Having satellite television delivered straight into your living room is an exciting time for a family. The TV becomes a source of unending entertainment for a lot less than it would cost to frequent the movie theatre, go to the big game, or see your favorite band in concert.
The only problem you may face is finding enough time to watch everything you want. With all the extra channels and hundreds of new programs, you will need to use the DVR option and record programming to play back at a later time when it's most convenient.
Satellite TV comes with tons of new channels. In fact, you can potentially receive hundreds of new channels, which means even more shows, movies, games, and concerts. From here on out you will always have something interesting to watch on television. Imagine what this means for your channel surfing. First, you likely won't even make it through all the channels before you find something to watch. Second, you won't experience a drought of programming during your late night channel surfing. Literally every time you check the channels for something to watch, you will have quality programming at your disposal. That's the biggest difference between regular TV programming and satellite TV. You don't just receive hundreds of channels. The additional quantity is great, but it certainly would not serve you well if every channel was alike. Instead, the great thing about satellite TV is that you receive hundreds of quality programming, which means you have good options rather than simply hundreds of options.
However, with the increased programming you receive, you will need to use the DVR function. Get used to using this function with your satellite TV, because it will allow you to watch the shows and games at a later time when you can devote all your attention to them. There are several basic ways DVR improves your TV viewing experience.
First, you can record and play back any program at a later time when everyone can get together as a family or when you are not away at work or sleeping. Watch all the things you want without letting the TV control your life with DVR. Whenever it is convenient for you, come back to the television and play the prerecorded program.
Second, you can start recording a game, movie or any type of program a half-hour or so before beginning to watch it and fast-forward through the commercials. This is an advantage to having DVR that you might not think much about. However, once you are presented with so many other options on television, you will be glad you have the ability to move through a movie or game quickly and save time.
Third, with DVR you will be able to replay important parts of a movie or big plays in a game. Of course, sports are an important part to just about every American household. Commentators are generally good at providing replays of big plays. However, if you want to watch something not given attention by the commentators or only replayed once, then DVR can provide you with the ability to control the way you view the game. It gives you the power to decide when and how often you watch big plays or interesting parts of a movie.
Being able to use your DVR function, therefore, is an extremely important part of enjoying satellite TV for all it has to offer. It should be one of the first things you learn to do when you get hooked up to satellite TV.
