converter available to allow you to view the new digital signal on
your current TV set but the picture quality will be inferior to the
digital picture.

There is a solution available now. DIRECTV has been working very hard
over the past year to prepare for the conversion. They currently
offer hundreds of digital quality channels that will work with your
current TV set and offer a lower cost per month than cable TV
companies. Monthly programming packages are available for as low as
$29.99 per month. Installation is free and the equipment is leased,
costing you little or nothing to get your home ready for the change.
The DIRECTV standard TV receiver comes free with your new account and
each customer can get up to four receivers for their home. Each
receiver past the first one is an additional $5/month but allows each
TV to play independently of the others. DIRECTV is extremely easy to
use and features on on-screen programming guide that not only shows
you what is playing on the channel that you are watching but also has
information on every TV program on every available channel for days in
advance. You can even set the receiver to automatically change the
channel to a program that you have selected well in advance.
Satellite radio programming is available for you to receive commercial-
free radio broadcasts right on your TV set. The programming packages
also include hundreds of movies every month. Each DIRECTV satellite
TV receiver comes with a free universal remote control that will allow
you to operate your TV and VCR right from your chair! Spanish
language programming is also available with programming packages
stating at only $19.99/month for over 40 Spanish language channels.

For even more convenience DIRECTV offers a receiver with DVR
capability. DVR stands for Digital Video Recorder. You can record
hundreds of hours of TV programs right inside your DIRECTV DVR
receiver and skip the commercials while you play them back. You can
record one TV program while you watch another or record two TV
programs at the same time. The DVR also lets you pause and rewind
live TV! You can automatically schedule your favorite TV programs to
be recorded every day or every week and watch them on your schedule.
You'll never miss another TV program! If you like you can even save
your recorded programs to a VCR tape for storage of related programs
or to free up space on the DIRECTV DVR hard drive for new programs.
The signal is a high-quality digital signal that conforms to the new
Federal Standard. The DVR receiver is available for a $5/month DVR
fee but is currently free with a qualifying programming package.

The highest quality digital signal is the high-definition signal.
This signal raises the quality of the TV picture to a whole new
level. The level of detail is higher than ever possible before. It
works will all of the HDTV type TV sets currently being sold. DIRECTV
currently offers almost 100 high-definition channels with a goal of
150 high-definition channels by mid-2008. Cable TV will never be able
to offer more than 50 high-definition channels and require the
customer to pay extra for high-definition equipment to watch the
channels. The DIRECTV high-definition receiver is also available for
free with a qualifying purchase of high-definition programming which
is around $10/month.

DIRECTV is ready for the new Federal Standard digital signal
conversion now. The free equipment offer makes it easy for American
customers to get ready for the conversion but is available for a
limited time. The current offer expires on 12/31/2007. If you act
now DIRECTV will also throw in two premium movie channels for 3 months
for free. DIRECTV has installers working nationwide to get all of
their customers installed quickly. In most areas you can be watching
DIRECTV digital TV within 24 hours of placing your order. To order
now just call 1-800-431-1221 and give the operator promotional code
"SPECIAL1" to qualify for the best DIRECTV internet offer. Don't be
caught unprepared when the TV stations in your area convert to the new
digital signal. Get ready now.
