Satellite TV Versus Cable TV
By Adi Azar

Choosing the right choice for your home TV can be really tricky. People see all the online
advertisement about Cable TV, and about satellite TV and every advertisement claim that its publisher
offer best service, and best price. As such, it is very hard for consumers to know what is really the best
in terms of quality, and price.

Current cable television customers know the reality of cable all too well: the bills keep getting bigger
and the service keeps getting poorer.

Cable subscribers around the country are subject to constant rate hikes and some of the worst
customer service of any industry in existence today. Two or three cable companies have a virtual
monopoly on the market, and they seem oblivious to widespread dissatisfaction with their product,
pricing, and support. Between taxes, monthly subscription fees, and equipment rental charges, cable
subscribers are consistently paying far too much for the quality of the service they receive.

Satellite TV offers an alternative to these frustrations. With most retailers offering free installation, you
can start enjoying satellite TV for as low as $24.99 a month! What's more, the satellite dish and
receiver are yours to keep, so you won't need to pay a monthly rental charge or worry about returning
the equipment if you move.

Satellite TV delivers 100% digital audio and video. Despite the incredible distance that the signal must
travel before it reaches your television, the end result is still crystal clear and equal to any digital cable
picture! As long as you have an unobstructed view of the southern sky, the only threat to the quality of
your signal is very heavy rain or snow, which can occasionally interfere with reception. If you live in an
area with frequent severe weather, you can always get a slightly larger dish to offset the interference.

But what about service? Not surprisingly, satellite TV wins there as well. The proof is in a study
conducted by the respected research firm JD Power and Associates, which compared customer
satisfaction with satellite TV providers and all the major cable companies. The results were clear --
both Direct TV and Dish Network received the highest possible scores in almost every category,
including reliability, cost, and customer service. In contrast, the major cable companies' scores were
not even close.

For expatriates, students, language buffs, and others, satellite TV is a great way to receive
foreign-language programming. Both Direct TV and Dish Network offer foreign channels, though Dish
Network currently has a greater selection of language choices, including Arabic, Russian, Korean and
many others; VOOM does not currently offer any foreign channels. If you want to receive foreign
programming, you will need to purchase a separate satellite dish, which must be aimed at different
satellite than your standard dish.

From our experience, cable customers have one single advantage. They are always sure that they will
get acceptable quality. If the company connects you with a cable, the signal certainly going to reach
your home. However, if you use satellite TV, the signal quality depends on your location.

There's a battle going on between Cable TV and Satellite TV. Many people wonder what the best
choice really is. The best choice may lay in these factors:
Popularity

Both Cable TV and Satellite TV are popular. Although cable still is more popular overall, satellite TV
has made huge gains on cable TV.
Equipment

Cable TV 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.

Satellite TV requires a satellite dish, a receiver and a cable from the dish to your TV (no digging in your
garden).
Reception Quality

Cable TV has analog channels and even though you can upgrade to digital services, analog channels
will still be analog, meaning an often fuzzy picture. Satellite TV is completely digital, which gives you all
the advantages of digital systems. Very heavy rain or snow can obstruct reception briefly, but generally
this happens very rarely. Reception quality is much better with Satellite TV.

Programming

Here it gets really interesting. Cable TV can handle up to 260 channels. Satellite TV can handle more
channels. Also, Satellite TV is more advanced in HDTV (High Definition Television) services.
Pricing

Usually Satellite TV is less expensive than Cable TV due to many additional costs that are related to
Cable TV: franchise fees, taxes, plus costs for any pay per view services, and equipment costs. Dish
Network Programming Package starts at only $29.99 per month.

Interactive Services

In general Satellite TV has more interactive services than Cable TV. Digital services like Dish
Network's DVR (Digital Video Recorder) which gives the option to rewind while recording even in live
broadcasts, EPG (Electronic Program Guide), Instant Weather, video on demand, etc. are all available
on Satellite TV, but not all are available on Cable TV.
High Speed Internet

Cable has high speed broadband internet services. Satellite has this too, but is somewhat slower.
Directv&reg: offers Direcway High Speed Internet, which is ultra fast but somewhat expensive.

Overall conclusion: Satellite TV is less expensive, has better picture quality (digital signal) and gives
you more channels and programming options than cable TV.
