Our New Satellite TV Service is Great!

You may have read my other article, Satellite TV, which was a bit of a rant about our previous service. Well, we recently signed with DirecTV, and so far, we love it.

Not only did we get free installation in four rooms, a free DVR, a free portable DVD player (after rebate), and a $100 rebate (which will take $10 off our next ten billing statements) but we also receive great programming that includes many more channels than the other service provided. The best part is that it's only costing us about five bucks more than the previous service, and we only had programming on one television set before.

For just a few dollars more, we now have satellite TV in the living room and in each bedroom. No more fighting over which show to watch! It was perfect timing too. Our service was installed the day the kids were getting out of school for Christmas vacation.

I had to laugh as the guy went from room to room to see where the receivers would be located. Every time he entered another room, he ran into another one of our children. He said he understood why we wanted this deal.

Having service in each room sure has made things less stressful, although we do make sure our girls don't spend all their time in front of the television(s). I have found myself watching a little more often, now that I have service in my room. I also received a new TV for Christmas. It even has a sleep timer, so I can set it to shut the television off after I pass out in front of it. One of these days, I'm actually going to watch a whole movie in one sitting! Now, I'll have plenty of opportunity to do so.
