An Alternative to Cable - It’s About Choices

I’m going to step back in time a little and reflect on what it was like to have cable TV years ago. You see, back then you had no choice in TV providers at all. If you wanted to watch TV back then you had two choices: 1) Watch 13 channels with a terrible “snowy” picture, unless your antenna all of a sudden got jarred one way and the picture would improve a little; or 2) Pay for whatever cable TV provider serviced your area at the time. Well, number 1 was never an option for me because I needed to watch some quality channels and my picture needed to be clear. Number 2 was what I was forced to accept at the time as there were no other options. So, when your cable went out, the customer service people would act like they cared, but you could tell by their tone of voice that had a non-chalant attitude towards the whole thing. And why shouldn’t they? It’s not like a person could say they were going to stop service and switch to Direct TV or something! We had no other service to turn to back then.

Nowadays we have a choice! It’s wonderful what competitors do for the economy – lower prices, better quality and let’s not forget about better customer service! With all the Direct TV Deals out there, I certainly understand why people have been switching to this newer and more innovative service. Direct TV is definitely the way of the future and I for one am looking forward to the ride.
