Frequently Asked Questions For Satellite TV
Are satellite TV pictures really better than cable?
Satellite TV provides 100% digital video and audio signals for all channels and for all packages. Digital cable costs more and is inherently lesser quality due to the sharing of signals with all your neigbors on the incoming cable feed.
Is satellite TV customer service better than cable?
Hands down. Cable is infamous for having the worst customer service in the history of an industry. And you are subjected to endless rate hikes. Satellite TV received high marks from JD Powers on cost, reliability AND customer service.
Will I have to lease my satellite equipment?
Not unless you want to. Unlike cable TV where you have no choice, you are free to purchase your satellite dish and receiver equipment if you desire.
Can anyone in the USA get good satellite TV reception?
Pretty much. All that is required is a clear view of the southern sky where the orbiting satellite is located. The satellite dish needs a clear line of sight to function optimally. Trees and tall buildings can sometimes interfere, and heavy rain or snow can sometimes degrade the signal temporarily.
Can I get my local TV channels?
All three satellite TV providers provide the ability to get local broadcasts in most US cities, although how they do it can vary, and sometimes there is a small fee associated with this.
How do I get satellite TV service?
You can purchase your satellite TV dish, receiver and service either directly from DirecTV, DISH or VOOM, or from an authorized independent retailer.
