Digital Television Today or Where Are The Missing Channels?

I don’t know about you, but last week I woke up to find all my TV stations gone. No more regular TV! Cut off! No more movies, no more sports and no more news. Well, okay, I feel better not watching Fox news but I like TV – we are OnlineTV after all!

What happened? Well, the FCC, an unelected group of mongrels who decide how to tax the free airwaves have decided to sell off the frequencies that TV used to broadcast on and force broadcasters to go digital. What that means to us is we have only a few choices to watch any TV, buy a new expensive digital TV, get a conversion box that does a terrible job as you now need a special antenna or go get Direct TV.

I checked out Direct TV and really liked the service. Not only do you get more channels than the new digital rabbit ears and a conversion box (costing 30 to 100 bucks) but also you get more channels than cable at a much cheaper price. Direct TV offers you some of the sweetest deals to get you back your TV viewing!

As you know OnlineTV is about entertainment and you can get all the movies you can eat from Direct TV including HBO, Showtime, Starz and more! Sports? Yeah, that is entertainment too and the Direct TV Deals for sports are beyond any other offers out there.

Direct TV offers you the opportunity to get a digital recorder so you can watch what you want when you want and avoid buying that digital conversion box for your set that gives you bad signals. Their box and service will give you over 100 real HD channels and 100s more regular digital TV! Something you can’t find on cable systems. They also offer you Internet at high speeds so you can watch our entertainment channels too! You even get Satellite Radio!

So, if you are stuck in the rut from the television conversion to digital you now have the ability to get out of it and get incredible services and a great set-top box free which will help you record over 200 hours of TV to watch whenever you want. Don’t be stuck watching snow on your TV! Check out Direct TV and you will find a great deal vs. the other options for digital TV and get a great digital video recorder for the effort.
