With DIRECTV’s SignalSaver Feature You’ll Never Miss a Moment

DIRECTV delivers 99% reliability on satellite today, among the highest reliability of any nationwide satellite or cable provider. While offering a stable satellite experience to millions of Americans every day, we know you want to watch your favorite shows and teams 100% of the time.

A significant milestone on that journey has been reached with the launch of an industry-first experience that taps into both the power of beaming over a satellite and saving your signal when you have an internet-connected set-top box.

SignalSaver to Save the Play

With the introduction of SignalSaver, DIRECTV customers can begin watching on their satellite and choose to continue live viewing tapping into a reliable internet connection.

For example, let’s say it’s the 4th quarter of the College Football Playoff championship game and in the last minute a storm moves in threatening your satellite signal. With SignalSaver, a customer with an internet-connected set-top box can switch over to streaming to pick up right where beam left off.

  • Full DVR functionality is not available but is expected soon along with some other important features.
