Super Bowl Sunday was coming up! I had BIG plans. I had just moved into my new house and I wanted my family and friends to come over and watch the game on my 72? flat screen TV! I had purchased a top of the line Plasma equipped with HD 3D capabilities. Now all I needed was the DIRECT TV HD channels. It would be so awesome if we could actually watch the Super Bowl in 3D! In my house, I needed to hurry up and finish setting everything up so that I could get ready for my Super Bowl extravaganza!
I ran into several problems with my new house; Leaky roof, broken pipes and much more. The money in my checking and savings account was almost gone and my new job was not set to start for another 3 weeks. How was I going to fix my house and still throw that amazing party? Oh well, guess I was just going to have to wait until next year. I continued working on my house.
I was surprised to see that I had a little bit of money left over, when I finally done everything. There was no way that I was going to be able to do the party though. I still needed cable. The local cable company was not cheap. Just to start out I would need a deposit along with the first and last month's monthly fee. There was no way that I could afford that. I really thought that I was going to have to forget about the game and the whole party idea.
When I seen a sign that advertised free satellite installation, I was in town buying groceries. The sign was pretty old but I was able to read the phone number of it. I wasn't even sure if that offer was still valid but I was going to take my chances and try calling anyways. So, after I finished my shopping I called the number. It was for DIRECTV. I had heard of them before and wanted to purchase DIRECT TV HD programming so that I could watch my movies in High Definition. To look up more information about them, I went to the local library and used the internet. Before I spoke to a customer service representative I wanted to know everything about the company and just what all they had to offer.
I was amazed at all of the amazing deals and offers that they had. Their package plans started out as low as $29.99. As I continued researching I found that the installation was still free and that they offered a free HD DVR along with HD installation in up to three rooms and it was all for FREE for first time customers. I was absolutely amazed. Surely there had to be a catch. Was it possible to receive such great offers and not have to pay anything up front? According to DIRECT TV reviews, I could get great service at a very low price.
Before I called them, I decided that if I were to sign up with them that I would purchase the Choice Xtra package. The Choice Xtra package comes with free installation; free HD for LIFE, free HBO, CINEMAX, SHOWTIME and STARZ for the first three months. It also comes with over 200 digital channels. Not to mention the FREE HD DVR and HD installation in up to three rooms in my new house. I could also watch movies on my phone when I was away from home. How great is that? I could also use my DVR and record my favorite movies or TV shows when I'm away from home. No more rushing home from work on Monday nights to watch my favorite TV shows! After calling DIRECTV, I believe I became the happiest person on the face of the earth. Not only was I out of pocket absolutely nothing, I was also scheduled to have my services the very next day! I could now throw that BIG Super Bowl party and watch the game in HD! The day of the party was great! All of my friends and family came over and we sat in my living room and watched the big game. Because of DIRECT TV HD channels, I was able to provide excellent entertainment to my guest! Watching the game on HD was so amazing!

Well I'm glad you found a solution in time for the party, but you would have gotten a better deal with DISH. I have a DISH account, and LOVE sports, so that is always at the foundation of my decision making when I choose a TV provider etc. With DISH I got HD Free for Life, and DIDN'T have to get an expensive package. I also got setup with the new Hopper Whole Home HD DVR! This DVR is amazing, as it lets me connect to four different HDTVs. Each connected TV can record independent programming, and each has access to the main DVR playlist. Unlike DirecTV, the Hopper lets me record up to 6 live HD programs at once, and has a 2 TB Hard Drive that lets me record and store 2,000 hours of content. If you are a sports or movie fan, the benefits therein are endless! When my boss at DISH told me the Hopper was set to release in March, I got in line as quickly as I could. The best part? New subscribers get it for FREE! Your move, DirecTV!
