"Discover Amazing, International Satellite TV and View Awesome Entertainment & Exciting Sporting Events From Around the World"

Stay in touch with everything you love through the power of technology...



Dear Reader,

Quite frankly, International Satellite TV programming, available from DIRECTV and DISH NETWORK, can revolutionize your life. With it, you're only a click away from instant happiness. Our mission is to empower you to revisit a world that has always been rich and dear to you. As soon as you settle down into your armchair, you'll quickly forget your daily cares and worries as you reach for your remote control.

Today, with the power of satellite communication you can watch your favorite shows from your homeland. Your broadcast will be clear. The technology will seamlessly deliver high-quality all digital audio and video presentations. We FOCUS on the technology so that you don't have to--and can just settle back into the cushions and truly enjoy your favorite shows.

My name is Larry Hamp. I've worked for DirecTV's international group for 2 years...and customers regularly called to thank me for helping them access news and events from their homeland...reacquaint their children with their own culture and mother tongue...and help their non-English-speaking parents feel right at home.

I won't even go into how excited the cricket and soccer fans were to watch live footage from their homeland!

Some people have even used our cross-cultural programming to learn the language of another culture. These have been students or people who were going outside the United States either on business or holiday. This "cultural immersion" helped them to learn a foreign language and culture faster than traditional means like classrooms and tape sets.

Janet Elder, from Ludowici, GA, certainly thought International Satellite TV programming was the best thing that had happened to her. She wrote in to say, "I live in a rural area and up until I got DISH Network I could only get 4 channels and one of those was iffy some days! Man, when I found out I could get a small satellite dish and get several rooms wired too, I was ecstatic about it! It brought the 20th century to the country!"

Is It Right For You?

However, this level of sophisticated communications technology is not for everyone; it is only for those who love to be informed, educated, and entertained; it is only for those who want to be in touch with global events. Sadly, many people are not curious about what's going on outside their small circle of friends and their local community. They are quickly bored if the topic of conversation is not about their family their home, their car, or their job.

But I know you're here because you belong to an elite class of people who love to learn about our great world. You know from experience that this great big world all around you has much to inform and delight you. In fact, you may be wondering how broad our reach is in putting you in touch with a global community. How well can we keep you informed of international events and enhance your sense of cultural appreciation?

In addition, we continue to offer more and more high definition channels everyday.

Here's what customer Duane Cernousek, from Holdrege, NE., had to say about how we rank in relation to other service providers.

"I've made the switch from cable to DISH less than 6 months ago and I am so happy with the change. After comparing the major players DISH Network was the way to go. Now with DISH I receive more channels and have a DVR which I can record off one receiver while I watch another channel and it only is costing me 50 cents more a month. Now that's what I call real value. The real plus is the people working for DISH. DISH employees were friendly when I placed my order and the installation went smooth. They even called us later to check and see how we were doing and if we had any questions. You don't get that with Cable. Thanks a lot, sorry it took me so long to change but I'm sure spreading the word now!"

We Take Care Of You

"Yes, " you may be asking, "but what about technical support and customer service?"

"So how," you may be wondering, "do you get started? What's involved?"

Here it is in a nutshell:

The first part of getting satellite TV is to order your free equipment and schedule free installation. All of DirecTV's WorldDirect programming except JadeWorld and Para Todos require that you order an international dish. This is free along with your equipment and installation. Some of Dish Network's programming requires a Super Dish. We will help you decide what dish you will need for best reception.

My Email

I was impressed to find out that my DirecTV service with my EarthLink DSL is cheaper than my cable bundle. Greg T. Tyler, TX

"Thank you for the great Direct TV deal that I found on ExpertSatellite.com. Your helpful staff followed up with me immediately after I placed my online order. They walked me through the whole process and provided great customer service. The installation was smooth and painless too. I just received my FREE DVD Player as well. I typically never write a thank you note to a business but couldn't resist. Thanks again!" - M. Manson, Sacramento, CA

After 4 HD boxes breaking, my local cable company said it would be three months before they got any new ones in. I got DISH Network within three days and have never looked back. I love the high definition box I have in my home theatre downstairs. HBO and Showtime original programming have never looked better on the big screen. - Mark, Abingdon, VA
