Answering Your Top 10 Questions About Satellite Tv
1. WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF SATELLITE TV OVER CABLE TV The one big advantage of satellite TV, verses cable, is the amount and the variety of viewing you can access. Satellite dishes come in various sizes and you no longer need a huge dish in your yard to have satellite service, but you can use a large one if you like. Satellite TV gives you access to things that can't get on cable. If your into sports, then you can watch just about any kind of sport you want to, at any time of the day or night. 2. WHICH IS BETTER SATELLITE OR CABLE? Its a matter of personal preference. Each has its strong points. While cable is not vulnerable to interference, due to weather. Satellite delivers far more choices to the viewer. With cable you can watch multiple channels at once on different TV sets and with satellite you are limited to one. Cable has on demand pay per view, while satellites pay per view is not on demand. 3. CAN ANYONE GET SATELLITE ? Yes if you have an unobstructed view to the south, towards the equator. No trees or buildings. The satellite sits above the equator and sends the signal from there so you cant have any interference. 4. IS SATELLITE TV BROADCAST IN DIGITAL FORM ? Yes it is and in fact all satellite is broadcast in digital form. You must have an HDTV to view it though. Without an HDTV set you will not receive the benefits of a digital signal. This is a common mistake people make. You cant get digital quality on a TV that is not HDTV. 5. CAN I GET INTERNET SERVICE WITH SATELLITE TV ? Simply put, yes you can. Both direcTV and dish network offer wireless internet access. You do need the phone line in with this service though. 6. WHAT EQUIPMENT DO I NEED WITH A SATELLITE SYSTEM ? The basic equipment you will need for satellite service is the system itself that will come as a package and a TV to watch it on. You can augment your system with other features if you would like to but for the basic service, you only need the dish set up and your receiver and your TV. 7. CAN I WATCH SATELLITE TV ON MULTIPLE TV SETS ? Yes you can but there is just one catch and that is that everyone will have to watch the same thing at once. There is a way around that problem though and that is that each TV must have its own receiver to watch a different channel. 8. CAN I HOOK UP A SATELLITE DISH AT MY CONDO OR APARTMENT BUILDING ? Yes you can and there is a law that supersedes any rules your condo, or apartment building management may have. The Federal Communications Commission guarantees your right to access satellite signals. Its against the law for anyone to deny you access. 9. CAN A POWER SURGE AFFECT MY SATELLITE SYSTEM ? The answer to this is yes. There is protection equipment that you will have to use and it is important that you discuss this issue with the people you buy your system from. 10. I'M MOVING, CAN I TAKE MY SATELLITE SYSTEM WITH ME ? Yes you can and your service provider can help you to do it. If you have sold your home, make sure you have an understanding with the buyers. They might have considered the dish as part of their purchase. Article Directory: http://www.articledashboard.com Written by David Johnson. Find the latest information on Direct TV Offers |
