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

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.
