There is no other way to say it, if you got money to burn and love watching TV, and if you have Dish Network or cable then you are missing out on the greatest offer for everything and I mean everything. DIRECTV has the Titanium package that you have to have.

The Titanium package is an exclusive product for customers who want the ultimate home satellite entertainment experience that giver you an all access pass to everything DIRECTV has to offer.

This package is only available to residential customers who are in good status with DIRECTV. So when I say everything, your probably wondering what I mean. Well you get…

The Total Choice Premier Package which includes over 285 channels plus HBO, Starz, Showtime, Cinemax, and the Sports Pack that has a value of $100.

All receivers require being connected into a land based telephone line in order to access unlimited Pay Per View and Pay Per View Event availability. The values of Pay Per Views range anywhere from $3.99 to $99, but you get them all with just the change of the channel. Not only do you receive unlimited Pay Per View's, you also receive unlimited Adult programming just by the change of a channel. However blackouts do apply, some states and areas do not allow adult programming.

DIRECTV offers 8 different Adult channels that are normally purchased in time slots of minutes or hours. Hustler TV is $11 for 90 minutes, Spice Wild is $11 for 90 minutes, Hot Network is $11 for 90 minutes, Ten is $11 for 90 minutes, Playboy Pay Per View is $9 for 4 hours, Ten Clips is $11 for 90 minutes, Adult Pay Per View Channel is $15 for 3 hours, and Playboy can be purchased for $16 a month. Think of all the money that you would put into ordering when with the Titanium package you don't have to worry about ordering it, just turn to that channel.

You can also receive all the sport subscriptions, but again, blackouts and game availability apply. A lot of sports teams own the rights to only give availability to specific areas to view their games as well as specific channels to show them. Some areas also state that they will not give the option to show games on local or other networks if the game is not sold out because they want people to go to the games and pay for tickets to see them, if it is sold out, then it will be broadcasted.

DIRECTV offers a great set of ten sports packages; NFL Sunday Ticket, Superfan, NCAA March Madness, NBA League Pass, MLB Extra Innings, NHL Center Ice, ESPN Full Court, ESPN Gameplan, MLS Direct Kick, and Setanta Sports. All together these sporting packages equal more than $1240.

You have the ability to get up to 10 receivers free at the time of the order and any receivers beyond the 10 receivers are charged the lease price to purchase. After you place your order and decide to call back to add more receivers, these additional receivers will cost you its original retail price to purchase. Add as many as you want to purchase because there is no limit!

You can choose any combination of standard, DVR, HD, or HD-DVR receivers. This is an awesome deal because normally to purchase standard receivers will run you around $100, DVR's even higher around $200, HD receivers are around $300, and HD-DVR receivers can cost you as much as $900.

Regardless if you have an HD receiver or HD-DVR receiver you still get the HD Package of 7 channels at $10 per month. But remember that you need to have an HDTV and an HD receiver in order to view theses channels. There is also a $6 DVR service fee that is billed to you regardless if there is a DVR on the account or not.

DIRECTV hasn't forgotten about the International Programming. You will receive all Spanish language channels, Jadeworld, International World Direct, and Cricket Ticket packages. Titanium customers also have access to Arabic, Caribbean, Chinese, Filipino, Italian, Korean, Russian, South Asian, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese programming available upon request and does require an additional second dish. All of this can total over $1500.

Having the Titanium package makes you a very important person in DIRECTV's eyes, and because you are a very important person you receiver your own customer service representative to assist you with all of your questions or issues twenty four hours a day seven days of the week.

You also receive free VIP custom installations with anything needed to get everything up and running. In some cases, if you call by 4pm you can get next day installations providing also that the technicians in the area are available for that day. If anything happens to your system, service calls can and will be performed on the same day if you call in reporting the issue by noon. Don't worry about equipment replacements or shipping and handling fees because that's all free.

So, after hearing all the goodies that you, the couch potato, can sit and enjoy for hours and hours on end, you are wondering what this is going to cost you. Well, you have to have a credit card, because this has to be automatically charged to your credit card annually. And the price is $7,500 per year. For some of you, that may seem a lot. But if you have a huge home with ten high definition televisions, you could pay out of pocket more than $5,000 for receivers. And don't forget, you get EVERYTHING!!!!

This offer is only available for a specific number of customers, so if you got the money and wan the shows, you have to get DIRECTV's Titanium Package.
