While a huge draw for Direct TV's fifteen and a half million subscribers is the massive amount of quality television programming provided by its hundreds of channels, the great television technology that's provided with every subscription goes a long way toward keeping those subscribers happy and satisfied.
All of Direct TV's programming starts out at transmission stations where if it isn't already in digital television format, it's converted into digital television format. Then all of the programming is encrypted to prevent people who don't subscribe to Direct TV's service from stealing it. Once the programming has been converted and encrypted, it's compressed using either MPEG-2 or MPEG-4 data compression technologies and transmitted up to a fleet of satellites in geosynchronous orbit above the Earth's equator. Those satellites then send all of the programming back down to the Earth's surface where satellite dishes all over North America can pick it up. Those satellite dishes then send the programming to Direct TV's satellite receivers which decompress it, decrypt it, cleanse it of interference, and make it available to display on television screens in a high quality picture that can't be matched by an old fashioned analog television signal that just travels across town.
Along with great programming and a great picture, Direct TV also provides interactive features with all subscriptions. These interactive features include things that will help make hundreds of channels manageable and enhance the enjoyment of the satellite TV experience. The central feature to all of this is the on screen program guide. The on screen program guide provides interactive listings of every program on every channel available from Direct TV. Each listing includes the year the program was made, who stars in it, what it's rated (if applicable), and often comes with a brief summary of the plot. Scrolling through the on screen program guide is a much more efficient way to decide what to watch than surfing through the channels would be, and can even tell you what's available to watch in the future.
Another valuable interactive feature that's included on all of its subscriptions is Parental Control capability. Parental Controls allow you to block inappropriate programming from being accessed by your children. You make the rules for what they can and can't watch based on MPAA ratings, channel, time of day, or even specific TV show. You can also set spending limits on Pay Per View programming. Best of all, you can still watch what you want with the use of your own personal identification number.
Direct TV subscribers can also enjoy access to optional technology. Digital Video Recording is a very popular example of what you can get through Direct TV. With a Digital Video Recorder you can record up to two hundred hours of the TV shows and movies that you want to watch again and again or the programming that you have to see, but can't be at home to watch when it first airs. A Digital Video Recorder is easy to program with the intuitive software supplied by Direct TV and because all of the video is stored on a built in hard disk, you won't have to worry about finding blank video tapes. Plus, because the video is recorded in all digital television format, you'll enjoy the same great high quality picture and sound that you would if you were watching the program directly off of the satellite signal.
With all of this great technology, you can't go wrong with Direct TV.

How many hours worth of surveillance will a Mpeg4 Digital Video Recorder with a 250GB hard drive hold?
I am purchasing a CCTV system for work. Awaiting answers to my inquireies made directly to various company sales reps. In the mean time I would like to see what those of you experienced with CCTV can tell me. I have seen systems with hard drives smaller than the one I am looking at claim to hold 3 weeks worth of 24/7 video. I do not know what kind of resolution this would be at. Basically I am wondering if a 250GB hard drive will give me adequate resolution (for identifying faces from under 10 feet) and at the same time, a few weeks worth of storage before I have to write over the drive, or back up the video on cdrom. Come on Holsbrook..what ya got for me? 
All of the other posters ahead of me are correct. My practical experience:
The security DVR in my home system is set to take a still every 4 seconds. There are four cameras pointed at different places. The DVR has a 200 gig drive (and can use up to 250 gig, I just did not get it at the time). The DVR has a feature that can detect motion in the camcorder's visual field - and you can specify the motion detection area. When motion is detected in the specified area, the DVR starts recording that camera's video feed at real-time. All four cameras can be recording in real-time simultaneously.
Admittedly, the areas covered are not that busy, so the 200 gig typically takes a little over 30 days to fill. Then, it is first-in/first out over-writing. The image resolution of the cameras will be just as important as the compression employed by the image storage firmware in the DVR... but at 10 feet, you should have little trouble identifying faces... this presumes a good angle on the camera (closer to horizontal is best).

Other considerations:
1) You might not need night vision.
2) CAT5 twisted pair cable works great - COAX for runs under 100 feet or not near fluorescent lighting or AC power is not necessary.
3) Get a good sized battery back-up. If there is a power outage, don't leave your system without power. You can use a big UPS that would normally power a computer for power back-up. Provide power to the cameras and the DVR - and at least one flat-screen monitor.
4) Secure - as in BIG BOLTS and strong straps - the DVR to something or have it in a locked (strong), well ventilated place (shelf, rack, whatever). Best to hide it. It would be a bummer to go through all this only to have the bad people just take the DVR (and hence, your evidence).
5) Consider having a small flatpanel monitor visible to show you really have a video surveillance system - and put "Alert" signs up, too. This *could* be a different system - so that bad people just figure out where the video cams cannot see and do bad stuff there... The "other system" would cover THOSE areas.
