Satellite Television
Getting Better Every Day

Although the majority of Americans still subscribe to cable, over 20 million have made the switch to satellite tv.  Why?  For starters, satellite provides 100% digital channels, beamed directly to your house.  Cable, on the other hand, receives their signals from satellites, and then sends their signal through complicated and oftentimes antiquated cable lines until that signal finally reaches your home.  When the cable does get to your house, the signal is not nearly as strong as that of satellite.  This results in lower picture and sound quality.

Getting set up with a satellite system is easy and inexpensive.  Because the two major satellite providers are competing against each other and the cable companies to win your business, they offer steep discounts on their services, superior customer service, and free equipment.  When you order satellite, you can be set up in as little as a day in some areas.  Cable companies can make you wait days, even weeks before hooking up your connection.

In the early days of satellite, reliability was a problem for some.  Such is no longer the case.  The threat of losing your signal during thunderstorms or other weather problems has disappeared.  You can get top notch reception rain or shine.

Another common misconception about satellite television is that you cannot get local channels.  That was the case for some people in the past.  Now, however, local channels are available to up to 95% of satellite customers.  Plus, the extra charge for local channels has become a thing of the past.  Satellite providers offer local channels in most markets at no extra cost.

Choosing satellite over cable is a no-brainer.  Who wouldn't want a better product at a lower price?  The only real decision that needs to be made is which satellite provider to choose.
