Why Cable T.V. Is a Better
Choice!
Here are a few things to consider when comparing Cable service to
a satellite dish.
With Cable you get low-cost installation on every
TV in your home.
- There is no need to purchase costly receivers for every T.V.
set.
- Each set in your home can be tuned to a different channel at
the same time.
- Just one economical monthly payment is needed for all programming
and equipment.
- Satellite companies generally require customers
to buy costly receivers for each set on which
you want to watch their service.
Installation is expensive, often hundreds of dollars for
each set. Some satellite companies require customers to pay for
a full year of service in advance!
-
With Cable you get local
channels and networks.
- Cable provides
local channels and U.S. network affiliates such as ABC,
NBC, CBS, and FOX.
- Area news, weather, and sports.
- Free public service announcements
and community bulletin boards.
- Satellite companies require
an antenna or a basic cable subscription to get local channels.
- With
Cable you get better customer service.
- Full-time customer
service and maintenance is available free of charge.
- In-home
repair service is one free phone call away.
- Satellite companies
don't always offer local repair or customer service. Customers
are generally required to purchase their
own equipment and become
totally responsible for maintenance and repair. Equipment may need
to be shipped back to the manufacturer for repair.
- With Cable
you get the Total Home Communications package.
- Your existing
in-home wiring is capable of delivering both Internet and
television services through one convenient connection meaning:
- There's
just one bill to deal with
- You pay a discounted price for combining services
- Some satellite companies may provide Internet access, but
a phone line is needed for two-way communication. It may
never be as fast as cable or as reasonably priced. Most satellite
customers are required to purchase their own equipment.
- With
Cable you get local support in your community.
- Cable companies pay local taxes and provide jobs within the
community.
- Local charities
and causes important to your community are supported by your
local cable company.
- Satellite
companies are national or international and rarely have a local
office
or telephone number. They seldom - if
ever - support the local community at any level.
So, what do you get with Cable that you don't get with Satellite?
