The Leaders in Satellite TV

Will Seth and Summer be able to work things out? Will Sydney survive another dangerous mission? Will Jack be able to solve the mysteries of the lost island?

The answers to these questions are what couch potatoes and entertainment lovers look forward to every week. Across the land, people tune in to their favorite television shows and indulge themselves in many hours of total enjoyment. Much time and passion have been invested in the lives of the characters that populate the small screen. And there is no better way to celebrate this fervor than by watching them in the purest reception possible.

Gone is the age of erratic transmissions from unreliable antennas. What used to be a plethora of channels offered by cable television is now a fast fading memory. Viewers have evolved, and their tastes demand a more exquisite service.


Enter the Era of Satellite Television

Satellite technology has made high definition television viewing a reality. Compared to a normal television broadcast, satellite television offers higher resolution and more details in digital quality transmissions. The results are shows of the highest visual quality, conveying images which are almost lifelike. A show featuring wild beasts, for example, would look like a real safari tour. To avail of this service, you’ll only need a satellite dish, a receiver, and a remote control, which would be provided upon subscription.

There are two major players in the Satellite TV industry.


DirecTV

The first is DirecTV. DirecTV is the satellite TV provider with the widest customer base, amounting to over 12 million subscribers. This is made possible by DirecTV’s presence in all 50 states. DirecTV also boasts of the most comprehensive sports package in their programming, offering exclusive broadcasts of the NFL Sunday Ticket, as well as the Mega March Madness during the NCAA hoops season. With four orbiting satellites, DirecTV assures no problems with crystal clear reception.

DirecTV is also at the forefront of bringing new media to our homes. They offer specific packages to owners of High Definition TV (HDTV) sets. HDTVs are capable of even higher resolutions with amazing details. DirecTV is likewise pioneering the satellite internet service, through its partner, DirecWAY. This internet service offers connection at trailblazing speed.


Dish Network

The other king of the industry is Dish Network. With 10.5 million subscribers in all 50 states of the US, as well as Puerto Rico, Dish Network’s fleet of nine orbiting satellites provides a slightly larger programming to its customer base. Not to be outdone by its fellow leader, Dish Network offers optional sports packages like the NBA League Pass, NHL Center Ice and exclusive coverage of other events. Dish Network also has a thorough lineup of foreign language programs in Arabic, Chinese, Greek, Russian, Spanish and a lot more.

Dish Network also offers optional HDTV packages for subscribers with compatible systems. A good number of their programming caters to this particular market, offering up to nine high definition stations for their enjoyment.
