Tips and comparisons when choosing a TV package

What is the best option when it comes to chose for a tv package? The TV services are provided by either regular cable networks or more recently, satellite tv networks. The last one comprises two main operators: Dish network and a dish network.
In spite of the fact that the satellite networks started to become widespread across the world, I consider that the cable system still remains one of the most profitable, simple and reliable entertainment media so far. There are advantages and disadvantages for each system but all these are just a matter of advertisement, depending on the people’s taste. Certainly the satellite networks hold more advanced technology over the cable but the user must keep in mind if this technology really fits his needs. All the tv supplying networks compete in improving two main branches: the Equipment and the Programming. The cable network equipment is less stuffy than the satellite one, requiring just a coaxial cable and a digital receiver for programming. The number of channels for the standard package is about 35 depending on the provider and the cost per channel but this number can be increased to the cable availability band of around 300 tv channels. Initially the cable networks started with analog signals, but now also the digital technology was implemented.
When and why would I switch to satellite networks? As mentioned above, the world satellite tv network is dominated by two main competitors: Dish network and Direct TV network. What’s different compared to cable system? Satellite networks - Dish system and Direct TV System - offer equipment which consists of satellite dish and the HD satellite receiver which in most cases has also a Digital Video Recorder. One of the benefits of the Directv Service - or satellite services in general- compared to cable network is the broadband, thus combining TV with high speed Internet connection. Another advantage is the fact that the Internet stream along with TV signal comes through satellite dish, hence this is a nice option if I would live in a remote area with no cable services. On the other side, a so-called drawback of the Directv system is that the hardware parts are not for free, they are actually sold to the subscriber. In case of break down of one of the equipment components, there is no maintenance included in the package, the only thing which can be done is to order e new one.
Another reason to opt for satellite providers is the fact that they offer packages coming with an overwhelming number of program channels, including also XM radio channels so that it can be watched almost everything from movies, sport and music channels to other channels like the regular broadcasting ones. Now you have to ask yourself: do you really need hundreds of tv channels or radio? Is it worth to pay for more services?
As a final conclusion - cable, dish network or Direct TV - I can barely say that there is a best option when choosing among them. The best choice is that one which fits the user’s needs.
