Save Face With Satellite TV

If you're a social person, like myself, and frequently find yourself fulfilling the role of host for hordes of friends and acquaintances on a regular basis, then surely you've made some efforts to spruce up your home with the intention of impressing your guests a bit with your arrangements. There are the obvious steps like sweeping and vacuuming, dusting, hiding the mountains of dirty laundry, putting a vase of flowers on the mantle piece and laying a friendly welcome mat on the doorstep. Once you're an experienced host (again like myself), these measures seem to just go on autopilot. There are other ways to polish your home's image and wow the invites that are a little more technological, however, and will really put your boudoir over and above the expectations of most...and make them keep coming back time and again.

There are several ways to accomplish this, but one of the best is with a well-configured satellite TV set up. You'll present an integrated home entertainment system to your hosts, a perfect fun spot for adults and kids alike, with neat extras and gadgets that will have the murmurs about your technological savvy spreading fast. How to do it, you ask? Here's the way to get a great set up, and all the benefits that will come with it.

The first step is always ordering your subscription and requesting installation, which thank heavens is a matter of 24-48 hours. Offered free of charge, this is the easiest step.

Make sure to request an HD DVR with your service, as this will make your TV experience a million times more enjoyable (we'll get back to this gadget a little further on in the article). Also, choose some of the programming packages that you find most attractive: satellite TV always has the best packages, especially in the sports and high definition categories. You'll find packages that you'll think were specifically tailored to your tastes, and indeed, that really is the case!

Once you've done these things, the next step is creating a visually pleasing arrangement. Consider purchasing an HD screen if you've yet to own one, as it'll be the best way to enjoy all the cool high def material that you'll be getting with your satellite connection. Set up a surround sound stereo system, to jack up the shock and awe factor (and to enjoy all the cool satellite radio music channels you'll be getting). Then, as your coup de grace, connect your PC to your TV so that you can surf the web on your TV screen and/or feed channels to your monitor.

With the above elements all assembled properly, you'll be in perfect condition to throw the best parties and get-togethers. With your HD DVR you'll be able to record tons of appropriate material beforehand, as well as pause and rewind live TV-just imagine the joy of having all your buddies over for a game and getting to replay ad infinitum the best play of the game! All your guests will be delighted, and you'll be turned into the host par excellence of the neighborhood (so take warning, only do all of this if you're comfortable with that role!).

Direct TV is the nation's leading provider of satellite television services. For the best in sports programming, movies, and high-definition entertainment, check out the many great Direct TV packages currently available.
