Direct TV Utah Offers Diverse Programming

By Tanisha Berg


DirecTV subscribers are provided various television and audio services through satellite-based transmissions. Local television stations, broadcast network channels, paid subscription television, satellite radio, and private video services are all available through Direct TV Utah. Because of the fact that so many choices of channels of offered to its subscribers, DirecTV is able to compete with popular cable services and all other satellite services.

First generation antennas are no longer used much due to advances in technology. DirecTV subscribers now usually use smaller reception antenna, as do many other industries and applications. In addition to using smaller sized antennas, subscribers must also have equipment that accompany them such as satellite dishes, integrated receivers and decoders, and DirecTV access cards.

Different types of packages require extra monthly fees, and are optional by choice of the consumer. A subscriber might want the option to use a DVR or have more receivers. They might also want access to high definition or premium channels, pay-per-view events, or video-on-demand movies. Another option offered with DirecTV is the monthly protection plan, which covers various repairs and replacements of the consumer-leased equipment. This protection covers damages from power surges, lightening, floods, etc.

Various cable networks, motion picture film distributors, sports leagues, etc. Are paid by DirecTV and agree on a contract to allow access to their programming and the right to distribute all programs to DirecTV subscribers. These are sent to broadcast centers in Los Angeles and Castle Rock, Colorado; then are digitized and compressed into signals. They are also encrypted so that only DirecTV can access the information, and are sent to satellites in geostationary orbit. The resulting signals are then distributed to all DirecTV subscribers through these satellites.

Not only does DirecTV serve residential homes; but also offers its services to restaurants, hotels, bars, dorms, hospitals, etc. These establishments subscribe to a specific business service that DirecTV offers. DirecTV Mobile is also available for anyone who wants service in their cars, boats, or RVs. Nowadays, even aircrafts have access to DirecTV channels through the cooperation between DirecTV Airborne and Boeing's Connexion.

You can choose to install the satellite service yourself if you'd prefer, even though DirecTV will usually offer a free installation. If you choose to do it yourself, you'll be given a dish antenna installation kit and a satellite receiver box. Keep in mind, however, that the installation instructions can vary based on what type of dish you have. Also, you might need to check up on your home owner's association manual or contact the offices for permission to install the dish on your roof.

Once the satellite is installed, connect the receiver box to your TV using a cable. The type of cable depends on the receiver box you're given, however. You might end up choosing between HDMI, component, S-video, composite, or coaxial. Call DirecTV afterwards so that you can activate the service.

Your TV has to be tuned to the right channel. If the signal isn't quite strong enough, you can get to the main menu with the provided remote control. There, you'll access the specific coordinates of where your dish needs to be reset to. Positions include elevation, vertical angle, azimuth, and side direction.
