Satellite TV Service -- Is DirecTV Or Dish Network Better?
Since the demise of Pegasus and VOOM, there are just two satellite TV service providers battling it out for the top spot -- DIRECTV and DISH Network.
Both companies provide excellent service, all-digital broadcast quality, and great customer service. The main difference between the two companies is the programming they provide.
How Satellite TV Service Works
Satellite TV providers such as DIRECTV and DISH Network send a broadcast signal carrying television programming to a satellite orbiting above the earth. The Satellite then broadcasts the signal back down to earth.
This signal is picked up by a satellite TV dish then transmitted to a receiver where it is amplified and sent to a TV screen.
Benefits of Satellite TV Service
* Satellite TV is broadcast in all-digital format, providing the highest quality picture and sound available.
* Satellite TV gives you access to hundreds of different programs, pay-per-view movies, special events, and commercial-free music channels.
* Satellite TV utilizes DVR (digital video recording) receivers so you can record your favorite programs and bypass commercials while watching live TV.
* Satellite TV is much more reliable than cable or over-the-air TV. Broadcast outages average only 1% as opposed to 3%-5% for cable.
