I think it always a good thing while you are working to have some kind of noise in the background. Even if you are not paying attention to the noise or where it is coming from, I think having some kind of ‘distraction’ helps you out. I think that must be the reason that some places offer direct tv for lobby settings. It is so easy to set up a television inside an office that you would be silly not to do it.

If you have customers coming in and having to wait a certain amount of time, having a television there to distract them from the wait would make them a little less cranky about it. That is why it is a good business move and you often see direct tv for hospitals . I know there was a few times when I went to the doctors during my pregnancy where it was a bit of a wait but I just sat there and zoned out on television!

You get so many channels that there would definitely be something that is related in some way to your work. Heck, even putting a channel that has nothing but infomercials into it would give people something to listen to while they work and customers to watch while they wait!

You could always check something out such as http://www.dishbusiness.com/index.shtml which would give you some great deals and a lot of channels.

I will tell you that I am a whole lot more productive when I have something in the background in order to distract me a little so that I do not become so bored with what I am currently doing. It’s just some food for thought, that’s all!
