Free DIRECTV Satellite System - Is it Really Free?

More and more people are subscribing to DIRECTV and one of the main reasons is the "free DIRECTV satellite TV system" promotion. But what do you really get and what do you have to pay for?

Let's find out ...


Free DIRECTV Satellite System

DIRECTV will give you a free satellite system consisting of a satellite dish and a four-TV receiver system - everything you need to watch satellite TV.

Here's what you get for free:


* A satellite TV dish that captures the signal from DIRECTV's satellite and sends it to your receivers.


* A receiver system that lets you watch four different programs on four separate televisions.


* Universal remote controls that operate your satellite TV system, your VCR, your DVD player, and your TV.


* A DVR (digital video recorder) receiver that lets you digitally record your favorite programs and pause and rewind live TV shows.


* An HD (high definition) receiver so you can receive HD broadcasts.


* Free installation and an in-home lesson on how to operate your system.

So what's the catch? You have to subscribe to their service. But with subscription fees starting at $29.99 per month, that's not a bad deal.


DIRECTV Satellite TV Programming

DIRECTV offers three programming packages:


* For $29.99 per month you can get their Total Choice package which consists of 155 satellite TV channels and includes 50 XM satellite radio channels, plus three months of HBO, Showtime, and Starz.

For $46.99 per month you can order the Total Choice Plus package with 185 satellite TV channels including 67 XM satellite radio channels.

For $96.99 per month you can get the Total Choice Premier package which has 250 satellite TV channels including
HBO, Showtime, and Starz, plus 67 XM satellite radio channels.

* Note: The Total Choice package is $29.99 a month for the first three months, then $41.99 per month after that. Local channels are $3 per month.


Bottom Line

If you're tired of getting fuzzy reception from your over-the-air antenna, fed up with increasing cable rates, or just want to get the most channels for the least amount of money along with the highest-quality picture and sound, then DIRECTV may be just what you're looking for.

Public High School Works With InterAct to Improve Security With Digital Video Surveillance System

Winston-Salem, NC (ContentDesk) July 31, 2006 -- InterAct Public Safety Systems, a leading provider of public safety technology systems used by local, state, national and international government agencies, today announced that Hazard High School in Hazard, Kentucky is installing its TrueSentry solution encompassing a digital video surveillance system, security operations center management, threat response, and dispatch with funds received from a Rural Law Enforcement Technology Center project.

Facility managers recognized this vulnerability and sought an uninterruptible power supply system that could serve the computers for the crucial 15 seconds. They selected an S&C PureWave UPS System.
It's designed to protect an entire facility against voltage sags and power outages for a minimum of 30 seconds at 100% load.
The 480-volt, 1250-kVA/1000-kW PureWave UPS System was installed in December 2003. It is the first installation of the PureWave UPS System with a large, natural-gas-fueled generator set.

The unique design of the PureWave UPS System provides maximum reliability at minimum cost.A broad range of power protection solutions are available from S&C Electric Company's Power Quality...

S&C?s PureWave DVR Solves Not-So ?Run of the Mill? Power Quality Problems

The Challenge:
Voltage Sags Disrupt Drives on Continuous-Operation Paper MachineVoltage sags at Caledonian Paper, a paper mill in Scotland, were causing tripping of 525-VAC adjustable-speed motor drives, creating major production problems. In this continuous-process plant?which is intended to operate for weeks or months without interruption?pulp slurry is passed between felt pads that are set very close together to produce a single layer of paper. If even one motor drive trips, a clump of paper can be forced through the gap, causing significant damage. It can take many attempts to restart the machinery after such an event. The Solution
Modifications were made to the motor drives to desensitize them to the voltage sags.

But these changes resulted in an unacceptable reduction in productivity. A more cost-effective solution was sought. An S&C PureWave DVR? Dynamic Voltage Restorer provided that solution.Of the 50-MVA total load of the paper mill, 8.3 MVA was identified...

S&C's PureWave UPS System Manages Power Quality in College Computer Room

Franklin, WI
November 5, 2003
-? Georgia College & State University, Milledgeville, GA, has selected S&C Electric Company's PureWave UPS? System to maintain consistent power quality to the computer room supporting their information technology activities.
Short-duration voltage sags and power outages were adversely affecting the productivity of students using the PCs in the room and were causing problems to the air conditioning system as well.
The college wanted to increase the number of PCs in the room and knew that maintaining power quality to the computers and the requisite additional air conditioning equipment was a must.
One problem: No indoor floor space was available for the power protection equipment.
In June 2003, a 140-KW, 208-volt S&C PureWave UPS System was procured and installed outdoors, along with a back-up generator.

S&C's PureWave UPS System is the only uninterruptible power supply system designed to stand...

Thanks to S&C's PureWave UPS, August Blackout Has Little Impact on Semiconductor Production

Franklin, WI
October 24, 2003 -? The August 2003 blackout affected much of the northeastern US and Canada, but manufacturing went on as usual at Emcore Corporation, a New Jersey semiconductor manufacturer.
Seeking to ensure optimum power quality for their critical processes, Emcore installed a 2500-kVA / 2000-kW S&C PureWave UPS? System in June 2002.Emcore was hit by a variety of voltage disturbances starting around 4:10 p.m. on August 14. The PureWave UPS System protected their production equipment five times during the initial collapse of the power distribution system, with operations ranging from 0.25 to 42 seconds.
There was no loss of production.S&C's PureWave UPS System, available in ratings to 20 MVA, delivers whole-facility protection from utility power source problems for critical power users in data processing, chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing, and other continuous-process industries.

The PureWave UPS System can be installed indoors...

Another View of Christmas

Christmas is a blessed time and one when we honor the birth of our Savior. We often have warm fuzzy feelings when we look at the nativity scene. I think we need to take a closer look. Mary, the mother of Jesus, gave birth in a cave with animals all around her and really no privacy. Can you imagine the smell in the cave? She certainly did not have any drugs to relieve the pain of childbirth.

Some Bible scholars believe Mary was 14 years old. Picture being 14 and giving birth in a cave. All...
