Cable generally is more reliable than satellite dishes due to it's physical nature. It's connected directly from the supplier to your television instead of intercepting signals using a dish. While severe weather can affect your cable line, a satellite dish can be knocked out by mere rain.
If money isn't a big factor in your decision, you should get cable. It generally more reliable than satellite.
I believe that satellite dishes do provide better reception than cable service. I believe this because satellite dishes are bigger and getting their signals from huge satellites in space. They have less interference factors that affect them than cable service does and they are less likely to go off air as often happens with cable service. Satellite dishes also offer all HD channels where as with cable you have to pay an extra fee for HD many times. I think that satellite dishes receive stronger signals and are better equipped to interpret those signals than cable service is. I also believe that the satellite signals are jumbled less often than cable tv and because of this you get a clearer picture and more channels.
It is generally cheaper and may offer some sports channels that cable doesn't, but cable tends to be more reliable.
The difference between satellite tv service and cable is satellite tv offers more channels and are more expenisve. No, they don't receive their signals from a satellite.
Cable TV is more reliant and less costly. On the other hand, satellite often offers more channels.
Do you think cable tv is a better solution than satellite for HD? Which offers more channels in HD?
Satellite TV is better only in some cases. It is better in areas that have no cable service or have very limited cable selection. In some major areas with cable carrier competition, satellite is actually more expensive than cable. Satellite TV is a great choice for those in rural areas. This is because cable has a limited reach because of isntallition issues.
More than what?
STP is more reliable due to shielding.
Satellite dishes for television began to gain popularity in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The launch of the first commercial communications satellites, such as the Hughes Communications satellite in 1975, paved the way for direct-to-home (DTH) satellite services. By the mid-1980s, advancements in technology made satellite dishes more accessible to consumers, leading to widespread adoption for television viewing.
Satellite television has some advantages over cable because it is usually cheaper in cost. The activation fees are something you do not need to pay. It also offers more channels for sports and music than cable would.
Yes satellite cable is available nationwide in the United States. It only depends on the kind of television you own. Almost all televisions have cable but the more cheap or older ones could not have it.
