			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While a huge draw for Direct TV&#8217;s fifteen and a half million subscribers is the massive amount of quality television programming provided by its hundreds of channels, the great television technology that&#8217;s provided with every subscription goes a long way toward keeping those subscribers happy and satisfied.</p>
<p>All of Direct TV&#8217;s programming starts out at transmission stations where if it isn&#8217;t already in digital television format, it&#8217;s converted into digital television format.  Then all of the programming is encrypted to prevent people who don&#8217;t subscribe to Direct TV&#8217;s service from stealing it.  Once the programming has been converted and encrypted, it&#8217;s compressed using either MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 data compression technologies and transmitted up to a fleet of satellites in geosynchronous orbit above the Earth&#8217;s equator.  Those satellites then send all of the programming back down to the Earth&#8217;s surface where satellite dishes all over North America can pick it up.  Those satellite dishes then send the programming to Direct TV&#8217;s satellite receivers which decompress it, decrypt it, cleanse it of interference, and make it available to display on television screens in a high quality picture that can&#8217;t be matched by an old fashioned analog television signal that just travels across town.</p>
<p>Along with great programming and a great picture, Direct TV also provides interactive features with all subscriptions.  These interactive features include things that will help make hundreds of channels manageable and enhance the enjoyment of the satellite TV experience.  The central feature to all of this is the on screen program guide.  The on screen program guide provides interactive listings of every program on every channel available from Direct TV.  Each listing includes the year the program was made, who stars in it, what it&#8217;s rated (if applicable), and often comes with a brief summary of the plot.  Scrolling through the on screen program guide is a much more efficient way to decide what to watch than surfing through the channels would be, and can even tell you what&#8217;s available to watch in the future. </p>
<p>Another valuable interactive feature that&#8217;s included on all of its subscriptions is Parental Control capability.  Parental Controls allow you to block inappropriate programming from being accessed by your children.  You make the rules for what they can and can&#8217;t watch based on MPAA ratings, channel, time of day, or even specific TV show.  You can also set spending limits on Pay Per View programming.  Best of all, you can still watch what you want with the use of your own personal identification number.</p>
<p>Direct TV subscribers can also enjoy access to optional technology.  Digital Video Recording is a very popular example of what you can get through Direct TV.  With a Digital Video Recorder you can record up to two hundred hours of the TV shows and movies that you want to watch again and again or the programming that you have to see, but can&#8217;t be at home to watch when it first airs.  A Digital Video Recorder is easy to program with the intuitive software supplied by Direct TV and because all of the video is stored on a built in hard disk, you won&#8217;t have to worry about finding blank video tapes.  Plus, because the video is recorded in all digital television format, you&#8217;ll enjoy the same great high quality picture and sound that you would if you were watching the program directly off of the satellite signal.</p>
<p>With all of this great technology, you can&#8217;t go wrong with Direct TV. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This arrangement gives the program provider the edge to ensure that quality pictures are broadcasted and delivered to their subscribers and viewers. A contractual agreement is entered by the providers and the distributors, and one main issue that&#8217;s addressed is what the distributors can and cannot do with the Providers signal.For instance, a provider can send out a program in 720p and the cable provider cannot change it to 480i in order to save bandwidth. This is to ensure that the quality of picture transmitted is truly broadcasted to their subscribers and viewers.Some reputable DBS provider delivers its broadcasts and programming precompressed and makes strict demand on what other agents programming company&#8217;s is multiplexed (bandwidth economics) with onto the same channel. For instance Robert Zitter, HBO&#8217;s chief technical officer in an interview says &#8220;We do a contractual relationship with all of our distributors, and one of the items that&#8217;s addressed in there is what they can and cannot do with our signal,&#8221;. He further says that they place a high priority on their video broadcast and thus ensures that no other programming content is multiplexed with onto the same channel with their content (no sports channels, animated content or other high-bit-rate-demand content).We know that more demand is made these days on the quality of pictures delivered HI-DEF signal technologies, considering the quantum leap in both bandwidth and video compression technologies. This conversely put stress more and more HI-DEF channels with ever-higher bit-rate demands.The result is the increased Internet usage putting more strain on overall cable bandwidth, the horse-trading between broadcasters over bits per second could easily get messier as time goes on until a solution is brought about by another technology breakthrough.Quoting Hugh Brydges, of the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers, he stated that there is a behind-the-scenes quasi-democracy of bandwidth going on with many cable networks, where major channels get assurances of quality, while certain low-viewership channels aren&#8217;t really channels in the classic sense at all.Using a technology called &#8220;switched digital video,&#8221; these channels are served up to viewers upon request like a video-on-demand movie. When nobody is watching, the channels take up no space at all. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You have heard the stories before, the ones about journalists and reporters losing their jobs for reporting the truth and perhaps later they receive some sort of honor for doing what they did and should have done in the first place, tell the truth.  With that in mind let us consider movies and TV shows.  It seems that media censorship is everywhere.<br />
