Satellite TV is a huge style dish made in the 90's usually but is the same as Dish Network and DirecTV. Also Satellite TV is another way of bringing you your network and local and favorite channels without having to pay a corporate company such as Cableone or Classic or COX or Cambridge.
Dish Network and Directv or DTV.. the differences in these two are simple... Basically here's the deal Dish Network runs of 6 Great Huge Satellites but only uses 2 to 3 depending on your local stations. Directv uses 4 satellites but they are overloaded with 20 million customers and cause Directv to pixelate or lose signal while Dish Network can hold 20 million and not pixelate or lose signal. Another huge deal between them are the dishes and storms. Dish Net can withstand 100mph winds and still not lose a signal DTV can withstand 100mph and lose signal constantly... The main deal here is the design of the dishes the switches and such and also a main factor is who installed them and the ends..
Price, channel choice, how many trees to cut down. Ask the suppliers, they will answer your questions faster then this forum.
Lets not forget the free to air sats, They offer alot of good stuff to watch that is free and i mean free(sports and education are the bulk here)
Here is a website you can reference comparing the two. http://www.dishtvreviews.com/
Price... and that's about it.
you can she worldwide channels in sattelite tv.
Price, equipment, and programming differ between the two. Satellite tends to offer more channels, as well as most have Sirius Radio available. Dish Network has equipment that allows one box for two TV's, so that saves money. The website http://www.dishtvreviews.com/ has a pretty good comparison. Also it compares two major satellite providers.
Cable boxes connect to cable systems, which are wires strung both above and underground. Satellite dishes are located on one's roof or in another area with unimpeded access to the sky, which they need to pick up signals from satellites in space. You generally need to be in a city or suburban area in order to receive cable, but users can pick up satellite signals in almost any part of the world, urban or rural.
Yes, satellite TV is clearer than cable TV. It also has more channels and you can read more at www.directv.com/DTVAPP/content/directv/competition
Satellite isn't always clearer than cable. If you have a HD television and have HD cable services, the picture is very crisp! Satellite is easily knocked out in a thunderstorm.
The difference is that a Satellite Television requires a satellite signal to pick up the data whereas a Cable Television can receive it through cables such as fibre optics.
The major benefit is that it is on average, cheaper than cable. There are reliability issues, though.
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.
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.
Generally satellite reception is better than cable even when the two are both sent digitally. A satellite signal transfer is more direct and therefore has less chance of interference. The cable signal travels through many feet of wire and connection points. These provide a greater chance of interference. The only time the opposite is true is during bad weather when the satellite signal can degrade.
Do you think cable tv is a better solution than satellite for HD? Which offers more channels in HD?
In most cases satellite is cheaper than cable, but this will vary greatly depending on your area and cable providers. Shop around to find specials and then make the best choice.
satellite, you can steal it... lol cable is probably
DIRECTV is a satellite company and cable TV is not. DIRECTV has more channels and clear reception. Also, DIRECTV is a good company and satellite is much better than cable TV.
Alot of people speculate this question, but in reality, yes, most of the time satellite is cheaper than cable. Obviously it depends on your service probably and where you are located on earth.
Satellite TV is almost always better than cable.
The amount of channels you get from either a satellite tv or cable tv provider usually depends on your package. If you get a digital cable set top box it's usually around the same amount of channels as a satellite provider.
You should switch to satellite. It is usually cheaper than cable even after the introductory rate. I would see what satellite companies are available in your area.
