If you have been searching the internet for information on satellite TV then you have more than likely seen the numerous ads claiming that you can get free satellite TV from Direct TV or DishNetwork.

At first glance these ads can be very misleading with headlines such as:

- Free Direct TV or Dish Satellite TV

- Free Satellite TV from Direct TV - Get the Best Deal

- Direct TV for free

- Get free satellite TV from Direct TV

- Free Direct TV

- Direct TV at zero cost to you

These are just a small sampling of the thousands of ads you will find when searching for the best satellite TV deals online.

upon further investigation you will discover that there is no such thing as free satellite TV offers from Direct TV or DISH.

The offers at hand are actually for free satellite TV equipment, which by the way is an excellent deal if you are considering moving over to satellite.

Although you will find hundreds of Direct TV dealers and affiliates claiming to offer the best deals, the truth is that they are all offering virtually the same thing because it all boils down to what Direct TV (the main provider) has authorized.

So it is important to sign up with a Direct TV dealer on the merits of their experience,longevity, service and customer satisfaction.

Remember that there is no direct TV retailer that can offer you a better deal than another retailer, because they have all been authorized by DIRECT TV corporate headquarters to offer the exact same deal.

Direct TV is currently offering the following:

-Monthly rates are cheaper than Cable

-FREE! Direct TV Satellite TV System

-FREE! Direct TV Installation

-FREE! DVD player

-FREE! Shipping

So remember the next time you see a headline claiming to be giving away free satellite TV, don't get too excited because although you will save BIG TIME on the equipment, you will still have to pay for the programming.
