Hi , I have to make a decision between Directv and Dish Tv in san jose california.?
Question:
Thanks a lot.
Answer:
direct tv
Directv
Direct tv is better. DIRECTV typically uses a fixed 18-inch diameter dish antenna to receive its signals. Traditionally a 18×24-inch elliptical was used, however most new installations use a 18x20 antenna to receive signals from three geostationary satellite positions simultaneously. These systems are becoming more common as DIRECTV attempts to squeeze more programming onto their growing systems. DTV is now installing a dish that has five LNBs for HDTV programming and local channels in selected markets. These systems receive signals from up to 5 separate satellites in both the Ku-band and Ka-band.
As of 31 December 2006 DIRECTV had approximately 16 million customers in the U.S., 1.4 million in Latin America through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, 1.3 million through its 74% ownership ofCynthia Rossi Sky Brasil Servicos Ltda., and 1.4 million though its 41% ownership of Innova, S. de R.L. de C.V. of Mexico. 2006 revenues were US$14.76 billion.
In late July 2006, DIRECTV added several channels to their online guide that are apparently not available to viewers — these include UK-based Sky Sports One, Sky One and Sky News. The three are channels that are generally available to satellite television viewers in the United Kingdom, though Sky News has been made available in other countries internationally.
