Cable TV And Satellite TV - Which Is The Better System?

Author: Teddy Lc.

Cable TV and satellite TV - which is the better system? There's a battle going on between Cable TV and Satellite TV. Today, consumers have a choice between conventional cable TV, digital cable TV, and all-digital satellite TV. Do you want to know which of the TV system is best for you? Lets compare cable TV and satellite TV head-to-head here.

First, some general things about Cable TV and Satellite TV:

Cable TV & Digital Cable TV

It is obvious that the conventional cable TV are by far the least advanced. Compare to satellite TV, cable TV provides limited features to their customers. Hence, most cable companies now are pushing hard to get their customers on their digital systems in order to compete with satellite TV providers in the market. Digital cable television has many advantages over conventional cable. Through digital cable signals, consumers are able to get high-speed internet access and video on demand, as well as hundreds of cable channel choices.

Satellite TV

Most of the features offered by digital cable TV are offered by satellite TV. Example? Major dish networks offer their own version of high-speed internet through broadband. DirecTV has DirecWay , and DISH Network has partnered with EarthLink to bring high-speed internet to their customers. Besides, satellite TV providers also provide electronic program guides, parental controls, and automated timers.

Here are major comparisons of cable TV and satellite TV:

Cable TV vs Satellite TV: Popularity

Both Cable TV and Satellite TV are popular. Although cable still is more popular overall, satellite TV has made huge gains on cable TV. Equipment Cable TV systems require a cable to be installed from the network to your house. If your street has no cable you may need to wait a while before it is available in your area. Besides the cable you need a receiver. With digital services you need an additional box. Satellite TV requires a satellite dish, a receiver and a cable from the dish to your TV (no digging in your garden).

Cable TV vs Satellite TV: Reception Quality

Cable TV and satellite TV used totally different systems for signal transfering. Cable TV has analog channels and even though you can upgrade to digital services, analog channels will still be analog, meaning an often fuzzy picture. Satellite TV is completely digital, which gives you all the advantages of digital systems. Very heavy rain or snow can obstruct reception briefly, but generally this happens very rarely. Reception quality is much better with Satellite TV.

Cable TV vs Satellite TV: Programming

Cable TV and satellite TV both served high quality programming channels. Cable TV can handle up to 260 channels. Satellite TV can handle more channels. Also, Satellite TV is more advanced in HDTV (High Definition Television) services.

Cable TV vs Satellite TV: Pricing

Pricing for cable TV and satellite TV have huge differences. Satellite TV is less expensive than Cable TV due to many additional costs that are related to Cable TV: franchise fees, taxes, plus costs for any pay per view services, and equipment costs. Dish Network Programming Package starts at only $29.99 per month.

Cable TV vs Satellite TV: Interactive Services

In general Satellite TV has more interactive services than Cable TV. Digital services like Dish Network's DVR (Digital Video Recorder) which gives the option to rewind while recording even in live broadcasts, EPG (Electronic Program Guide), Instant Weather, video on demand, etc. are all available on Satellite TV, but not all are available on Cable TV.

Cable TV vs Satellite TV: High Speed Internet

Cable has high speed broadband internet services. Satellite has this too, but is somewhat slower. DirecTV: offers Direcway High Speed Internet, which is ultra fast but somewhat expensive. Overall conclusion: Satellite TV is less expensive, has better picture quality (digital signal) and gives you more channels and programming options than cable TV.

I believe that currently satellite TV providers are giving a better services with a lower price. Satellite TV apparently is a must if you want excellent picture quality, fantastic value with excellent features and varieties in TV programming.

We are Strategic Direction, a consulting and Training Partnership, formed in 1991. The partnership works in the areas of strategy, structure and skills to help organisations of all sizes to develop capability and manage change.

From your real estate Training Partnership you've probably been told you need to stake out a farm. The concept is that you can be the expert for your farm, and represent the buyers or sellers in your staked out area. Woohoo, in most cases there aren't enough property transfers in your farm in any given year to feed your dog. Don't bet your success on your farm. Most real estate Training Partnership focuses on getting you to do the exact same thing the other +300 plus real estate agents for every property transfer are doing. So what's your competitive advantage to doing that? How can you expect to even get in the real estate game when there isn't an advantage to working with you. Your clients really aren't dumb enough to believe that you're an expert in your farm anyway.

If you want to succeed in real estate you need to choose a playing field where you can be king. A good playing field provides enough property transfers generating enough income in a given year to make it possible for you to hit your revenue targets. In all likelihood a good playing field has very little to do with neighborhoods. A good playing field is an area where you already have connections. A good playing field can be related to your passions. If you can build a real estate business around the things you already love you will benefit from increased real estate sales. Probably the best way to help you understand this is through an example. Let's say your passion is travel. As a traveler you probably travel as often as you can and attend events where other travel lovers go, you know other travel lovers, you have friends who are travel lovers, you know travel agents, you know what travel lovers need and want, and you know how to help those travel lovers get what they want when it comes to a property. In fact, you work with people who love to travel helping them to find the property that's right for the avid traveler. Now if you said that do you think travel lovers would be interested in what you had to say, and that it would lead to more real estate sales sales for you? Do you think travel agents would get it and refer their travelers to you? Duh, this is an example of a good introduction.
