DIRECTV Updates Spring Offer!

DIRECTV has updated the spring offer so that now everyone in the country can get $18 off per month for 12 months. This move now gives people in some markets an extra $60 off when ordering new service.

NCAA MEGA MARCH MADNESS

The NCAA Tournament will start in only a few days and currently the best way to watch all the tournament action is with the NCAA MEGA MARCH MADNESS package from DIRECTV. This package is really a must for all the college basketball fans out there. Not only can you watch up to 4 games on one screen, there are many games in HD, and there is an interactive bracket that once you fill it out, it will automatically update itself as the games end. This is just one more reason that DIRECTV is the leader in Sports for satellite providers.

Pioneer Exits Plasma TV Production

Pioneer Electronics announced that it is exiting the Plasma TV Production business. The company will still market Plasma TVs, but the components will be from another manufacturer, which is rumored to be Panasonic. Pioneer also announced that they will enter the LCD TV market as early as this fall, thanks to a recent agreement with Sharp. I personally hope this will not affect the quality of their Plasma TV line, which has made enormous gains recently with the introduction of the KURO line of Plasma TVs. The KURO line currently has the best black levels in the industry and also the best overall picture quality in my opinion.

New Panasonic Plasma Now Shipping

Panasonic has begun shipping its newest line of Plasma TVs. The newest addition is that Panasonic will now offer a 46" Plasma TV. One of the other new features is that the 800U series will be THX certified. The Panasonic TH-42PX80U and the Panasonic TH-50PX80U are now shipping and both units claim a native 15,000:1 and dynamic 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio. Panasonic will release the remainder of the new models throughout the spring and all should be shipping by summer.
