Direct TV is a direct broadcast satellite service, which transmits digital satellite television and audio to households in the United States. Its primary competitors are Dish Network and cable providers. The service was launched on June 17, 1994 and is now owned by The DirecTV Group.
Directv has its own network called The 101 Network, available only to DirecTV subscribers in the United States. Most subscribers use reception antennas which are much smaller than the first generation services, which used antennas a few yards (meters) across. The small antenna size is a characteristic of direct broadcast satellite (DBS) service, which uses more powerful satellite transmissions than previous satellites could produce.
