One of the most exciting developments in television programming is the rise of high definition stations that specialize in an almost infinite array of possible entertainment offerings. Many such stations are premium stations which are available at a fee, although some high quality local HDTV programming is available for free, depending upon where you live and who your provider is.
There are four major movie networks, and they are offered by both DISH and DIRECTV: HBO®, CINEMAX®, SHOWTIME®, and STARZ® However, there are some differences in each package between DISH and DIRECTV. Check out the packages for satellite TV service below.
Information on Installing Satellite TV in condos, townhomes, and rental property:
As directed by Congress in section 207 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, the Federal Communications Commission adopted the Over-the-Air Reception Devices Rule concerning governmental and nongovernmental restrictions on viewers' ability to receive video programming signals from direct broadcast satellites ("DBS"), multichannel multipoint distribution (wireless cable) providers ("MMDS"), and television broadcast stations ("TVBS").
We've created this guide to help you figure out whether satellite TV makes sense for your home and, if it does, what provider has the combination of programming that best matches your viewing needs.
Since most people are interested in knowing what channels they can get and how much their bill will be each month, we have organized this section around answering these two questions. As you click through to each page, you'll be able to put together your optimal programming package and find the answers to frequently asked questions.
Cable and satellite TV services can have different offers when it comes to channels, price, and service quality. And as a customer you may be very happy with one and very unhappy with the other. You should research both types of TV companies thoroughly before choosing cable over satellite (or vice versa).
With our comparison chart below, you can start to see the difference between cable and satellite TV providers, and how those differences will determine the price you pay.
