What Are the Best Satellite TV Deals Today?

By Paul Stradford


A consumer who is trying to decide which satellite TV provider is right for them could find themselves confused by all the promotions being offered at any given time. When looking at the glossy ads that are printed in the Sunday paper and that arrive in the mail it can be difficult to determine if all satellite television being offered by the different providers is the same.

Benefits of Satellite Television * Price - Research has proven that satellite television is cheaper than cable overall. It is also evident that customers are satisfied with the service offered. Cable TV customers almost always pay more and there is no significant difference in terms of quality. In addition, most providers of satellite TV offer free equipment with their services so users will not have to buy expensive equipment like with cable television providers.

One of the favorite terms used in advertising to promote satellite TV is "HD." You will often hear or read "We offer free HD." Another says "We have the most HD channels." So, when a consumer or potential customer begins to shop for a satellite TV provider, they surely need to consider what HD is all about and how important is it? Some HD aficionados will say that 720 is best for high speed sports because the action moves more smoothly. Some with large screen TVs swear by 1080. That may be important to the different viewer because some providers broadcast more programming in 780 than 1080.

Satellite radio is part of satellite television provider's packages, and different providers offer different radio programming. That could be important to the consumer who wants access to satellite radio through their provider. Not all satellite TV providers have access to all sports programming. For instance, you may want to watch the March Madness basketball tournament games, but not all providers have the rights to broadcast all of the games. This is also true for some ice hockey, extreme fighting events and wrestling.

Even though cable companies will tell you that their bundle packages will save you money, if you break those deals down, you are not really saving money at all. Many people have switched their phone service to cell phones so that's part of the bundle that's unnecessary and DSL service is often less expensive than cable internet as well.

Satellite TV Channels for the Whole Family Some potential buyers are skeptical about satellite TV because of the price difference compared to cable television providers. A common misconception is that the cost-effective form of television will offer limited channels that are either catered to children or adults, but not both.

This is far from the truth because satellite offers a wide choice of programs for kids including comedies, cartoons, movies, and countless educational channels. For adults, satellite TV offer nationwide and international news, a wide range of sports, the latest movies, and a huge selection of specialty channels.
