Comparing Cable TV To Satellite TV

By Roman Holiday

Still haven't decided what to purchase? In the past years many people are still comparing cable TV VS satellite TV if which is better, actually both of them are the same but basically different.

Satellite TV is universally made to cater any household outside the service area, whether it is in rural or urban area. Residences that are not in large cities are capable of receiving a good television reception access, that's why satellite has become the popular choice of many. But satellite reception depends on the weather.

Cable TVs are popular in most urban areas or large cities and only limited in township. This is due to the type of system they use for their products. It is the reason why you need to be near a cable system to achieve a good signal compared to satellite TV that you can have that clear connection anywhere.

Digital and analog channels can be given to you by cable TV. The difference between analog and digital channels is the clarity of the channels. All channels in satellite TVs are proved high quality and clarity, it provides a best clear channels compared to the cable TV channels. The past networks operation is the same as satellite companies do right now.

There are great affordable prices that satellite companies can offer to you. A bundle of package that includes a receiver and a satellite dish, just install it outside your homes and you can enjoy its high quality channels. It is available in a 12 month commitment deal or it can be bought directly. While when you subscribe on a cable TV you will get a receiver but usually after you cut your subscription you need to return the receiver to them.

Most high quality channels needs a digital receivers, mostly all of cable TV channels are high digital channels and gives a programs of around 300 channels to choose from. You can also get some pay-per-view movies from them or videos you want to watch during your free time. Cable franchisers are now catering High Definition TV channels for a clearer reception.

Satellite TV's can only support over 250 channels of programming and all of its channels are in digital quality. They only offer less local channels or may not have it in some areas. They also provide High Definition TV services on compatible TVs. The only main downside of the cable TV is that it has only limited connection within it service area. If you are living in a small town or a rural area you might not receive some cable signal, this is the main disadvantage of cable TVs when compared to satellite TVs.

Their prices may also be a big difference when compared. Often cable companies let you subscribe on the monthly services with a franchise fees while satellite TVs can give you a good deal. Paying only an amount of $30 and get over 50 clear channels, on the other hand purchasing a satellite dish will surely be a little expensive but the advantage to this is that you can have all the high quality channels wherever you are located. Or you can get their 12-months deal for a low cost in the long run.
