How does Direct TV compare with C-band satellite services?
C-band and Direct TV appeal to two very different audiences. C-band is more of a specialized product that appeals mostly to enthusiasts and video hobbyists who want unlimited access to all forms of television transmissions. In contrast, Direct TV is designed to be a mass-market television delivery system. For the average television viewer who wants the benefits of a multi-channel broadcast system without the higher cost and size of a conventional satellite system, Direct TV offers significant advantages over traditional C-band services. Direct TV offers the average consumer better broadcast quality than virtually any other system. You either get the best picture quality available or no picture at all.
