Satellite TV offers better deals than any cable TV! Here's why.
By Teddy LC
Satellite TV offers better deals than any cable TV! Here's why. By Teddy LC In the past, many cable systems operate as local monopolies in the United States, as cable companies typically receive exclusive rights to serve a region as a result of a franchise agreement with a local government. In some areas that are changing as competition has been allowed to enter the market, including, in some cases, city run cable systems. The rise of satellite broadcast system (Dish Network and DirecTV), which provide the same type of programming using small satellite receivers, has also provided competition to cable systems.
In fact, since Dish Network and DirecTV were officially launched in 90s, millions had switched from cable to Dish Network. Interested to know why is the big move? Here are the top three reasons!
Money wise
Money talks and money leads. One of the main reasons why Dish Network and DirecTV so popular nowadays is because Dish Network offers much better bargains when compare to cable providers. Cable monthly subscription fees ranged around $40 for the basics programming packages. Extra digital or sports channels require additional fees.
Satellite providers however offer a much lower monthly cost to their users. Dish Network's basic package starts at $29.99 while DirecTV's at $31.99. Additional sport packages will cost extra $5 to $10. With promotions offered by certain retailers, Dish Network packages are sometimes even cheaper with $19.99/month.
Programming selections
Programming choice is what separate cable and satellite the most. Satellite
offers a wide range of programming selections; while with cable the programming options are rather limited.
You can easily get up to hundreds of programming channels with satellite systems. With cable TV, you get support of 90+ channels for the basic packages. Further more, satellite channels are all digital broadcast, meaning that all your satellite pictures are all 100% digitized. On the other hand, cable are mostly analog signals. Digital channels on cable might cost you extra subscription fees ranged from $10 - $15.
Equipment systems
Equipment Cable systems require a cable to be installed from the network to your house. If your street has no cable you may need to wait a while before it is available in your area. Besides the cable you need a receiver. With digital services you need an additional box. Dish Network requires a satellite dish, a receiver and a cable from the dish to your (no digging in your garden).
To get a cable services, you need to buy your own cable systems that might cost you around hundred bucks or more. For Dish Network or DirecTV, you get free satellite systems for free up to four rooms. All you need to be is that you are their first time customers and you are ready to commit a one year subscription contracts. Some of these equipments are even granted with life-time warranty!
Viewing on the points listed above, it is no doubt that why J.D. Power and Associates has ranked Dish Network and DirecTV as the top broadcasting companies. Both DirecTV and Dish Network are higher in customer satisfaction than any of the cable companies for the last five years.
Due to the popularity of satellite TV, dealers have sprung up all over the place promising the best deals and the best service. Some are Internet scams and provide lots of fake deals.
