The television is one of the main sources of entertainment in our lives. However, when you are not subscribed for satellite or cable TV, you will not have access to a lot of channels, so you should choose one of those services and subscribe for it. For most of the people, to make the right choice is one of the hardest things that they ever have to do, but there are some simple facts to consider and I can assure you that the choice will be easier for you.
To start with you should consider the installation and subscription fees of both the satellite and the cable TV. Most of the satellite TVproviders are offering free installation and you will have to pay subscription fees between $30 and $40. That way you will not have to pay any installation fees and you will be able to spend that money on buying something else that you need. With the cable TV on the other hand you will have to pay about $100 for installation and equipment, which is quite a lot. Furthermore, the monthly subscription for cable TV is between $40 and $50.
Another thing that you should compare when it comes to satellite and cable TV is their after sales services. When you enter the office of the TV providers you will get all kind of offers, which have main purpose to make you a subscriber to the services that they are offering. However, it is very important to find out whether the subscriber will keep the level of services after you become its customer. If you spend some time to read information about the satellite TV you will find out that this service has the highest level of customer satisfaction, so you can be sure that you will get the best from your subscription. Furthermore, the amount of downtimes that you will experience with the satellite TV is around 1%. With the cable TV on the other hand, the customer satisfaction solely depends on the subscriber. Have in mind that the amount of downtimes that people experience with that service is between 3 and 4 percent, which makes the satellite TV more reliable.
As you can see from the facts that I had compared, with the satellite TV you will get a lot better service and for that reason it have to your main choice. I do not say that there are none good cable TV providers, but with most of them you will have to pay more than you are getting.
