Home | Communications | Satellite Tv Beyond my displeasure with the quality of the reception I was getting with cable TV, I was also not happy about the price increases that the cable company was imposing on me. There had to be at least three increases a year during the time I was a customer. Cable TV has probably come a long way since I was a customer almost ten years ago. The picture quality is probably improved greatly thanks to digital cable. I do know, however, that they still like to increase prices frequently. Since the only option for high-speed Internet in my area is from the cable television company, I remain a reluctant cable customer today. For an unhappy cable TV customer like me, I knew I had to try satellite television. I chose Dish Network because I liked their programming packages better than the other satellite service. When I first signed up with Dish Network I was very happy with the service and that has not changed at all. I am even happier with the service today because I upgraded my service to high-definition a while ago and I just love it. I have experienced very few problems with my Dish Network service - far fewer problems than I had with cable TV. Don't believe what the cable TV companies say about satellite TV and the weather. The cable television companies want you to think that satellite TV customers lose their reception when it rains or snows and that just isn't true. We have had very few weather-related outages the entire time I have had Dish Network service and those were only with very heavy rain. Unless you live in an area that has frequent tropical downpours, you should not experience many weather-related outages. Even though the cable companies like to say that satellite TV is subject to a lot of weather-related outages, it's actually the opposite that is true. I was a cable customer long enough to see my share of outages when a traffic accident knocked a pole down or a bad storm caused a tree to fall on the wires and bring them down. If you compare Dish Network to cable television on the basis of reliability, I would vote for Dish Network without hesitation. Beyond the rare weather-related outage on Dish Network, all you normally have to worry about is whether or not you have electrical power. Since you receive the signal directly from the satellite, you do not have to rely on wires that might be brought down in a storm. As long as you have power, you can watch TV. Heck, even if you don't have power and you do have your own generator, you can watch satellite TV even when the lines are down! Article Source: http://www.articlewheel.com
