No wonder why the American people
have at least 3 TV sets inside their house. Everywhere they go,
there is always something to click and watch.
Some have Satellite TV for their viewing pleasures. Some pay a
cable company to install cable connections in all of the three
TV sets. But, to 100,000 Americans and foreign nationalities
alike, they opted for Satellite TV for Computer. All these three
products deliver one same benefit for the American user: to
watch programs on TV. The similarities end there. Below, you
will find what these products can offer you and how they differ
from each other:
1. Accessibility
●Satellite TV is made for areas without cable technology or
internet connection, most especially on rural areas and towns.
Setting up of a Satellite dish is needed to get the broadcast
straight into your TV. You would be lucky to get 20 channels.
But at least with your location, you have something to watch on
TV live.
●Cable TV is available in most urban areas and ready-to-use in
terms of programs, with over 150 channels, inside your home.
●Satellite TV for Computer is the most accessible of all three
because the 4000 channels from different parts in the globe
straight to your computer or any home TV. You can also view this
even if you’re not in America. Let’s say, you’ve travelled to a
foreign country. Just as long as there is a reliable internet
connection, then, the software will definitely work.
2. Reception
●Satellite TV provides clarity if your dish is positioned to
receive the broadcast properly, just like a TV antenna. If your
town is uphill, the Satellite TV works better.
●Cable TV is more than able to produce high quality viewing if
there is no weather problem. Cable connection is affected by
seasonal changes.
●Satellite TV for Computer gives high quality resolution and is
not affected by weather nor does it have to be in a high rise
building or place just to get the best reception. Internet
portal is very reliable in terms of reception and as long as
there is internet connection, the reception is perfect.
3. Programs
●Satellite TV have free-to-air broadcast which means, whatever
the broadcast brings to the area, it can be captured and seen on
TV. It can receive from other parts of the world but has its
limitation. On some days, you would be able to view your
favorite TV program. Other times, when reception is not good –
nada.
●Cable TV is trying very hard to compensate for its TV programs
to the clients. The cable companies can offer at most 150 select
channels. Some are live, others are replayed. The main channels
are available though.
●Satellite TV for computer has over 4,500 channels to provide
for their clients, 2000 radio stations world-wide can be heard
and restricted channels can be viewed as well. The channels are
broadcasted in real time too.
4. Installation
●Satellite TV requires a dish and a lot of manual labor just so
to set it up.
●Cable TV requires you to lock up to the company for a period of
12 months so you can avail of the free cable connection fee;
otherwise, you have to pay for it. Upon application, you need to
wait for at most 3 days before you can enjoy the cable TV.
●PC Television software is one click away from
viewing your most awaited TV programs. All in all, installation
on your computer takes 10 minutes. You can also connect the
Computer via DVI, HDMI or VGA – connections available on both
Computer and TV, so you can watch the programs on your
living
room LCD TV, if you prefer.
5. Price
●Satellite TV needs a dish which is costly. But it is yours. It
is a one-time purchase for the dish itself and a post paid or
prepaid monthly fee which is minimal.
●Cable TV entails lots and lots of corporate expenses and all
the taxes involved in it and this expense is being passed to the
consumers. They charge their clients $25-$50 per month just so
to have the cable connection.
●PC Television software costs from $19.95 to $49.95.
This is one-time payment as well with no recurring charges
thereafter. Upgrades are free of charge. You can also install
the software to all the computers in your home without
additional charges.
So, I hope this article will help
you to make the right choice.
