Remember a while back when the government changed the laws about television broadcasts, my parents received a converter box that allowed them to get on the new national digital network.  They have been patient enough with that and it is now time for them to get DIRECTV by DirectSatTV.  They tried to stay with the free service that replaced the air waves, but it has just been too painful.

This switch was a long time coming and both my parents and I did our homework and looked at a lot of direct satellite tv offers before giving our final decision.  My parents are both retired and used to the old time tv shows, which we all now refer to as the “classics” .  The networks do not really air those shows anymore so having them available will be a great big plus.  Additionally, my parents often babysit for us and our kids will now have more viewing choices.  The third and final factor is sports.  My parents are avid basketball fans and they will now be able to watch pretty much any basketball game.

All in all, the dtv transition was something that took some getting used to. but has actually worked out for the better.  My parents are happy with the choice of programs they can now chose from and the quality of the programs are now obviously much better.