What can be done about it,if you are like me you want the real news, not some half-baked story that was created to drive the ratings for the news network.  For me satellite TV on my computer has solved this dilemma.<br />
But before I go into that that solution I want to discuss a little more about what I perceive as a problem.  Is it just me or does the media really control what we think in some ways, let me explain.  Movie after movie has been created that depicts Italians associated with the Mafia.  There have even been hit series with that theme.  This stereotyping makes one believe that it is true that all Italians are associated with the Mafia.<br />
We see so many murders on TV.  The show can make the murder seem justified, what does that do to our minds in the long run.  In many movies CEOs of large corporations are made to appear that the only thing that matters in life to them is money.  In old-time westerns we came to accept that the bad guys wore black hats and the good guys wore white.  There were not any gray areas to contend with.<br />
In my life it seems that everything is varying tones of gray!  When I watch the news I am watching because I want to know what is going on in the world.  I want the real story.  The problem is that the news that is shown is determined by program popularity.  A news director is responsible for maximizing ratings and station profits.  This person really has little choice but to appeal to popular tastes.  That means if my or your tastes are not mainstream we may never hear about them.<br />
We are likely to only hear about stories that will grab and hold the attention of the audience and that are visual, easily explained, and easy to understand.  Like all media the news is ratings driven and they rely on advertising profits.  Viewers are essential to their success.<br />
Although we may not be able to change the system as it is we can add satellite TV to our PCs.  This enables us to view thousands of channels from around the world.  This means that you can watch the news in your local town or a town across the country or across the world.  This affords you the opportunity to learn about news from various perspectives and you will then be able to determine your own unique point of view.<br />
With over 3000 channels at your disposal you will never run out of entertainment.  It is all available for a one time low price, no recurring fees and you get: movies, sports, music, premium channels, kids channels, educational TV, shopping, news, weather, politics, religion, and much more.  This is the ultimate in at home escapism! </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m sure by now you have heard the name Direct TV a time or two. If you have ever searched online for information regarding the different satellite TV providers in your area then chances are high that you were bombarded with advertisements urging you to take advantage of their limited time offer. You can easily find tons of articles that include information regarding Direct TV&#8217;s service and equipment. You will be happy to know that J.D. Power and Associates gave Direct TV high rating for their advanced equipment and superb TV entertainment services.  </p>
<p>Direct TV is known as being the number one satellite TV provider in the world, with more than fifteen million satisfied subscribers in the United States alone. Direct TV was first introduced to the public back in 1994 and is a subsidiary of New Corporations Fox Entertainment Group. They were actually the first direct broadcast satellite in the world and have managed to stay one step ahead of the competition with their combination of great customer service, programming options, and competitive rates. Direct TV has had such success that they have been able to expand their services from digital satellite TV to include XM radio, broadband satellite Internet, as well as high definition TV (HDTV). </p>
<p>One of Direct TV&#8217;s most popular offer is that you will receive free high end equipment and professional installation with the purchase of a subscription. When you compare satellite TV with Direct TV to other standard cable TV providers you will immediately see why people are constantly changing over from cable. You can compare price, service options, and equipment and you will be even more ready to call up a local Direct TV service provider. </p>
<p>Direct TV has a fleet of orbiting satellites which send out one hundred percent digital signals to homes all over America and Latin America. The programming signals are intercepted by the home-attached antennas and are then converted to either standard or high definition resolution for your viewing pleasure. Many of today&#8217;s technological advances have provided the most crystal clear picture and sound quality. </p>
<p>Not only does Direct TV offer their basic equipment for free (home attached compact dish antenna, fully integrated receiver, as well as a universal remote) and professional installation at no extra cost to you, but every new subscriber will also get a digital video recorder (DVR). This highly popular and useful device gives you the power to digitally record and store up to seventy hours of perfect programming. You simply use the provided remote control to set the DVR to record which ever shows you wish, even setting it to record an entire season of your favorite show. With Direct TV&#8217;s DVR you have the ability to record one show or movie while enjoying a different channel. This is ideal for anyone who has to share their TV with someone. Direct TV makes it easy for you to make the decision to switch over from your current TV entertainment provider to their satellite services, so why wait any longer?     </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You are likely one of the millions of people who get advertisements from local TV entertainment providers in the mail. There are so many different companies offering multiple packages and services that it is easy to get confused. Start with the company that is the top rated satellite TV provider in the world, Direct TV. Direct has more than sixteen million satisfied customers in America alone. </p>
<p>With Direct TV you are receiving one hundred percent digital signaling from the fleet of orbiting satellites above the earth. Then it is processed through a home-based receiver where it can be converted to standard or high definition resolution for your viewing pleasure. Either of the two formats will offer you crystal clear pictures as well as Dolby Digital surround sound. If you want the top of the line visual and sound effects then you have to upgrade to high definition (HD). This format is comparable to a theater but in the comfort of your own home.   </p>
