- This was the first infomercial for the then new RCA DSS (Digital Satellite System), it was first aired in 1995, it shows the early equipment along with the 2 content providers DirecTV and USSB (United States Satellite broadcasting). The source is a 1" C Format tape dub.
I saw this infomercial on TV back then and looking back! This is what DirecTV was before all the major changes!
Directv was the #1 choice of satellite tv pirates back in the day then!
Back in 1999, DIRECTV merged with USSB into one programming service when it was absorbed in a merger and acquisition, and bought PrimeStar in its acqusition. But in this infomercial, this was why logos were seen in this infomercial then, and now DIRECTV is an AT&T Company. Dish Network is now a Blockbuster Company, which used to be known as EchoStar. And in the end, we see why logos are different, and now more TV Channels Cable Networks are on the air on DIRECTV and Dish Network.
Erm, no. Blockbuster is a DISH company, not the other way around.
@@sillygoose635 Actually Silly Goose 635, Blockbuster is not a company anymore, Blockbuster Entertainment was first under Aaron Spelling's ownership and unit in the mid 90's, and Aaron Spelling's own TV programs were folded into CBS Studios.
The king of satellite tv back in the day when it first started!
My parents got DSS and DIRECTV before back in 1995.
Ha! Funny they would have an infomercial for these- people who watch infomercials were good candidates for buying these since they show so many infomercials on it!
I remember buying my satellite in January 1999. At the time I was astonished. LoL
This ad was from Spring 1995
Is it just me or does this look like something chadtronic would watch and post on UA-cam
Let’s get chadtropics to watch it lol yes I said chadtropicks
Yeah, I now thing it's something Chair-Tronic could've reviewed!
In the mid 90s it was possible to have 2 content providers DirecTV and USSB in a RCA DSS satellite dish and a RCA DSS satellite receiver/decoder? I think if.
Patrick Stewart's best performance
Both dogs at the beginning are dead.
MourningBreakfast They actually died over a century ago. Even before this promo was made.
well, that's depressing...
I know 😭 I always think about stuff like that too. "Welp, that's 15+ years ago, dogs probably gone." 😭
They used some actor Dogs
20:09 is this even an accurate graph? Since when did laser disc outsell CD players in first year sales?
I’m sold. Where do I sign up?
Did anyone notice the Indian outlaw by Tim McGraw.
Mah Boi Sully doing the Announcer of DirecTV
I think that's Jerry Houser, actually
I remembered seeing directv at my local sears store in 1995-96. I really wanted to get a dish. I just recently got directv and now it's a complete piece of crap. I'd rather have spectrum cable tv or youtube tv. The quality and features on those are much better. And you get better content.
No true Spectrum sucks by the internet is good if I want TV I go with DirecTV
We covered every NFL team including a team with pewter helmet chrome face mask big flag logo and uniform numbers look like digital clocks
We had that space junk for 18 years and 4 summer Olympics including Michael Phelps

Hi my name is AJ
.... No interest until 1996?.... Oh crap I'm just a little late... doh!!
Aquí en Guatemala solo hay direct TV RCA pocas personas usan
DIRECTV uso de estos equipos hasta que cambio a Pace
Directv had plenty of room to innovate, they should've done what Elon Musk is doing right now, lunching their own internet service, the room for growth was nearly unlimited.
