Satellite TV HDTV (high definition TV) opens up a whole new world of entertainment. When you watch satellite TV in high definition, the picture and sound are so realistic you feel like you're part of the action.
HDTV is a must have if you want the best picture and sound when you watch satellite TV, but which satellite TV provider has the best free HDTV receiver and the best deal on HD programming?
Let's find out ...
Free Satellite TV HDTV Receivers
When you order DISH Network service you'll get a free satellite TV system consisting of a satellite dish and a four-room satellite receiver system. You also have the option of getting a free HDTV receiver. Their HDTV receiver lets you watch satellite TV programs in high definition format, giving you the clearest most lifelike picture available. This receiver also has Dolby Digital Surround Sound so you get a three-dimensional listening experience.
DIRECTV'S HDTV receiver has the same features as DISH Network's HDTV receiver, but you'll have to send them a $99 mail-in rebate to get their receiver.
Pay-For Satellite TV HDTV Receivers
DISH Network and DIRECTV also offer a combination HDTV DVR (digital video recorder) receiver for $199. With this receiver you can watch HDTV broadcasts and digitally record up to 200 hours of your favorite shows. You can also pause the show your watching to answer the phone or get a snack, then resume watching when you're ready.
