Satellite took a while to make its presence known and become competitive on the television programming market. However, the satellite companies did not take too long to recognize that the large cumbersome and ugly satellite dishes were not garnering them any customers. This combined with poor viewing selection and expensive equipment meant that if the satellite companies wanted to compete with cable they would need to make some major changes and quick. The satellite companies did just that and all of a sudden satellite dishes were small, sleek, and installable almost anywhere; viewing packages were incredible and also very affordable; combine this with amazing customer support and all of a sudden the nation is switching to satellite.
Some Americans are still loyal to their cable providers, even though they are not especially happy with the programming or the customer service. There are many reasons why these individuals should consider switching from cable to satellite.
The first reason is that satellite is considerably more affordable in comparison to the service and programming you receive compared to cable. In fact, on average individuals with cable pay at least $10 more per month than their satellite viewing neighbors. You might be wondering how this is possible considering the better quality programming satellite subscribers receive. The reason is the satellite industry is competitive and there are a variety of competitors in the satellite business. However, when it comes to cable you do not have a choice other than to choose cable or not choose cable. So, because of competition satellite customers not only enjoy lower prices, but better programming, customer service, equipment and all around service.
Also, these days satellite systems are small and mountable in almost any location. They are not eyesores of days gone bye and are actually very sleek and blend well. In addition to this, they are not expensive either and frequently you can find specials of free dishes, installation or the like.
The satellite programming packages are incredible and regardless of the type of programs you like you will be able to receive them with satellite programming. There are hundreds of channels including multiple movie channels, children’s’ channels, news channels, foreign language channels, history channels, and sports channels to name a few.
Satellite customers also note how pleased they are with the customer service. This is also a direct result of competition because there are multiple satellite providers, so customer service has to be impeccable in order to maintain customers. Cable does not have the same competition and in general does not seem to be overly concerned with customer service.
Complete digital programming is also another amazing benefit of satellite. Although you can subscribe to cable digital programming you will have to pay an extra fee and even then all of the channels will not be digital. With satellite, all channels are digital.
If you still doubt the benefits you will receive then simply switch to satellite and you will notice the benefits of digital satellite programming with the first program you watch. Go ahead and get more programming for your money and switch to satellite.
