I think we are the only ones in our neighborhood who does not have cable TV yet. I have been looking for a reliable Satellite TV Provider ever since we moved two years ago and still, no such luck. It’s a good thing that DIRECTV is set to be offered here soon, I vastly prefer it over cable for the ff. reasons:

• Over 130 full time HD channels
• More sports channels (for the husband)
• DVR scheduler

There are packages offered by DirectSatTV.com that are affordable. We just need to make sure we choose the best package for our family.

I would always choose the package with the DVR though, since I know I wouldnt be able to squeeze in some tube time between cartoons and NFL!

Can you guess which among the new Fall TV show is a hit?
Glee, the American musical comedy drama series, seems to be the runaway winner. Audiences checked in at 9.619 million viewers on its broadcast episode and viewers have since been hooked! (Can you tell I am too?) The brainchild of Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Ian Brennan focuses on a high school show choir, also known as a glee club, set within the fictional William McKinley High School in Lima, Ohio. And while there are criticisms that the story line is far from original, most have been praising the talent and musical score of the show, with its songs selling like hotcakes over at iTunes the night after of every episode!

It’s actually a good thing that I finally caved in and subscribed to DIRECTV HD – I get to DVR everything if there would a conflict with the husband’s sports (NFL mostly) shows. We mainly got it because of it and I was sold when one of the Direct TV Packages offered a free HD  DVR receiver upgrade when we chose to subscribe for 5 months. It also did not hurt that one of the Directv Channels was HGTV!

I leave you with this:

April: There was a time I was the biggest star around here. And now that I’ve gotten that back, I’m never letting it go.
