Brenjetsfan Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 So I am in the ancient years of TV cable cause I am hardly home, but I have to get a package an I have NO CLUE what is what....lol...Sorry I didn't go to college..... SO in a blonde moment..what is what? Direct TV has a special.... WHAT is the best one to have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jets Babe Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 i would go with the plus DVR (assuming if you have an HDTV..if you don't, BUY ONE, or don't bother with dtv)...you get the free HD DVR receiver upgrade (you have to pay for your receiver so at least you get a free upgrade). DVR is amazing and so is HD. but if you want to be able to record in HD, then get the plus hd dvr package. you won't have to worry about sunday ticket assuming you get all the jets games.. BUT, if you don't, you might want to consider getting the premium pack. this does not come with DVR or HD package though...but you get the most channels and you get the sports pack.

Once you get it, you will wonder why you waited. Plus, you can get TV fairly cheap (relatively speaking). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if that is true but I am gonna start looking. If your looking for a TV and have time, keep an eye on this site.http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/ They are having all kinds of deal and prices are supposed to come down after Xmas. To answer your previous question. Yes, DirectTV is better than DishTV because they have the exclusve rights to the NFL Ticket (all NFL games) until the end of 2010. Plus, they also include the NFL Network (Thurs and Sat NFL games) which isnt part of the NFL Ticket or Nationally televised (in most cases). They will likely ask you to siugn a 2 year contract but most folks seemed faorly pleased with Direct TV. Some have complained of it going out in bad weather though.

Bob Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I hate those crooks at DirecTV. Look for added costs for EVERYTHING tacked onto those advertised prices. I use them instead of Dish Network because Dish Network does not have the YES network and I've gotta have my Yankees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is impossible to receive cable from an antenna. The point was probably right, though. You do NOT need a new TV and you do NOT need to change the source of your programming unless you're only getting over-the-air channels through rabbit ears on your set or an antenna on your roof.

The Gun Of Bavaria Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Buy a converter. They're cheap. Apply for your taxpayer subsidized coupon first before ya buy one though. Might as well get the $40 discount, you're paying for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachEY Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 WHAT is the best one to have? Well, I'd say if HD, all the premium channels, and a DVR is a possibility, then go blue. If HD and DVR are important, but not the premium channels, I'd say go red. If HD is not important, but a DVR is, I'd definitely go orange. Dark Green's great if all you're concerned about is a variety of channels. Light Green on the other hand if you don't need quite as many channels. And if you're just looking for the basics, then I'd say the mustard yellow package is perfect for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
