» Satellite Television - Helpful Tips
When choosing a satellite TV provider, check out the channel packages each provider offers. Decide what combination of TV channels, movies, and sports is best for your household.
Ask satellite companies if they carry your local channels. Competing satellite providers do not necessarily provide locals channels in the same markets.
Keep in mind that satellite TV generally has better broadcast quality than cable, but is more prone to interference from heavy snow or rain. Also satellite service requires a south-facing surface on which to mount the dish.
Ask if high-definition (HD) programming is available, particularly if you have an HDTV, and what it costs.
Check installation and per-room charges.
Inquire about package deals. Satellite companies usually have packages with digital video recorder (DVR) companies.
The two major satellite TV providers in the U.S. use incompatible equipment. If you change providers, you will need to change the dish and box.
