The boss made you stick around longer than most nights but you were expecting it, so you set the DVR to record the season finale of your favorite show. Unfortunately, you don't have satellite TV. You have cable TV and lightning hit the cable company's transformer, so you won't be able to watch your favorite show when you get home.
Construction mistakes, fiber optic cable ruptures, or utility repairs can wipe out cable service for hours at a time, over a large area of coverage. With satellite TV, none of these factors are an issue. When it comes to the weather, 99.96% of the time, the satellite dish with an unobstructed view of the southern sky will broadcast a clear, digital signal. This translates into a beautiful, high definition picture on your television, that is recorded onto your DVR when you set it for the season finale of your favorite show.
Many customers that make the switch to satellite TV have never gone back to cable. These consumers have found the service, entertainment and reliability they were not getting from their local cable companies. In their opinion, flat out -- satellite TV beats cable, and there is no debate.
Often, the selection of channels, sports packages and family programming that satellite TV has available in high definition, is what wins over the "on the fence" cable vs satellite TV shopper.
Movie buffs love to have multiple options of their favorite premium movie channels. You'll find several HBO, Cinemax, Starz, and Showtime selections, all with a variety of programs to watch any time.
In addition to plenty of channels, there are great sports packages available. One of the most popular is the NFL SUNDAY TICKET. Football fans have up to 200 NFL games during the season. The economy is tough on many families and movies, sporting events and concerts have become luxuries. Satellite TV brings the fun home in high definition with a lower price tag than your local cable company.
