Cable TV Falls Short Of Satellite TV

High Cost of Cable TV

By comparison Cable TV has several checkmarks against it. First, cable TV just plain costs too much money. And the monthly subscription costs of cable keep growing it seems like by the day. I used to have Comcast but I had to pay well over $100.00 and the channel selections weren’t even that good. I now have Dish Network and my monthly bill is only $19.99 per month. So I am saving tons of money every month by going with Dish Network Satellite Television.

Cable TV’s Poor Picture Quality

Another checkmark against cable is the very poor picture. Cable uses part analog and part digital signals making for a very poor viewing experience. With satellite television, all your programmin is in 100% digital format, making for a perfect picture. Rain can sometimes make your cable TV picture pixelate. That’s when the picture on your screen keeps breaking up over and over again. There are no pixelating problems associated with using satellite tv; you always get a crystal clear picture 100% of the time. Dish TV uses the very best cutting-edge technology, so no fears with Dish Network Satellite, you will always be able to enjoy a perfect picture, everytime you watch TV.

Cabel TV is Limited by Geography

Large areas of the country, still can’t even get cable tv, due to the terrain in that particular area. There are lots of reasons why this is the case. For instance in mountainous areas, sometimes it is just impossible to lay cable there. Satellite TV signals are sent down from the heavens, literally, so no problem sending the signal. Laying cable for cable TV also costs a lot of money. Due to this there are entire sections of America where cable companies just have not gotten around to laying cable there. This is why your local cable provider will often say “we’re sorry; but we don’t provide service to your area.”

Cable TV Downtimes

According to J.D. Power & Associates, cable tv goes out about 3-5% of the time! With satellite television this number is only 1%. And it can takes hours, and sometimes even days before your television service is restored again. With cable TV it seems like just about everytime it rains or storms out goes the television set. The rare occassions that your satellite service is down, usually can be remedied by simply unplugging the power cord, waiting a few seconds and then just plugging the power cord back in again.

As you can plainly tell, cable television falls way behind satellite TV. Due to all the shortcomings of cable TV, is it any wonder that so many people are dropping cable like a hot potato and making the switch to Dish Network Satellite TV?
