Cable TV versus Satellite Dish

Cable TV without any doubt has a loyal fan base; however satellite TV has so many advantages and edge over cable TV that has made it the preferred option.

The most popular cable claim is the “weather claim”. Cable companies claim that satellite TV reception is always prone to the elements. False – both Dish Network and DirecTV both deliver quality uninterrupted signals 99.97% of the time, regardless of what the elements are (shine, rain or snow).

The second claim is that cable is available everywhere and satellite TV is not.  Yet another false claim, cable is actually only available to about 97-98% of the US whereas satellite TV is available to everyone in the continental USA– 100%.

They also claim Satellite TV providers don’t offer local channels. Whereas both major providers provide 94% of America with local channels. I bet you have also heard of Cable offering better picture quality than satellite TV DOES. False; Satellite TV providers actually offer 100% digital quality pictures all day everyday.

Satellite TV without an ounce of doubt has an obvious edge over cable TV in lots of areas such as picture quality, programming [local and international], affordability, deals and customer services.

Affordability, package and programming as well as the technology are major factors that are driving more users to satellite TV. Compared to cable, satellite TV offers a wide variety of channels, a greater value and superior customer service plus 100% digital quality on every channel. Satellite TV programming is 100% digital whereas you would have to pay extra to get the same thing from cable TV. Most satellite TV DVR service costs less than cable DVR services. For less than the price of basic cable you can get more satellite TV channels. Set up and installation is extremely easy and handled by professionals. Often times it’s free but never expensive rather it’s ever affordable.
