People only think of two things; your TV and the economy. What you need to realize is that all of those problems, from technology to government programs, started for change. The cable TV and satellite TV industries stand to gain heavily from this change, as does the government. It seemed that everyone was benefiting from the change. We are now faced with an important decision. What to choose between cable television and satellite television? Before choosing, see the advantages of both. Both offer uninterrupted entertainment along with a wide diversity of programming for all ages.

It’s easy to see the advantages of cable television; Cable TV may have some convenience features on its pro list, however, it charges tons more money for fewer channels and less perks overall. The cable does not require equipment, but it does involve the installation of cable-converted boxes. In cable television, the signals are sent through cables and not through the air unlike satellite, which allows for much better reception quality than the off-air reception of local (satellite) television. Cable television signals are not disturbed by buildings, trees, winds or others. Cable TV gives you more channels from around the world instead of limiting you to local channels. It is brought into your home and cable TV companies can offer you many international channels as well as the local ones.

Satellite television; The first advantage of satellite television is that it is less expensive than cable. It’s the most competitive industry, since cable still has more subscribers overall, and providers tend to offer lower rates as an incentive to switch. This technology is cheaper to exploit than cable technology. The satellite requires the installation of a satellite dish, which must have a full view of the southern sky. It has exclusive sports programming and more channels than cable.

In terms of programming, satellite is identical to cable with more channels available, and On Demand, Digital Video Recording and Pay-Per View programming is also available. People in remote areas can get satellite TV even if they can’t get cable services. Questioning the image? The image provided by this is much sharper than transmission off the air. There are many interactive features such as online ordering and shopping and the like. There is no change of antenna here and there. People who are the technical type and like to fix their own stuff or love doing it alone will love this. It provides digital information as well as text services.

Above are its advantages, but you should also consider its disadvantages. Cable TV is very limited and you can’t enjoy it if you want to watch sports, whereas like satellite you may have to sign a contract for a long period because the satellite company doesn’t charge upfront fees for satellite equipment and you have to do that cash back over a period of time.
