If you've been a cable subscriber for a long time, there can sometimes be an obligation sort of feeling to stick with the service that you have found so reasonable over the years. But for anyone who is interested in saving money, especially in times of economic crunch, it is definitely important to start thinking about a switch to satellite. Aside from being a better deal for everything from movie packages to picking and choosing your own channels, satellite also is a lot more forward thinking when it comes to technology. And for anyone who has invested in an HD TV set, this is a huge reason and incentive to give the new guys a try.
Back when satellite first came out, there were a lot of reasons to stick with cable. The original dish service made it a little bit more difficult to get a signal in a rainstorm, and there was sometimes a bit more of a lag than with cable. But because cable companies haven't gone to the trouble of replacing their lines in a lot of cases while satellite tv technology has simply steadily improved, today you are more likely to have a problem with your cable service than with the functionality of a dish. And with cable companies losing money left and right, there aren't as many plans for repairs, meaning that you are going to see a lot of shoddy service in areas where the lines are the most hard hit.
Meanwhile at the same time, satellite tv is more affordable than ever. Most introductory packages include installation for free, and dishes are practically the same prices, if not less than, what it costs to rent a cable box from the cable company. And of course when it comes to HD, there is nothing like satellite. Cable decided to wait and see if the technology would catch on, which was a definite gamble. Because satellite understood the future of viewing at home, they continued to roll out various HD options, meaning that if you have an HD TV, you are more likely to see anything from television to premium channels to network, including sports, in a better quality picture than over at cable. And if you are going to invest in a great television set, why would you ever want to sacrifice the quality for the channels and programs you find yourself watching the most.
So while cable has fallen behind in the rush for contemporary technology, satellite has managed to leap ahead. But that alone wouldn't be enough to think about switching. Because cable makes it impossible to pick and choose as a consumer, satellite tv has gone ahead and made it a lot easier to decide you want a specific channel rather than a bundle, and the prices do not go up suddenly in a couple of months. It is a lot more of a bargain to have a steady and reliable price, and this is one of the main reasons that those who want their technology for an affordable price with lots of options are starting to switch to satellite instead of sticking with cable.
