DIRECTV

The DIRECTV page saved on 18 November 2008 said the shop sold receivers and programming and would install the equipment and set the receiver to work with what was already in the house. It said that install could be done within 48 hours of a visit or a call, and that a local dealer could include extras a national signup could not.

Figures written on that page: more than 225 channels, including local channels, 95 of them in HD, with more than 50 additional HD channels expected that fall, and local channels already offered in HD. The specials page paired NFL Sunday Ticket with an $18 credit on the first year for someone who did not want the football package. Those counts and that credit are the 2008 text. They are a record of that page, and DIRECTV publishes today's packages on its own site.

A dish needs a clear view of the southern sky and a coax run to the receiver. The promotions address, directv_promotions.html, now lands here. The 2008 audio and television pages both linked to this counter.
