Realistically, before Cable your choices were only the three major network channels and the local PBS channel, so the idea of receiving at least twenty, if not more, channels was one that boggled the mind. However, 35 years later we are offered hundreds of channels to choose from, both from Cable and Satellite television. So what is the differences that makes choosing satellite over cable so much more preferable; there are actually several valid reasons.

One of the biggest reasons that many people choose to go with satellite as opposed to cable television is because of the reliability; in many areas. Many cable companies are unable to offer a consistent level of reliability, which leaves the customers feeling frustrated and angry, as if they don’t matter to a big company. Many areas tend to be a frustration factor, here are a few that tend to make the deciding factor in going from cable to satellite.

Pricing is usually the biggest issue between the satellite and cable companies. Cable companies tend to offer a great introductory rate for a limited amount of time and then the rates go up substantially, unfortunately the monthly rate tends to vary from month to month. This is usually a big issue because many people budget their bills according to what are supposed to be fixed rates. The satellite companies offer a guaranteed rate for a limited time, but then they guarantee the rate after the introductory time as well.

Service also plays a large part in the decision for satellite service. When there are service issues with cable television getting a technician to come out for service tends to take a great deal of time and is generally frustrating because you are forced to wait all day for a repairman. Satellite can usually fix the issue without having to send a technician, if you should need a technician they schedule as quickly as possible and give you a choice in the time frame for the tech to come to your home.

Continuous service is also top on the list for reasons to choose satellite. With cable when the weather is bad service is also bad; however, with satellite even in the most severe of weather as long as a signal is available you have access, this can be vital in situations such as hurricanes. Satellites help to keep you in touch in an emergency situation. Overall, satellite offers better pricing, better service and also offers access to many more channels than what cable can offer, which is why satellite is a better choice.

These types of sites usually include articles about TV shows, television reviews, TV show recaps, actor/actress information and biographies, and much more. However, some websites are much more informative than others. Here are the top five websites about television.

Website Number One: Television Without Pity

This is a great site to visit for all of your television needs. If you missed an episode of your favorite TV show and are dying to know what happened, this site has the episode recap minutes after the original air time. If you are unsure about a specific show, you can check the reviews to see what others have been saying about it. They have tons of articles, video clips, blogs, and any other TV show information. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, you can always just use the search engine.

Website Number Two- IMDb- The Internet Movie Database

Although this website is directed towards movies, it also has information about all the best television shows that are on TV today. The main information that this site provides is about the actors and actresses. If you are wondering the name of an actor or actress on your favorite TV show, this is the best site to go to. It will tell you the actor’s name, a little biography, and all of the other shows and movies this actor has been in. It also has all kinds of pictures and slideshows to see.

If you are unsure which channel a certain TV show is on, this is the site you should visit in order to find this information.

First, sign up with either Dish Network or Direct TV. And I highly recommend you getting your own subscription instead of borrowing one of your friends, especially if you do alot of traveling and camping. You will need an active satellite account before you can proceed on to the next steps.

2. Next determine where you will be using your satellite most. Whether its home or outside of its main intended location. That way you can purchase the proper equipment for its intended use. Then you need to make sure you have a power source and a portable satellite dish. You can set your dish up in almost any remote place. You just need to be sure your receiver and television has power and also you can get satellite signal.

3. Purchase a portable satellite dish. When purchasing a dish you need to make sure you purchase the dish that is compatible with the satellite company you are signed up with. Also when you buy the portable satellite dish, make sure it has some sort of stand. Stands are not sold with the traditional dish cause they are meant to be placed on buildings or homes. For traveling, I recommend going to a RV store where you can purchase car tops or table top portable dishes. These dishes come with stands and compasses and is easily folded down for easy storage or carrying from one point to another. And next make sure it has coaxial cables to connected to it.

4. We can’t forget about the power. Whether its for traveling purposes in which you need a gas powered generator or an external power source or its your home with ready to use receptacles. If you plan to use the power source beyond the 3 to 4 hours, I recommend getting a gas powered generator or a battery power supply. That way you don’t run down your car battery. And for those of you that decide to use the car battery, you will need an adapter that hooks up to your car battery and provides electrical outlets.

5. Setup at chosen location. You need to make sure your satellite has a clear path between it and the sky. Make sure there aren’t to many trees or buildings that would cause interference with the dish. Place the dish on a table, car or on its mounting station and begin hooking up the coaxial cables. Again make sure it has clear line of path between it and the sky. Once the cables are hooked up, turn it on and go through the setup screen. When you get to the satellite meters, you are ready to start pointing your dish.
