Question: Is Satellite TV, Such as Dish Network, Really Better



Than Cable?







As the war in video entertainment continues, one thing is for



sure: satellite television is here to stay.







When the satellite distributors first began marketing to



consumers, the cable industry didn't give their new opponent



much thought. Dishes were expensive, they were bulky and their



program offerings weren't all that impressive. Cable on the



other hand had been around for more than a decade and offered a



familiar and reliable solution to home entertainment.







But oh how things have changed.







The satellite industry quickly replaced those bulky dishes with



sleeker, smaller systems that could be mounted just about



anywhere. Prices dropped, programming grew and pretty soon,



switching from cable to satellite TV wasn't such a far-fetched



idea after all.







Today, the Satellite TV industry and providers, such as Dish



Network, enjoy a steady and continued growth in subscribers and



services, gradually closing the gap in video entertainment



market share. Where the cable industry has reported an annual



growth between 10 to 15 percent, top satellite companies, such



as Direct TV, boast a market share increase of just under 30%



according to a study from The Media Audit.







So is satellite and providers such as Dish Network really better



than cable?







Satellite TV customers seem to think so. Studies show that



satellite customers pay an average of $10 less per month than



their cable counterparts. Satellite programming is also



all-digital, meaning the reception and picture quality is much



better than that of traditional analog cable. Cable subscribers



do have the option of upgrading to digital but this incurs an



additional monthly cost and doesn't guarantee all the channels



will be included in the upgrade. And, with the healthy dose of



competition in the satellite industry, consumers can be assured



of continued competitive pricing. Your cable provider doesn't



have any competition. Do you suppose that affects your rate



increases?







Satellite TV subscribers also tout a higher satisfaction rating



with customer service issues, one of the primary reasons cited



for making the move from cable.
