DIRECTV
Since DIRECTV launched in 1994, NRTC members have offered digital video and audio entertainment to customers in their communities. Through an exclusive agreement between NRTC and DIRECTV, consumers living in rural America were among the first to experience this quality service. Using direct broadcast satellite (DBS) technology, DIRECTV delivers hundreds of channels of digital video and audio programming through a small, affordable dish and receiver.
DIRECTV subscribers served by NRTC DIRECTV Retailer/Servicers receive a monthly programming statement directly from the NRTC member or affiliate, which also serves as the DIRECTV customer service provider for that area.
NRTC offers marketing, equipment and other business support to its members that provide DIRECTV service.
