What's The Point In Getting Satellite TV?

What is the point of having satellite television if you don't have lots and lots of channels to choose from? That is why DirecTV offers so many channels on it's "Total Choice" service package. In fact, DirecTV offers it's customers 155 channels plus access to special packages like "NFL Sunday Ticket" for just about $30 per month. For that price you not only get your local channels, you also get lots of sports channels, news channels, educational channels, kid's channels, movie channels and music channels.

Do you regularly head out to the local pub because your local stations are not broadcasting the games you want to watch? Do you pack your family up and head to the movies just because there isn't anything to watch on TV? If this describes you, then DirecTV's "Total Choice" service package will actually save you money every month. When was the last time you went to the pub and spent less than $30? What about the movies? By the time tickets, sodas and snacks are purchased, a trip to the movies for a family of four can cost well over $50, and that is for just a couple hours of entertainment. Now, I am not saying that going to the movies isn't fun, because it is. And likewise, sometimes it is more fun to hang out at the pub to cheer on your favorite sport team. But wouldn't it be nice to have the option of staying home and still have something to watch for your whole family, or the option of staying home to cheer on your favorite teams?
