subject: Satellite TV Information for Louisville Residents [print this page] These days, people all over the country are switching from cable companies to satellite companies as their number one choice of home entertainment provider. While it is not exactly an exodus from cable, it is certainly a mass departure. If you live in Louisville, many of your neighbors may be participating in this trend. Why is this happening? The most basic explanation is that satellite TV is a better choice for a lot of people because of the numerous benefits, including wide programming variety, many interactive features, great customer service, crystal clear top of the line digital resolution, and affordable prices, that it has to offer.
If you are considering joining your fellow Louisville residents who have already dropped their cable service provider and signed up for a satellite TV subscription, you may have a few final lingering doubts that you need to have assuaged before you are able to make a commitment.
The first doubt you may have is about price. If satellite service is as good as everyone is saying it is, it makes sense that it would cost you quite a bit of money. But the truth is, it is not more expensive than cable. In fact, it is far from it. If you look at how much a given satellite package costs per channel and compare that with a comparable cable package, you will likely see that the satellite package is actually the more budget friendly option. The important thing to consider regarding the price of a home entertainment package is what the money you are spending is buying you. And satellite TV packages surely have a lot to offer that cable packages of a similar or even higher price do not.
In addition to the amount of money a subscription costs per month, another thing you will want to think about that has to do with budget are any additional fees that you might have to pay. For example, cable companies often charge you more money if you want to have a digital receiver installed or a DVR (digital video recorder). With satellite, on the other hand, getting digital signals does not cost any extra because all satellite signals are digital. And many satellite companies offer add on equipment like DVRs for no additional fees. Plus, satellite providers usually do not charge an installation fee when you have your system set up most cable companies do.
Another thing you may still be hesitant about believing is that satellite service is really all that it is cracked up to be. But you should not worry about this. Most of the things you have heard about satellite TV are true. You will be sure to enjoy better programming variety, including more premium and HD channels, and some special sports-related packages that are not available through cable at all.
Still not convinced? Just ask another Louisville resident who has recently made the switch from cable to satellite. Or look online at customer satisfaction rankings, in which satellite service consistently performs better than cable service.
