The other print ad will feature the company’s $39.99 a month DirecTV TOTAL CHOICE PLUS programming package that offers more than 130 digital-quality channels. That ad will state, “If we gave you any less we would be cable.” DirecTV also will launch two national television advertisements featuring “Dan,” the DirecTV installer character.

Each satellite provider is available in many different cities, but there are some places that
one or the other is not available. Dish Network is not available in Las Vegas, Memphis,
Milwaukee, Columbus and Baltimore. Directv is not available in Oklahoma City,
Albuquerque, Honolulu, and Grand Rapids.

How much will it cost you to have the system installed? Absolutely nothing if you have the great folks at Directv help you out on this improvement project. They give all their new customers a free satellite system, that includes a top of the line Hughes receiver, when they join their family of viewers. Free installation also, so you just can’t beat that deal. No hidden costs or catches and all you pay for is the programming that you get.

Programming is similar between both, but Directv has exclusive rights to several sports
packages. Only with Directv can you get NHL Center Ice, MLB Extra Innings, NBA
League Pass, and NFL Sunday ticket to view all of your favorite teams and games. These
packages of course come with an extra fee on top of the regular programming package.
Dish Network also has many sports channels, but has a wide range of international
programs including foreign language channels.

Both companies are popular with millions of TV viewers in the US and both offer 100%
digital quality programming. Customer service and billing is similar on each and you can
expect high quality support and fast correction of any problems encountered.

If you have any experience in the rental business, then you know that some improvements have to be tenant proof also. Things like carpeting and landscaping can become junk if they arent maintained well. One thing you can do to make your property stand out in the crowd when you advertise it, is to have satellite TV programming from Directv installed in it, ready to go when the tenents move in.

Pricing packages vary between both with Directv packages ranging in price between $39
and $90, while Dish Network prices range from $24 to $77. Dish Network is more
aggressive in promoting their system and even offer up to 4 receivers if a customer
commits to a 12 month programming package.

Think about it for a minute and you can see all the benefits it can bring. At the very least it will make the property more enticing, which will bring more responses when it is advertise. This will allow you to be just that more selective when you are sorting through the prospective tennants. On the long end, you can charge a little more than the cost of the satellite TV service and that is what is called profit and that is what the game is all about.
