Cable VS Satellite

Satellite television offers more variety, better quality, and increased customer satisfaction all for a lot less money than you'd spend on cable.

More Variety - TOP Quality

Did you know with satellite TV you can get up to 265 digital-quality channels including premiums such as HBO, SHOWTIME, Starz and Cinemax? Many of those channels (Over 130 by the end of the year) are also available in HD including local†, regional, and specialty sports networks. With satellite you get variety and quality. You won't find that combination with most cable providers - with cable you'll get lower picture quality, limited HD channels and meager sports offerings. DIRECTV vs. Cable-it isn't even a contest.

You've probably heard the myth that satellite reception goes out every time it snows or the wind blows. The truth is satellite television provides consistent, crystal clear picture 99.9% of the time, rain or shine. Satellite is actually more consistent, and interruption-free than cable tv.

Spend Less - Get More

Historically, on average, cable charges 26% more per channel than satellite, but according to a September 2007 article by David Kaplan at the Houston Chronicle that ratio just went up. The average increase to COMCAST subscribers? 6.1%! Cable providers are citing increased service and a greater number of HD channels as justification for this price hike, but when you're already getting this benefit from satellite at a fraction of the cost per channel why would you pay more to get less?

The Winner in Customer Service

Satellite providers have consistently come out on top of cable when it comes to customer satisfaction. DIRECTV has had higher customer satisfaction ratings than cable nine years running.*

So, better quality, more variety, and unparalleled customer service at a fraction of what your local cable provider is charging? Switching to satellite just makes sense.
