Education Is Entertainment With Satellite TV

One of the major benefits of the introduction of satellite TV was the larger number

of channels available to the public in comparison to what the cable television companies were providing. These extra channels available provide the viewing public with a much bigger choice of viewing possibilities from sports channels, entertainment channels, children's channels, and including channels covering news and current affairs, and channels dealing with local news and events. These additional channels are amongst the fastest growing in terms of the numbers of viewers they attract partly because they entertain as well as educate. These programs are generally called documentaries. These channels give viewers the opportunity of increasing their knowledge of a subject, and present the information in a manner that makes them easily comprehensible. The documentary sector usually includes topics relating to {the animal world; biographies; military; science; history; sport; geography; travel|animal sciences; history and politics; warfare; places of interest; sport; and others. The range of subjects is endless and covers every {conceivable topic|imaginable theme. But in spite of the unlimited number of subjects, almost all of these programs have numerous common characteristics. The photography is of the very highest standard and is perhaps the one aspect of these programs that the viewer finds most fascinating. This is especially the case with subjects such as geography, animal behavior, and animal sciences. Secondly the commentary accompanying the program is presented in a factual, believable manner without any notion of bias. Thirdly the overall production and presentation are of the very best quality and comply with the demanding standards of documentary making. Finally most documentaries are suitable for viewing by the whole family. There is an absence of material that some parents may find unsuitable for children. Many of these educational/documentary type programs are respected all over the world by educational experts, teachers, and parents. In fact such is the recognition of these programs as educational resources for school children that many of them are readily available on DVD for home use. Many of the wildlife and animal science programs produced by the BBC fit into this category. The David Attenborough series of Life on Earth programs are examples of the very best programs ever made. The remarkable quality of the action photography and the knowledge and professionalism of the commentary ensures that programs of this quality will always have a place in the educational field. Programs of a historical nature about a particular country or a period in time allow the viewer to learn the effects of events on the development of a country, and how some events in the past influenced a country's or

society's future actions. Old film footage of bygone incidents improve a viewers understanding of history and make people much more aware of why certain events happened. Whilst there are numerous categories of programs that the public may consider to be educational , there are many more that the viewer may not consider to be in this category. Programs dealing with parenting, child rearing, cooking, home maintenance, gardening, and many more are examples of subjects that the public do not generally consider to be educational in nature, even though they are. Educational programs come in all shapes and sizes, it can be said that most programs have an educational aspect to them. A program that tells the viewer a fact they didn't know before marks the program as an educational tool. The wide-spread introduction of high definition television (HDTV) and the efforts of the program suppliers to meet that demand by supplying HDTV programming means that many educational programs can now be viewed in a superior way. Improved signal reception and vastly enhanced audio had led to a much more satisfying viewing experience, particularly those programs heavily reliant on photographic material. Satellite TV is by far the best TV system to have for those subscribers wanting to be up-to-date with the very best and latest in TV technology. 3D television has just come onto the market and whilst it may be in its early stages of development, it will eventually be accepted in the future as being the superior way to watch TV. The viewing public will one day accept that satellite TV together with HDTV is the best way to watch educational programs. For a subscriber to take full advantage of the range of educational channels being shown on television there are two components they need. Firstly a High Definition Television to take advantage of the first-class photography, and the superb audio, and secondly a television service provider that is able to provide the largest range of channels at the best possible quality. Satellite TV is well ahead of its competitors in this.
