Not long ago, I was sitting with some friends in the cafeteria at work. Conversation drifted aimlessly from one topic to another until Grant, one of the guys in electronics, brought up the subject of high definition television and asked how many of us had it. Of the six people sitting there, four of us chimed in our ownership of HD programming. Grant said sales of HDTVs were significantly higher this year than the same time last year.

It didn’t surprise me to hear that. HDTV is just about the hottest piece of TV technology to come our way in quite awhile and it’s true when they say it will revolutionize the way we watch TV. If you’ve ever wondered how we got along before without being able to pause, rewind and record live TV, you’ll be asking the same question about High Def once you’ve experienced the difference in the high resolution of an HD picture.

It really isn’t necessary for you to know or even understand the technology behind what makes it so much better than standard definition. All it takes is watching a side-by-side comparison and the difference is glaringly obvious. Of course, if technology is your thing and you’d like to learn more about what makes HD the best TV viewing available, click here for more details and information.

Direct TV has conducted their own version of these comparative studies and time after time came out the winner with people almost always choosing the Direct TV HD picture over the SD one. That doesn’t surprise me either. Ever since I stumbled across this website I’ve been a big fan of HDTV in general and Direct TV in particular. Why did I choose Direct TV over some of the many other sources available for High Def TV viewing?

1. Direct TV’s customer service is second to none. Did you know the customers who purchase their priciest high-end package are assigned their own personal customer service representative? Now that surprised me. Of course, with a price tag over seven thousand dollars a year, I suppose they’re entitled to special treatment. Still, even for average Joes like us, Direct TV is still head and shoulders above cable.

2. Direct TV currently has over 75 High Definition channels with plans already in place to add even more within the next few months. The satellite that will help them achieve that is already in space and testing is going on even as you’re reading this.

3. Direct TV is the only HD provider I know of that offers you the choice of an HD package, with pre-selected channels, or, and this is the part I love, you can add only your favorite channels in HD, one at a time.

4. Direct TV’s HD programming includes some of the best-loved, most popular channels on TV, not obscure, “who watches this stuff” kind of channels.

5. Direct TV’s HD receivers, (and you have your choice of two different models) are state of the art and offer some of the most advanced technological features in the industry.

With so many companies out there competing for our TV dollars, click here to discover what puts Direct TV head and shoulders above their competition. I think you’ll understand not only why I chose them, but why I recommend them to everyone I know.
