The Pros and Cons of Satellite TV for Omaha Residents

Satellite TV was first brought into American households almost three decades ago in 1982

. The first satellite users had many complaints with the type of service they received. One of the most common problems experienced with satellite service back then was that it stopped working in heavy rain or snow storms. In the nearly thirty years since 1982, satellite service has evolved greatly and become much closer to perfect. But, of course, nothing is perfect, and that includes satellite service.

Advancements in satellite technology in recent years have contributed to the rise in popularity of this service, and satellite TV is now used as the prefered source of home entertainment in nearly a third of all the households in this country. This number continues to grow, whereas the amount of people who use cable service has remained fairly consistent near 60 percent. Despite the many advancements, there are still negative sides to this home entertainment service, too.

If you are an Omaha resident attempting to decide whether satellite TV is the best source of home entertainment for your home, then it is a good idea to educate yourself about both the pros and cons of this service.

The first area that might interest you is satellite dishes. This is one area in which satellite technology has improved a lot over the years. Nowadays the satellite dishes used for home entertainment are much smaller than the dishes used in the past, which makes them a more convenient and aesthetic choice for people who either do not have the space for a large dish or simply do not want to have to look at such an eyesore everyday. The dishes used today can be mounted on the roof or a high wall of your home, rather than having to be set up in your yard. Today's satellite dishes also cost less, which makes it possible for satellite TV providers to offer them to their subscribers for free.

Another thing that you should think about when deciding on a service for your Omaha home is picture quality. This is one definite pro of satellite service. Unlike cable broadcasts, all satellite signals are transmitted in digital format, which means clearer pictures overall, as well as the ability to transmit high definition channels.

If you choose satellite service for your Omaha home, you will also enjoy greater programming variety than you will if you select cable service. One con related to this is the fact that more channels means a higher price. Nonetheless, the difference in the number of channels is greater than the difference in the price that you will pay. In other words, while a satellite package may cost you more overall, the actual amount you pay per channel for satellite TV is lower than the amount you pay per channel for cable TV. If you want to enjoy all the benefits of satellite in you Omaha home but are worried about the cost, one option you might look into is service bundling. Bundling is when you get your Internet and TV service through the same provider. And when you do this, usually you can get better deals on the combined services.
