There's a battle going on between Cable TV and Satellite TV. Many people wonder what the best choice really is. The best choice may lay in these factors:PopularityBoth Cable TV and Satellite TV are popular. Although cable still is more popular overall, satellite TV has made huge gains on cable TV.EquipmentCable TV systems require a cable to be installed from the network to your house. If your street has no cable you may need to wait a while before it is available in your area.
Besides the cable you need a receiver. With digital services you need an additional box.Satellite TV requires a satellite dish, a receiver and a cable from the dish to your TV (no digging in your garden).Reception QualityCable TV has analog channels and even though you can upgrade to digital services, analog channels will still be analog, meaning an often fuzzy picture. Satellite TV is completely digital, which gives you all the advantages of digital systems. Very heavy rain or snow can obstruct reception briefly, but generally this happens very rarely.
Reception quality is much better with Satellite TV.ProgrammingHere it gets really interesting.

Also, Satellite TV is more advanced in HDTV (High Definition Television) services.PricingUsually Satellite TV is less expensive than Cable TV due to many additional costs that are related to Cable TV: franchise fees, taxes, plus costs for any pay per view services, and equipment costs. Dish Network Programming Package starts at only $29.99 per month.Interactive ServicesIn general Satellite TV has more interactive services than Cable TV.
