We are often asked how DirecTV compares to cable. See for yourself:

First, with DirecTV you get more choice and quality for your entertainment dollar than with cable. The Total Choice® package gives you more than 155 digital channels for only $44.99 per month. For the same price with cable, you'll typically get 60-90 analog channels.

Second, with DirecTV, you can order Pay Per View movies whenever the mood strikes, and receive up to 50 XM Satellite Radio channels in your Total Choice base package.

DirecTV offers an unrivaled lineup of sports programming, all delivered with the most advanced technology available. We have DVR and HD services, exciting new on-demand offerings, interactive program enhancements, and exclusive programming by subscription.

Perhaps most important, DIRECTV has earned higher customer satisfaction ratings than cable for five years running (The American Customer Satisfaction Index, The University of Michigan Business School, 2001-2005)
