You can get good science and nature programming from any programming service provider and the same goes for many other types of programming, but sports programming is different in a few ways.

 

To start with, their as a wide variety of sports programming that is available to programming service providers to acquire on the open market to make available for their subscribers to watch on their TVs. This variety of sports programming comes in many different grades just like cuts of meat in the grocery store, so while one service provider can choose to load up on the cheaper grades of sports programming, another such as DirecTV can load up on the choicer and more expensive cuts of sports programming to bring home to their family of sports fans.

 

 The less than premium grade of sports channels are the ones that have the reruns and the sports shows that can be sometimes less than optimal, but they can have interesting sports on them from time to time. DirecTV has some of these channels for their viewers and this is where you are going to find some of the more obscure sport programming that comes from all corners of the planet.

 

DirecTV has twenty-five channels of certified premium sports programming though and this is something that you will only find with DirecTV. All twenty-five of these premium channels are where you are going to find only the best in professional and top ranked college sports.

 

 NFL football, Pro baseball and basketball, the best in international soccer, Pro Rodeo, the best in motor sports of all types, all of the latest and most thrilling in extreme sports, Boxing, full contact martial arts including all of the bare fist fighting that has become so popular and the list just goes on an on.

 

When you have twenty-five premium sports channels at your finger tips you have a lot of sports contests and games to surf through. What qualifies DirecTV as the leader in sports programming is so much more than that though. They also have DVR Powered by TiVo available for you in your Hughes receiver if you want it. This is the feature that gives you the option of instant slow motion replays along with the ability to zip right past commercials that come on during your games.

 

You can also use TiVo to stop any event or program and then restart it right where it left off when you return to the TV. DirecTV has even more for its sports fans in the way of ultra-premium sports programming channels that can be added to any one of their Total Choice programming packages, including their base level economically priced family choice package.

 

 These two channels are NFL Sunday Ticket and NCAA Mega March Madness and they are both one of kind sports channels that you can’t get from any other programming service provider because only DirecTV has exclusive rights to them. If you are looking for sports programming then DirecTV is worth giving a close examination.
