DIRECTV HD DVR Features:
As one of the leaders in providing HD channels to your television, DIRECTV now has a full line of HD receivers. These range from the standard HD receivers to the DIRECTV Plus HD DVR.

The best series of HD receivers that DIRECTV carries is the DIRECTV Plus HD DVR. This receiver gives you access to thousands of movies from the comfort of your own couch. These movies are all in HD as well. This means that you will never have to go the movies.

The DIRECTV Plus HD DVR also can be viewed in HD or SD. So, if you don’t have a HD television yet but you are planning on getting one, you can still order this receiver. HD for this receiver is in MPEG-2 and 4.

With the DIRECTV Plus HD DVR you can record up to 200 hours of SD (standard definition) shows and 50 hours of HD shows. If you are gone but you still want to watch your favorite programs, you can watch them on your own time. You can set up your receiver to record all of the episodes of your favorite show as well.

Another feature of the DIRECTV Plus HD DVR is that ability to record two shows at once while watching another recording. This is an option that Dish Network does not have. This enables you to fast forward through commercials when you watch your shows.

The Series Link Feature of the DIRECTV Plus HD DVR is very useful. This allows you to record an entire season of shows without finding each one. When a show is re-scheduled, the receiver changes with it automatically.

With the DIRECTV Plus HD DVR you can pause and rewind live HD TV for 90 minutes. If you are in the middle of your favorite show and you have to run an errand, you can pause it and come back right to where you left off. Or, if you forget to pause your TV, you can rewind and see what you missed.










VoIP:
Voice over IP (VoIP) sends voice data in packets using the Internet Protocol (IP) instead of analog waves as does plain old telephone service (POTS) lines. Voice and Internet services are delivered over a local loop access circuit using the Internet Protocol (IP), and phone calls are delivered over the carefully-managed network often running the SIP protocol for Voice over IP. Many VoIP service providers guarantee that phone calls will not travel over the public Internet, but are converted and transmitted over the traditional telephone network directly from the VoIP provider's private Internet network that usually adheres to a defined Quality of Service (QoS).

Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a data network protocol that uses Class of Service (CoS) to prioritize different types of data packets across a shared network to facilitate the convergence of voice, video and data applications.

As business networks face increasing numbers of applications with low latency and high bandwidth demands, MPLS allows network administrators to specify which applications should be prioritizes above others so that data flows across the network is an organized fashion that reflects the relative business importance of various type of data.

MPLS network is particularly important to businesses running applications that require latency such as VoIP, ERP, SAP, etc.




High Speed Internet Access via Ethernet
High Speed Internet Access via Ethernet local access connects end user Ethernet local area networks (LANs) to the Internet over a metropolitan wide area networks (WANs) at speeds ranging from 1 megabit per second (Mbps) up to 1 gigabit per second (Gbps). Internet access via Ethernet is an "always on", flat-rate service that offers faster, more cost effective Internet access than is available through traditional telecommunication access technologies such as T1 / T3 or E1 / E3 connections.

Internet access via Ethernet is becoming more and more popular to meet the growing demand for dynamic high bandwidth increases. For example, an increase from 10 to 100 Mbps can be accomplished by a High Speed Internet over Ethernet provider by simple changing the settings on already installed Ethernet switches. This scalability is cost effective for customers in that bandwidth can be increased or decreased quickly and easily, on demand, without the necessity of adding or changing datacom equipment as would be required with T1 / T3 or E1 / E3 local access lines.




DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) Service:
Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) is a voice and data access service that supports both voice and data communication across a copper plain old telephone serivce (POTS) line and significantly increases the digital capacity of analog POTS access lines.

POTS local loop speed is increased by up to 50 times when a DSL modem is attached at the customer premise and a Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) is connected to the local access loop at the local telephone company central office (CO).

DSL service is delverd as Asymmetric DSL (ADSL) which is the most common application for Internet access, where fast downstream is required, but slow upstream is acceptable, and as Symmetric DSL (SDSL) which supports high speed access across the local access loop in both directions.

With wireless IInternet service in place as your primary or backup Internet connection, you can always count on low-latency connection to the Internet that means you will have an "always up", "never down", "zero outage" service that eliminates wasted time and increases productivity.

 History of DIRECTV

Written by: Rick Taylor - Jan 9, 2009


Headquartered in El Segundo, California, DIRECTV is the leading digital satellite service provider in the United States and provides HD Satellite TV service to over 17 million subsribers. The following is a rough summary of its impressive history:

Before 1984, satellites could carry only one communication channel per each transponder which limited satellites to a maximum of 24-32 communication channels per satellite - not enough bandwidth to support a commercially viable broadcasting system that could compete with established cable TV companies.

By 1984, Hughes had developed very high power satellites that could use digital compression (MPEG 2) standards that, for the first time, allowed multiple digital television channels to be sent through each individual satellite frequency. Hughes was approved by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to use their newly-developed technology to construct a Direct Broadcast Satellite (DBS) network.

In 1990, Hughes Electronics launched its DBS network, founded DIRECTV, and landed over one million satellite TV subscribers by the end of that year.

A DIRECTV/USSB partnership was formed in 1991, as DIRECTV's parent company, Hughes Electronics partnered with United States Satellite Broadcasting (USSB). USSB agreed to purchase 5 transponders aboard the future DIRECTV DBS-1 satellite to broadcast premium movie and pay per view offerings.

In 1993, a Hughes satellite was launched at the 101 degree west satellite location. This DBS-1, a high powered commercial satellite, carried a payload of 16 circularly polarized DBS Ku band transponders, each broadcasting at 120 watts per transponder. The new DIRECTV system quickly became one of the hottest-selling consumer electronics products of the year in 1994.

In the fall of 1994, a second DIRECTV satellite, DBS-2, was launched. This satellite enabled expansion of DIRECTV's programming to nearly 150 channels. In comparison, cable vision systems at that time offered an average of only 30 analog channels.

In the summer of 1994, DIRECTV introduced digital direct to home satellite service that was delivered via a small 18" satellite dish and set top receiver and offered two satellite services: (1) DIRECTV's delivery of most of the cable vision favorite channels and network feeds, and (2) USSB's delivery of premium services such as movie channels, such as HBO and Showtime, as well as pay-per-view sports.

By 1998, DIRECTV had over 4 million subscribers and purchased its partner, USSB, for over $1.3 billion. The acquisition provided DIRECTV customers with access to USSB's premier movie broadcasting and increased channel selection from 185 to 210. In July, DIRECTV invested $250 million in XM satellite radio.

In 1999, DIRECTV acquired Primestar, Inc. and its 2.3 million subscribers. As part of the deal, DIRECTV secured Primestar's satellite assets (11 transponders and two satellites) which added high-powered DBS frequencies to provide full coverage of the continental United States. In addition to the Primestar acquisition, DIRECTV launched a new satellite of its own, DIRECTV-1R on October 10, 1999.

In 2003, DIRECTV introduced a new high-definition video recorder jointly engineered by DIRECTV and Tivo as well as a second-generation set top box model through a partnership with Philips.

On November 11, 2003, DIRECTV added its 12 millionth subscriber.

DIRECTV currently has over 17 million subscribers and remains the top United States consumer satellite provider as it continues to expand its offerings through high-definition and entertainment packages such as NFL SUNDAY TICKET and TOTAL CHOICE® Mobile programming.
