How Cable And Satellite Providers Are Different And How It Affects You

When it comes to getting the most for your money, both cable companies and satellite TV providers can make lots of promises. And, over the years, a lot of myths have been perpetuated about quality, about service and about value. But if you take some time and do a little research it's possible to delve through all of the myths and hype and find out what are really the best satellite TV deals, value, quality and service for your TV entertainment dollar.

Many cable companies want you to think that they have the best service. They push on their quality and reliability, plus they offer you internet service and phone service all off the same cable. It would certainly look like it would be your best option with the inital offers and bundling services. However, when you look behind the scenes a little, you'll see a different story.

There are a lot of things that cable companies don't tell you. They don't tell you that you'll be paying for every cable box installed for as long as you subscribe. They don't tell you that you'll even have to pay for the remote for as long as you subscribe. They don't tell you that you'll have to pay extra for HD programming. And they don't tell you that because of all the data going through that one wire to your house that HD quality isn't quite as good as it could be. On top of all that, they don't tell you that your cable TV bill could easily be $175 a month for your bundled cable TV, internet and phone after the initial offer is over. And if you get additional movie packages, your bill could very well reach over $200 a month.

Satellite providers also make a lot of promises. They promise free equipment. They promise free installation. Some providers promise free HDTV. Some promise free HBO and Showtime for 3 months with some satellite TV packages. DVR upgrades is a promise some make. The difference between what satellite TV providers' promise and what cable companies promise is the fact that satellite TV providers keep their promises. Plus, you will get quality HD programming that will be as good as you will be able to get from any TV provider. And your monthly bill will be more true-to-life, since many phone and internet companies have a partnership with satellite TV providers.

Take a look at what satellite TV and cable TV providers promise to offer versus what they really deliver. Look at the fine print. Look at the extra charges. Getting the most bang for your buck when it comes to spending your money is what you should look for when you are spending your TV entertainment dollars. You'll find that satellite TV providers consistently give you more.
