Cable TV Versus Satellite TV, Who Wins

By Casy Wigwire

Television programming is an important decision for us and our families because it affects our relaxation time and our pocket books. Some of us are way too busy for television and the most basic option will do. For the rest of us there are a number of factors that play into that decision and it takes a little research. First off do we want satellite or cable television? If satellite, do we want Dish Network or Directv? What package is best? You have to ponder what programs you want and what your budget will be. Do you have obstructions for a satellite signal? What experiences have you had so far and have they been positive or negative? Some of us want a new option because we are frustrated with the current choice. No matter the reason, there are some obvious differences.

Let's start with satellite versus cable television. Cable has one advantage for you. It will offer you some local channels, including news channels that may not be available on satellite. This may be important to you. After that however the advantages all point to satellite. You get way more channels at a much better price. Understand that local cable companies have the monopoly and charge accordingly. Satellite companies have the entire nation and must compete with one another. You will get the best price for sure. With cable companies you must weed through their offers and find the channels you want. You may have to pay for a certain group of channels just to get the one you desire. This cost adds up. With satellite it will be a package of 100 or 200 channels, a much easier decision.

That's not all. What about music? If you find this to be important the variety you get on satellite is twice over. The picture as well is much better, all digital, rather than only a portion of it. The only knock on the satellite option at all is the weather factor. Depending on where you live this may be a concern. In most cases there are not enough lost programs to worry about.

Dish Network and Directv are the top satellite companies. Both are good and can service your needs. Customer service is important when problems arise and these companies will do more to keep your business than cable companies. Directv seems to be the better option between the two. It has way more HD channels at a way better price. Again, this is the way of the future. You also can get 200 channels at a better rate than Dish.

In the end though it might be a promotion that gets you enticed, free equipment and free installation is available right now with Directv. You may as well deal straight with them when setting yourself up. This way you are shown true customer service right from the start. So if you are thinking about a change and what option is best in our high quality world, Directv satellite seems to be the best option today for all our television needs. - 18762
