Directv and Your Business

Almost everyone visits restaurants, spends time in waiting rooms and stays in a hotel, dormitory or even a hospital. What common activity do all of these people share? If they're lucky, they all get to enjoy access to Directv through a business owner's commercial subscription.

What do you mean a "commercial"� subscription? Why can't I just have a regular installation done in my waiting room? Unlike regular "domestic"� or in-home satellite television packages, those set up in public areas must adhere to certain federal guidelines. Directv eliminates any worries or work by offering public viewing packages that are pre-approved for display in locations such as bars, restaurants, waiting rooms, offices and many other locations - including dormitories or hospitals!

Are there benefits for commercial subscriptions of satellite television? Absolutely, Directv understands the incredibly positive effects such a service can have on business owners. For example, think about the average experience in a waiting room"¦out of date magazines, piped in "musak"� and boredom. When a business owner purchases a subscription to Directv's business programming package they provide clients with up to the minute news, entertainment and enjoyment. This can make even a lengthy waiting period seem remarkably shorter and less frustrating.

What is included in a commercial package? Directv has created several public viewing packages for a wide variety of business owners and professional needs. Generally, customers can view more than one hundred channels, including the many high definition (HD) channels available in premium and local broadcasts.

Currently a subscriber could choose from the Business Choice, Business Entertainment, Business Information and the Latino programming of Selección Commercial Ultra. Additionally, a classic "musak"� contract could be replaced with the wonderful options in XM Satellite Radio. There are also a wide range of specialty packages particularly popular with restaurants and bars including the NFL Sunday Ticket and the NASCAR Hot Pass.

Understanding that waiting room time can be made far more enjoyable is only the beginning of understanding how a public viewing package will add value to your business.

Consider the advantages of up to the minute business and industry news provided through a satellite package. Office employees will be continually stimulated by such information, and the overall atmosphere in the workplace will receive a truly motivational "boost"�.

Imagine the number of new customers a bar or restaurant will be able to attract through free access to premium sports packages. Viewers will be able to watch the finest football, baseball, basketball and auto racing with their closest friends or family. In fact, such entertainment options are quickly becoming one of the most popular ways to spend and evening out on the town without spending a lot of money as well. This all translates to return customers and a larger client base.

It is going to cost a lot, isn't it? Nope! Just like residential packages, many of Directv's public viewing packages come with free standard commercial installation services and no start up costs for any of the equipment (with the exception of the televisions for viewing). This means that a business owner can enjoy the immediate benefits of such services without an enormous investment or expense!
