Directv Alternative to Cable

Directv is offering over 6,000 free movies and television shows downloaded through their HD DVR receiver. The download service does require a high speed Internet connection. If you are not ready to cord cut or live in an area not serviced by a high speed Internet connection then satellite TV might be the only option. When you sign up for Directv you must make a commitment for 2 years on a contract, but service cost might still be cheaper than for cable television. If you need live TV for local news in an area that does not get a good over the air coverage satellite television might carry the locals. As this is a cord cutting blog I hate to review a paid service, but there are many users that might find this to be the only choice. When picking equipment make sure to get the HD DVR package as it can be used for the whole home service that allow sharing recorded content on receivers in another room. As an alternative satellite TV might work for some users. The cost of service might not be the issue for those living in areas that cannot get high speed Internet or over the air TV. Think of satellite TV as an alternative to cable.
