A Commitment to Quality Programming
Sports fans around the country continue to select Direct TV for their television and entertainment services, and not only because of the wonderful menu of programming options, but also because they are a major provider of comprehensive sports coverage. They broadcast more national, international and regional sporting events than any other service and make a large number of specialized “subscription” packages available as well.
For example, NASCAR fans can select the “Hot Pass” programming option and actually ride in the five top cars during the race day. This Direct TV exclusive also lets them tune into the driver’s radios and hear what their next moves or car troubles may be! Alternately, fans of the famous English sport of Cricket can gain live access to all of the international matches occurring from England to Sri Lanka.
Of course a majority of homes are now in possession of High Definition equipment, and Direct TV offers the largest number of channels anywhere, more than 150 in fact. Their offerings include sports networks, channels and local as well as national stations. This means the widest coverage of sports in the best format possible.
Another feature which is very popular with sporting fans is the Direct TV exclusive “Sports Pack” option that provides access to over thirty channels of sporting news, gaming and entertainment. The channels cover almost any sort of sport or athletic activities imaginable, from around the country and the globe. Additionally, the “Sports Mix” interactive feature exclusive to Direct TV packages is like a fan’s dream come true. Viewers can take in eight channels of live sporting events, news and information all on one screen.
Direct TV truly understands just how passionate sports fans can be, and has also created a new feature to help their customers locate games that are “blacked out”. Many sporting events will often have national, network or regional blackouts applied as a way of protecting rights holders such as sports leagues or teams and television stations. While this is perfectly legal and completely understandable, it is unbelievably frustrating to a dedicated fan tuning into watch their favorite teams compete. The Direct TV exclusive “GameSearch” feature automatically detects blackout conditions and seeks the entire network and upcoming schedules to locate the game elsewhere. This means no more missed games or frustrations.
Additionally, Direct TV makes DVR (Digital Video Recorder) equipment available to both traditional and HD customers and those with the GameSearch software will be able to automatically link their DVR to the program. Once a game is determined to be a blackout situation, the software locates it and automatically sets the DVR to record the game or event.
Interestingly, Direct TV makes such a service entirely free of charge for its current customers. This means that dedicated sports fans have a real friend in their Direct TV equipment.
Direct TV has a nationwide reputation as the provider of the widest range of high definition entertainment, educational and sporting programs. The company is constantly at work expanding technologies and equipment, including its two newest satellites, adding many more channel and network selections and using innovation to meet customer’s viewing needs.