<p>Direct TV is so successful because they have a winning combination of top rated customer service, massive programming packages, and at an affordable, competitive rate. Not to mention the top of the line equipment and technology you will receive with your subscription. The more you read about Direct TV the more evident it is that they are a superior TV service provider in many ways. Direct TV strives to keep their number one position, so they continue to offer their state of the art equipment and professional installation for free to any new subscribers. </p>
<p>Direct TV even took it one step further and are now offering their digital video recorder (DVR) which is a device that seriously changes the way you watch television. There once was a time when your busy life meant you had to miss your favorite TV shows or movies, unless you wanted to mess with a video cassette recorder and hope that no one changes the channel while you are recording. Now you can use the DVR to digitally record and store up to seventy hours of your favorite programs directly on to the hard drive of your receiver. </p>
<p>You simply use the universal remote that is included to record, pause, fast forward, rewind, and skip forward. You also have the ability to edit your programming by cutting out the commercials and by playing instant replays for your guests and family. You can also use your remote to pause and resume live programming at will. </p>
<p>You can choose from any of Direct TV&#8217;s amazing programming packages which are perfectly divided up with you in mind. There are packages that range from one hundred and fifty five channels all the way up to more than two hundred and fifty channels. These packages are divided up into the Total Choice package, the Total Choice Plus, and the Total Choice Premier. With this many options you will never have to hear your family complain that there is nothing for them to watch on TV.   </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The decline in the usage of cable TV is slow but continuous. In a market of a constant size, an increase in the penetration of one product inevitably means a loss of market share in another. In the case of the TV market, the increase in market share of satellite TV means there&#8217;s a decline in cable TV.  Cable TV was originally seen as a means for isolated country areas to experience the television benefits  then being enjoyed by city dwellers. From a slow beginning in the late 1940s it developed into a huge industry by the 1990s influencing the lives of many people. By the end of the 1990s, it was estimated that approximately 70% of American homes had access to cable TV. However, the 90s saw the introduction of satellite TV and the start of the decline of cable TV. The satellite TV providers made a very aggressive assault on the TV industry and very quickly had gained a large slice of the market. Since then the position of the satellite companies has got stronger at the expense of the cable companies. While cable delivered a signal to each home via an underground cable, the signal for this new innovation came from satellites located over the Caribbean Sea. Reception at each subscriber was through a small circular dish usually affixed to the roof of a building. As long as the dish had an uninterrupted view of the southern sky, a TV set would be able to display a perfect picture and sound.Like cable TV, the satellite TV providers&#8217; packages are available through a monthly subscription and a 1 year contract. Most of the channels shown on cable are also available with the satellite companies, so a family switching over to satellite TV from a cable TV provider will still be able to enjoy their favorite programs.The rise and rise of the penetration of satellite TV into American homes has come at the expense of cable TV. Cable TV is on the decline at an ever increasing rate, and although its demise may be some time away, it will eventually happen.  Not only is this an example of superior technology replacing inferior technology, the downfall of cable TV is being accelerated by the overtly aggressive promotion policies of the satellite TV providers.So what are the problems facing the cable TV industry? These can be divided into two &#8211; firstly the technological problems, and secondly the threats from assertive satellite competitors.Technological Issues confronting Cable TV1) As the TV signal is delivered to subscribers via cable, then bad weather conditions may affect these cables. Cable TV is not as reliable as satellite on this score.2) Cables cannot deliver the much larger number of channels that satellite transmission can. Cable therefore cannot match satellite when it comes  to variety of channels on offer.3) Picture and sound quality with cable is inferior to that of satellite &#8211; satellite TV signals are 100% digital something that the cable companies cannot easily provide.4) The nature of satellite TV means its more easier to incorporate new technologies into the system.Threats from Aggressive Competitors1) As the satellite companies are chasing market share, they are keeping their subscription fees as low as possible. The cable companies&#8217; fees have been increasing at a greater rate than those of their satellite competitors.2) Both the major players in the satellite TV industry offer new subscribers free equipment and installation, such as a satellite dish, set-top equipment etc.3) The installers of the satellite systems offer a range of free gifts, with the satellite companies offering special deals and prices for new customers.4) The satellite signal enables the delivery of a larger number of channels. This factor alone is encouraging large numbers of families to dump cable TV.5) Numerous industry surveys point to satellite TV companies placing greater emphasis on customer service than the cable operators.6) The ever-increasing number of subscribers to satellite TV is in itself encouraging families to switch over.In the past, cable TV has been at the forefront in providing the American public with a wide range of viewing options. Unfortunately the advent of satellite TV has had an adverse impact on cable TV. Unless the cable TV companies can match or better the technological advantages enjoyed by their satellite competitors, then their demise will be final. </p>
