Welcome to Satellite: Here’s What You Should Know About DIRECTV

DIRECTV offers multiple satellite packages, which means more ways to watch, so you’ll never miss a minute of your favorite TV shows, movies, and sporting events.

The satellite dish is an ideal option if you live in a rural area and don’t have access to high-speed Internet. Besides the flexibility to choose between plans, DIRECTV satellite service includes 200 hours of DVR recording on Genie and DIRECTV’s HD DVR. For customers with high-speed internet, you’ll receive a Gemini device for streaming.

Additionally, DIRECTV offers 99% signal reliability.*
