Direct Communcations
Cable is a better deal than satellite.
Have you ever looked at the programming you are actually paying the satellite companies for? We are confident that by any standard, our lineup is a better value for your money. Take a look--we have 80 quality channels you can actually watch for only $37.95. If you are on satellite, you are bring charged for a bunch of worthless channels, that they get for free, because nobody will ever pay to watch them, and you probably will never watch, or in the case of audio-only channels, which they advertise as part of their "100" or "150 channels", you can't ever watch. Have you ever once watched Central China Television, or the Korean Language channel? Does anybody really need 10 channels of jewelry shopping and infomercials? You shouldn't have to pay for clutter you don't need.
We know who lives in our local market. We have more of what you really watch.
