You may be having a hard time choosing between cable and satellite providers, just so you know, satellite TV is better. Wow, that’s candid, isn’t it? Wait a minute, where are the facts? Where is the evidence to back up such a strong claim? Nah, you don’t need it, just order satellite TV already.
Oh, all right. Since you requested it so nicely, we’re going to give you seven good reasons why satellite TV has cable TV beat. Let’s go…
1. Satellite TV is cheaper than cable TV.
Yes, and that’s not just an ad gimmick, that’s the truth. Satellite TV providers are not taxed out of their minds like cable TV providers are. Because cable providers use local frequencies and are locally based they are subject to extra fees by the government which they pass on to you. Satellite TV makes their connection from space, therefore, that’s less taxes you have to indirectly pay.
2. Satellite TV has more channels than cable TV.
Satellite TV has more channels than cable TV does, offering well over 265 channels. Satellite’s two biggest companies both boasted over 90 HD-only channels, while cable TV stalled at less than 40. Satellite TV also doubles the amount of PPV channels that cable offers.
3. Satellite TV has more sports choices.
Cable does very well when it comes to sports packages overall, but they fail miserably when it comes to covering pro football. Satellite TV’s biggest provider currently has an exclusive deal with the NFL to carry Sunday Ticket with Superfan. This is the only package on the market that brings out-of-area NFL games along with high tech features like Game Mix, Red Zone and Mobile Phone Highlights.
4. Satellite TV offers a discount on installation/setup charges.
Cable TV charges a fair price for its setup charges while most satellite TV companies waive the setup charge as well as the equipment charge. Some satellite services require long-term contracts (to make up the cost of the satellite dish) but others are now offering no contract terms with their service.
5. Satellite TV has more to prove.
Cable has been sitting “pretty” for the past two decades or so, and so satellite TV has everything to prove. This is why satellite TV goes all out to announce seasonal deals, which discount the price of a subscription or of special features like HD or DVR. Cable has over 50% of the TV viewing population already. Satellite TV is hungry and more willing to pursue your business.
6. Satellite TV has better customer service.
Satellite TV has won recognition and even award honors for having the best reviewed customer service for entertainment providers. It has even won honorable mention from firms like J.D. Power and Associates.
7. Satellite TV is available at almost any location in the country.
This is not true in the case of cable. Cable providers serve populated urban areas, so that customers are always close to the home base. Satellite TV receives and sends signals from the sky, meaning the service is available even in deep rural territories.
We told you so! Satellite TV beats cable TV hands down!
For the best in entertainment, consider Direct TV. It's the number-one provider of satellite television services in the U.S. Whether you enjoy movies, sports or family programming, there are Direct TV packages to suit your needs and budget.
