  2. Discover the DIRECTV Difference! Backround When DIRECTVlaunched in 1994, it was the first entertainment service in the United States to deliver all digital quality, multi-channel television programming via an 18 inch satellite dish. __________________faqs

  3. The DIRECTV Difference! Background DIRECTVprovided television programming to rural areas that did not have cable access and became a viable alternative to cable TV. Ever since the small dish launched its first satellite, cable has been faced with a competitor unlike any other. Digital Broadcast Services now owns more than 27% of all video subscribers in the U.S.!

  4. The Telerent Edge! Background Founded in 1957, Telerent was acquired in 1989 by ITOCHU International, the North American subsidiary of Japan 's ITOCHU Corporation. Telerent has been serving the hospital and lodging industries for nearly 50 years and currently has service and lease contracts with approximately 5,000 hotels, hospitals and restaurants throughout the U.S.

  5. The Telerent Edge! Background The Telerent family is comprised of: by Telerent

  6. The Telerent Edge! Background Currently Telerent provides DIRECTV satellite television programming, equipment, service and financing to more than 150,000 rooms across the nation! We are the largest DIRECTV dealer in the nation whose primary focus is on your free-to-guest television service.

  7. DIRECTV Innovation! Technology As a pioneer in satellite TV technology, DIRECTV has made significant breakthroughs such as: - Pay-Per-View - Digital Video Recording/TiVo - On Screen Programming - High Definition Signal Delivery

  8. DIRECTV Innovation! Technology DIRECTV is committed to delivering more high definition to North America, as the budget for the entire Spaceway project will exceed one billion dollars. In January 2005, DIRECTV announced it will begin a historic expansion of its capacity with the planned launch of four next- generation satellites that will deliver more than 1,500 local HD and more than 150 national HD channels and other advanced programming services to consumers nationwide by 2007.

  9. The DIRECTV Advantages Difference Flexibility! DIRECTVgives your property the luxury of designing its’ own unique television lineup. Built around your guests, flag requirements and budget, this allows you to save a lot of expense that is spent on unnecessary programming that cable forces you to carry in their expanded tiers. After all, who ever lost a guest because they did not offer six shopping channels?

  10. The DIRECTV Advantages Difference Savings! ADIRECTV programming lineup can be aired at your property for as little as $1.25 per room! However, most properties select a package that will include a premium movie channel such as HBO, Starz or Showtime plus ESPN and offer a lineup of more than 50 channels for $8.80 per room plus $29.95 for the local channels. The $29.95 for the local channels is a once a month flat fee for the entire property and is not based on room count.

  11. The Bottom-line! Difference When you compare a 75 room property that is paying $11.00 per room for free-to-guest TV that includes a premium movie channel, to DIRECTV, it’s easy to see why so many properties are switching from cable to DIRECTV! Cable DIRECTV Difference Monthly: $825 $690 $135 Annually: $9,900 $8,280 $1,620 Over a five year period that comes to more than $8,100 in savings! Now multiply that by 10 or 20 properties!

  12. DIRECTV Quality Difference Quality! DIRECTV provides your property with a direct digital television signal. This signal comes straight from our satellite to your hotel via a 30” dish. The end result is a crystal clear television picture with CD quality audio for your guests to enjoy.
