HDTV TELEVISIONS

If you are currently a cable TV customer, maybe you have been looking to switch over to a satellite TV provider like DirecTV. Maybe you have hesitated though, thinking that satellite service is unreliable, or that the discounts available don’t stack up with your cable bundle. The other option in many neighborhoods is a new service called Fios. Are you making the right choice by selecting a Direct TV package or Verizon Fios instead of staying with cable television?

You might be surprised to find out that DirecTV and Fios offer just as much programming as cable. A starting package like the Choice package will give you 150 or more channels right off the bat. This package is comparably priced with a basic cable package that you might purchase from Time Warner or Brighthouse. You will find over 100 video channels, and around 50 audio channels here and the regular price is around $55 per month.

Fios sells their TV Essentials package for about $50 each month. Naturally they want you to subscribe to other services as well. High speed internet and home phone service are also available with Verizon, so you can get a triple play bundle.

Now if you have an all inclusive bundle with your cable TV company, you know how costly that can be. Generally, regular pricing on these packages with you cable company usually run about $180 per month. Direct TV offers a package called the Premier bundle which has everything for around $110 a month including HD channels. You do have to pay $10 extra for high definition, but you are still looking at a nice discount over cable. Another option is lining up Verizon Fios vs Dish Network TV to see which is right for you.  Check online, as there are lots of Verizon deals.

Whatever your programming choices are, evaluating satellite TV bundles is a smart thing to do in this economy, especially when cable rates keep going up. Reviewing other options like Uverse and comparing them with the current Direct TV offer is a good idea.
