Variety

Do you know with Satellite TV you can get over 200 digital-quality channels including premiums such as HBO, Showtime, Starz and Cinemax?

Many of those channels (100 by the end of the year) are available in HD including local, regional, and specialty sports networks.

With satellite you get variety and quality. You won't find a combination like this with most cable providers but you will get lower picture quality, limited HD channels and meager sports offerings.

You've probably heard the myth at Satellite TV reception goes out every time it snows or the wind blows. The truth is, satellite television provides a consistent, crystal clear picture 99.96% of the time - rain or shine. Satellite TV is actually more consistent and interruption-free than your exisiting cable tv provider can offer!

Get more for less

On average, cable charges 26% more per channel than satellite, but according to a September article by David Kaplan at the Houston Chronicle that ratio just went up. The average increase to COMCAST subscribers? 6.1%! Cable providers are citing increased service and a greater number of HD channels as justification for this price hike, but when you're already getting this benefit from satellite at a fraction of the cost per channel why would you pay more to get less?

Best in customer service

Satellite TV providers have consistently come out on top of cable when it comes to customer satisfaction. For the past seven years running studies conducted by the FCC, ACSI, and JD Power and Associates have ranked satellite providers over cable for customer satisfaction.

So, better quality, more variety, and unparalleled customer service at a fraction of what your local cable provider is charging. Switching to satellite just makes sense.
