Five Big Differences Once One Moves From Cable to Satellite TV

Sometimes, accepting big changes comes slowly unless it's forced. For those who were used to and contented with analog television service, the news that the FCC was interested in getting rid of it meant a quick choice: cable or dish-based viewing, rather than the tried-and-true rabbit ears. And for those who made that decision rashly, it might have seemed more simple to just make the leap to cable, which seems intuitively less complicated than something involving things that circle the planet. Only the trouble is that it's not actually easier to make the choice to go with cable, and that anyone who has ended up stuck with the service for longer than necessary might actually find themselves a whole lot happier with the world of satellite TV instead.

Those who are finally making that choice to abandon cable for dish-oriented viewing options might not know how to make that adjustment, exactly. For those who need a bit of a helping hand or some guidance, here are five big differences to expect, all of which are definitely good things, rather than intimidating changes.

#1 - The chance to pick out particular channels, rather than overpaying for a package deal. Because if it is just one channel that one wants, why spend too much money on other content that is simply not needed? It's a waste of time and energy, and definitely not the way to win customers. With satellite TV, there's no stressing out about this, though, since picking and choosing particular channels is just the way things go, rather than something one will beg for, never to get.

#2 - A vast array of options for sports fans. From extremely generous packages that bring every game in the league to one's television screen weekly to obscure coverage from faraway lands, those who are serious about what happens on the field or in the stadium can definitely make sure it's available to see, even if one's home team is located thousands or hundreds of miles away.

#3 - A lot more to enjoy in clearer, flashier detail for those who went the HDTV route. Investing in the high definition television experience makes a lot more sense for those who actually have the hundreds of channels to enjoy along with that fancy new screen. So instead of making what cable has to offer work, instead make the choice to check out dozens of more channels at a value that is needed.

#4 - Customer service that listens. Like many companies on the out rather than on the up, cable doesn't spend nearly as much time keeping its customers happy. And the trouble with this is the fact that happy customers are more likely to stick around. For those who are used to getting shut down when it's time to make a phone call for questions or concerns about coverage, the difference will be more than refreshing: it will be truly awakening.

#5 - A signal that doesn't drop. In the olden days, cable managed to dissuade its users from making the leap to satellite TV by talking about how unreliable the signal was. Fast forward a few years, and cable companies haven't been able to spend money to upgrade their own facilities, while dish-based customers aren't experiencing any inconvenience with their picture quality. For the best, more reliable viewing experience, it's definitely not cable these days.
