New Celebrity Sightings

If you are currently a cable TV customer, maybe you have been tempted to switch over to a satellite TV provider like DirecTV. Maybe you have hesitated though, thinking that satellite service is unreliable, or that the discounts available don’t stack up with your cable bundle. The other alternative in many areas is a new service called Verizon Fios. Are you making the right choice by choosing a Direct TV bundle or Verizon Fios instead of staying with Comcast or Time Warner?

You might be surprised to find out that Direct TV and Verizon Fios offer just as much content as cable.  A bas e package like the Choice package will give you 150 plus channels right off the bat. This package is priced in line with a basic cable package that you might purchase from Time Warner or Brighthouse. You will find over 100 video channels, and around 50 audio channels here and the regular price is around $55 per month.

Verizon Fios offers their TV Essentials bundle for about $50 a month. Naturally they want you to purchase other services as well. High speed internet and home phone service are also available with Fios, so you can get a triple play bundle.

Now if you have an all inclusive bundle with your cable television company, you know how costly that can be. Generally, the standard pricing on these packages with Comcast or Time Warner usually run about 0 per month. Direct TV offers a package called the Premier bundle which has everything for around 0 a month including high definition. You do have to pay extra for high definition, but you are still looking at a nice savings over cable.

Whatever your programming choices are, evaluating satellite TV bundles is a smart thing to do in today’s economy, especially when cable TV prices keep on increasing. Reviewing other services like cable TV and comparing them with the latest Direct TV offer is a good idea.
