How To Choose Between Cable TV and Satellite TV


by: Jon Arnold
 
First of all, virtually nobody has an antenna anymore to watch TV, not even my grandparents who live literally in the middle of nowhere. It just doesn’t make sense and with the new technologies and broadcast standards coming into play within the next few years, it is a major question mark as to whether or not traditional broadcast TV will even be available. So you have two choices, how do you decide what is best for you?

Cable TV is a good option. Not excellent, perhaps not the best, but good. On the plus side, cable TV provides good picture clarity, good reception, and very few problems. Most cable TV providers can also give you HDTV (High Definition TV), although they will charge you more for it and you will need an enhanced cable box to really take advantage of all that HDTV brings to the table. And of course, the TV that you own must be able to display HDTV, and if your TV was manufactured more than 3-5 years ago, that might be a huge question mark that you should find out before you pay extra money for HDTV capabilities.

On the downside, it is expensive, typically a noticeable amount more expensive than the satellite TV counterpart. The basic cable service gives you a truckload of channels to choose from and you can also opt for (at additional cost) to have a Chinese menu of premium channels available, like sports channels, various movie channels, and more.

One thing to note is that your cable company MAY be willing to cut you a deal if they are also providing you with high-speed cable Internet access. It is worth checking into, but keep the bottom line cost in mind, as it really may not be a deal at all. Your cable company is probably also willing to provide you with a VOIP phone where you can make and receive phone calls over your high-speed Internet connection. Be aware of this because getting VOIP service from your cable provider is very likely your WORST and most cost INEFFECTIVE option! See my other articles on VOIP phone service in this directory for more details on that aspect.

Satellite TV is typically a better choice, and almost always more cost effective. Yes, you can still get HDTV with a satellite TV connection. The picture quality will be equal to or better than what you get with cable. Your satellite dish will need to be mounted on the outside of your house and will require a clear and unobstructed view of the southern sky (in the US). The only real detriment to satellite TV is the fact that the picture quality can degrade during times of heavy rain or heavy snow. If you live in an area where this might be a frequent occurrence, this problem can be resolved for the most part by opting for a larger satellite dish, which will be more efficient at capturing the signals.

If you live in a rental house or an apartment, you will likely need to get permission from your landlord to mount your satellite dish on the building. If your particular neighborhood is big on aesthetics, they may not allow this, so be sure you have permission before placing your order.

The major satellite TV providers today, Dish Networks and DirecTV, typically offer free installation in up to 4 rooms of your home, and also provide free equipment, sometimes also including a DVR (Digital Video Recorder). During promos, you can sometimes also get about 3 free months of movie channels and sports channels to see if you like them. The provider is of course hoping you will like them and upgrade your account to include those channels.

From a picture quality perspective, both options are good. From a cost perspective, satellite wins almost every time.Understand the pros and cons of each choice so you can make the decision that is best for your particular situation. 

Satellite TV: More Channels Than Cable And Less Expensive, Too!

Many people have satellite TV and there’s a very good reason for it: you get almost unlimited channels and it’s a price that most anyone can afford. When you compare satellite TV to its cable counterpart, you will automatically notice a difference in the amount of channels you get to choose from. With a cable package, you get to choose from different packages, and you have to pay more for premium channels, such as HBO or Cinemax.

More Channels Than You Can Handle

With satellite TV, you get all the channels in one package. That’s because the satellite dish that you have installed on or near your home is able to pick up many channels that your cable TV provider can’t offer you. 

Free Installation With Some Carriers!

The best part about satellite TV is that most carriers will offer free installation. You simply pay a small monthly fee, such as ten dollars a month, and you get a technician to come out to your house to install your satellite dish. You can have all those channels at your fingertips in the same day as you pick up the phone and call the satellite TV carrier of your choice.

A Few Drawbacks

There are some drawbacks to satellite TV that should be noted before a person commits to a contract. For one, satellite, unlike cable, can be affected by the weather. If the conditions are hostile, such as a bad thunderstorm, your satellite TV may not work as well or the picture won’t come in as clear.

Another drawback is that you may have to adjust your dish, depending on which channels you want. Most satellite TV carriers offer a remote that allows you to change the position of your dish, but many see this as a hassle. With cable, you simply choose a channel and you don’t have to worry that your cable box is pointed a certain way.

Satellite TV owners obviously don’t mind the drawbacks, as they are quite minute, and there are many satellite TV owners today. So, if you’re looking for an almost unlimited choice of channels at a price you can easily afford, call your local satellite TV provider today. A technician will soon visit your house and, in minutes, you’ll be able to surf the many channels that you wouldn’t be able to see if you had chosen cable TV.
  


Is Cable TV A Monthly Fee Addiction?

by: Lautaro Fernandez

Have you ever thought how many people pay for watching cable TV in USA alone? Almost 60% of the population! Maybe you are one of them. Maybe you are paying month after month, year after year, large amounts of money for getting a lot of garbage of content on your TV. I don’t judge you! I’ve thought myself about paying for cable TV many times. We all have thought that being able to watch plenty of HDTV channels with a possible ‘better and actual’ content would make our lives more exciting.

Well, actually that’s not the case.. The content of most of these TV channels from cable TV companies is far from great. Movies, TV series, TV shows, music videos, are most of the time repeated over and over again. You get very often the same movies, same TV series, same music videos, same, same, same, over and over again!  


And, what about the news? Well, as far as you are reading you might be thinking that the stories being told in the news are more accurate, and that you get better informed with cable TV. And you may think: “of course, I pay for it!” Is that true? Well, this is false too. You get more one-sided stories and from fewer sources with cable TV. You can find some interesting information about the news in cable TV here

Is there any cheap alternative to cable TV? Is it possible to watch even more channels with greater content without paying monthly fees? The answer to these questions is a satellite TV software for your PC. Satellite TV is a way of getting more than 3500 channels from all over the world on your PC (also available for MAC users) for one time fee, 24/7, with no bandwidth limits. And you will never have to pay ever again for using it. You can use it in different computers and it is legal. But there is something very important to mention. You must have a good Internet connection. With broadband Internet connection you are able to use it without any problem and the software is very easy to install. It might be important to know that you are able to block those channels that your children are not allowed to see. There are some other important things to mention about satellite TV software and that is that the stability and HD quality of the channels with satellite TV software is less than with cable TV.

Although satellite TV software is not perfect, it is important to consider it as a way to save lots of money in your home expenses and to get access to a lot more interesting channels than with cable TV.
