DIRECTV vs Cable
The decision is clear, make the switch from cable today.
The most basic difference between DIRECTV and Cable is how TV gets to your home. Cable delivers TV via cable alone, but DIRECTV lets you choose between DIRECTV via satellite or DIRECTV via internet.
DIRECTV connected via internet is similar to streaming and gives you great content online with no satellite dish required. Depending on your home’s location, access to quality internet and a variety of other factors, one option may be better than the other.
