What Does DIRECWAY do for Streaming Media?
The Directv ExperienceWhat is DIRECTV? DIRECTV © is the nation's #1 digital satellite entertainment service. Using the most advanced satellite technology, DIRECTV © delivers more than 225 channels of programming to homes and businesses that have DIRECTV © receiving equipment, which features a small satellite dish, a digital set-top receiver and a remote control. DIRECTV © offers an incredible selection of entertainment for every member of the family -- all in the 100% digital-quality picture and sound that DIRECTV © is known for.
DIRECT TV FAQ:Can I get Internet access from DIRECTV? DIRECTV © offers high-speed PC Internet-access to our customers through their sister brand HUGHES. We also offer modem connections that bring Internet content to the TV through some of our Advanced Products. How does DIRECTV compare with cable? DIRECTV © has created a programming service specifically driven to offer customers more choice and value for their entertainment dollar. DIRECTV © combines America's favorite network channels, other popular networks not available from many cable services, a pay per view movie service with up to 55 choices of movies and special events a day, local channels in many markets, and an unprecedented sports subscription lineup. No other system offers as many quality program options. Can I install the DIRECTV System myself or should I hire someone? DIRECTV's customers who use professional installers typically have fewer technical concerns later on, and professional installation is quite affordable. If you're purchasing an oval-shaped satellite dish, that installation is more complicated so you'll definitely want a professional to take care of it. What if I move? Does DIRECTV have a Mover's Service? Can I install the satellite dish inside my house? In order to receive the signal, the dish must have a direct line of sight to the south through a window. However, many types of window glass degrade the satellite signal. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you install your satellite dish outside in a suitable location. If I mount my satellite dish outside, will it get stolen? The dish is the least expensive component of the system and is basically useless without the set-top receiver. Also keep in mind that the dish is small enough to be placed in an inconspicuous location on your home or property. Can I use my existing wiring for DIRECTV? If the cable in your house is RG-6 coax cable, you can use it to connect your DIRECTV Receiver to your satellite dish. If your cable is not RG6 coax, you will need to run new cable. It is important that you use RG6 cable due to the frequency of the digital signals it must carry. Can I paint the satellite dish? It's okay to paint your dish if you don't use lead-based or glossy paint. Glossy paint could damage the Low Noise Block (LNB) converter by increasing the solar reflection. Also, do not paint the LNB itself. What is the purpose of connecting my receiver to my telephone line? DIRECTV © asks customers to connect the receiver to a land-based phone line for billing and pay per view ordering purposes. This connection sends purchase information from the receiver to DIRECTV's computer system. You cannot connect a cellular phone to your receiver; it must be a land-based phone line. With this phone connection, DIRECTV customers are authorized to order pay per view movies and events with their remote control, get popular sports subscriptions like NFL SUNDAY TICKET., and have the programming subscription on their main receiver "mirrored" to other receivers that are connected to the same phone line. Customers who don't have a continuous telephone connection are not authorized to receive certain sports programming, must call DIRECTV © to order pay per view, and must pay a separate subscription price for each receiver. To cover the costs of handling phone requests, DIRECTV © applies a $5 service charge on phone orders for pay per view movies and events. I've heard of Dolby AC-3 Audio. What is that? Dolby AC-3, more commonly known as Dolby Digital, is the latest generation of surround-sound encoding from Dolby Laboratories. While Dolby Pro Logic was an analog encoding scheme, Dolby Digital uses digital encoding to produce five discrete full-range channels of surround information plus a bandwidth-limited subwoofer channel. DIRECTV currently broadcasts many pay per view movies and other events with Dolby Digital formatted audio for those customers who have a special Dolby Digital audio receiver. Is the DIRECTV broadcast compatible with various surround-sound technologies? The DIRECTV System is compatible with Dolby Pro Logic Surround-Sound and Dolby Digital. To get true surround-sound, you will need a Dolby Pro Logic or Dolby Digital surround sound processing unit. Basically, you will be able to experience surround-sound with DIRECTV® programming if your home theater system has surround-sound capability. Does DIRECTV offer local network channels? Yes, a law passed by the U.S. Congress allows DIRECTV © to offer local television channels to selected areas. Eligible customers can order their local channel package for $5.99 a month. Please visit our local channel page to find out if you qualify for local networks. In some markets, you will need to have a DIRECTV Multi-Satellite System. Why do you charge for local channels and PBS? Aren't they free? DIRECTV © charges for subscriptions to broadcast networks for many different reasons. First, they must pay a copyright fee in order to be able to distribute the service. Then, just as with any signal they carry, they incur costs associated with receiving, encoding and transmitting it with their satellite and monitoring the signal quality. Also, they don't distribute local channels via satellite in all areas of the country. Therefore, they charge separately for local channel service so only customers receiving the service have to pay for it. Can I receive local channels from another part of the country? Under federal law, DIRECTV © can provide local channels only within a local TV market. For example, they can provide San Francisco stations in San Francisco and surrounding areas within that TV market. Federal law requires DIRECTV © to use local TV markets boundaries established by Nielsen Media Research. Distant broadcast network feeds from New York and Los Angeles are available only to customers who cannot receive an over-the-air signal from a local TV station or to customers who get waivers from their local TV stations. |
