DIRECTV Satellite TV is still a great option for a lot of people. In fact AT&T’s management has started pointing out what a great choice it is for rural areas. So, how does DIRECTV work in a farm environment?
DIRECTV in multiple buildings
One of the concerns that people have about satellite TV is how to get it to multiple buildings. It can be expensive to run multiple satellite cables from building to building. You can use a single-cable solution but then you run into distance limitations. If you are using a single wire, the limit for distance is usually about 150 cable-feet. That isn’t as long as you would thing when you consider the up and down, the extra cables, and that sort of thing.
The good news is that you can put a dish on every single building and avoid that problem. While this means you may not be able to share recorded programs, it does mean that every single building on the farm can get satellite TV. The cost isn’t really that much higher and it’s a one-time expense. There’s no additional cost required for multiple dishes on a month-to-month basis.
Internet concerns
People in really rural areas always worry about internet connectivity. Sometimes the local internet provider won’t even cover a farm. This means that people choose satellite internet, which is a good option but sometimes comes with limitations. You may have metered data or data caps.
It’s perfectly possible to use all DIRECTV equipment without it connecting to the internet. Of course you’re going to lose out on some features but that’s to be expected. The point is that your DIRECTV system doesn’t have to eat through all your data if you don’t want.
