In the latest trend of sports games more frequently offered on satellite TV networks, some sports fans are finding that satellite TV is the only place they can view their favorite games. The HOF (Hall OF Fame) game will be broadcast only over satellite TV this year. In addition, many of the 2007 season’s Ohio State Buckeyes football games will also appear only on satellite TV networks.

This should not be a problem, given the availability of DirecTV sports packages, The Dish Network sports offerings, and free satellite TV for the PC and Internet. This is more evidence of the growing popularity of satellite TV networks and satellite TV systems in American and around the globe. This means that increasing numbers of sports fans can have access to these games via satellite TV, and that potential new fans will also have easy access in the coming football and basketball season.

Couch potatoes have given way to a new breed: Car Potatoes. These TV watchers can view their favorite programs from the back seat via satellite TV. This mobile satellite TV system features over 185 channels and appeals especially to carpoolers and sports fans.

DirecTV and KVH Industries state that their TracVision A7 mobile satellite TV system provides a “living room TV experience” in the family car. By law, a monitor cannot be placed in a front seat. Previous front seat TV’s were programmed to shut down when the vehicle was in motion. Some drivers were watching TV at stop lights and that proved hazardous.

The TracVision A7 mobile satellite TV system has a low-profile antenna that sits atop the vehicle and tracks the same satellite that DirecTV uses. Consumer interest has increased because local channels are now available. In-car service costs $4.99 a month if you have DirecTV already at home.

The programming packages from DirectTV outdistance all competition. The introductory level Total Choice package provides one hundred and fifty channels, over two-and-a-half times the competition's. Total Choice includes a diverse range of topics from global news to music videos, religion, history, gaming, home shopping, cartoons. classic reruns, fitness, movies, and endless others. Total Choice provides your local channels as well. This means crystal clarity in digital TV in all weather.

The next from DirecTV is Total Choice Plus, for 180 channels. Total Choice Plus features a variety of children's programming, educational programming, and even additional stations for music video television and sports. The final package is for sports and movie lovers. Total Choice Premier adds movie packages like Showtime Unlimited and the Starz Super Pack, along with Cinemax and HBO. Total Choice Premier then adds a wide range of sports channels including regional sports networks. This gives you a total of two hundred and fifty channels. As an added bonus all three programming packs provide XM satellite radio channels.

While numerous TV networks broadcast a variety of sports for millions of fans to enjoy, only satellite TV provides the premiere sports program choices that are exclusive to its subscribers. Satellite TV networks like DIRECTV also feature special programs for specific league play in specific sports. That is an offer that regular and Cable TV cannot make. Satellite TV subscribers see more games in a single season in their favorite sports and leagues than with anything offered on regular and Cable TV.

Satellite TV gives you the chance to see more games per week – even your favorite leagues – all in real time.  

 

Cable TV offers only a limited number of games in any league per season; such as probably 25% or less of NBA games. You only get to see a few highlights from other games. However, subscribing to satellite TV sports packages solves the problem — DirecTV offers NBA League Pass for 40 NBA regular-season games a week.
