In the world of satellite TV there are satellite TV providers — the companies who provide satellite TV programming, and satellite TV dealers — the companies who sell the programming and the equipment you need to watch it.

In the U.S.A. there are currently two major satellite TV providers — DISH Network and DIRECTV — and hundreds of satellite TV dealers who sell their services and systems.

Due to the recent rise in popularity of satellite TV, satellite TV dealers have sprung up all over the Internet promising the best deals, the best service, and everything else under the sun. But after you sign up for their service they sock you with hidden service fees, provide you with shoddy installation, and offer zero customer service.

So how do you know which satellite TV dealers are the most reputable, will give you the best service, and will sell you DISH Network or DIRECTV’s services at the best possible price?

I’ve spent hundreds of hours researching online satellite TV dealers. Here’s a rundown on the top four dealers — the cream of the crop:

When considering cable vs. satellite TV it can be incredibly confusing, especially with so many commercials touting one system over the other. They both promise lots of perks such as pay-per-view and other features, and each service provider declares they are the best buy for your money. But there really is no comparison satellite TV service providers simply give you the best value for your money across the country.

In order to understand what you are getting for your money, make sure you ask plenty of questions when you compare cable TV and satellite TV. Dont simply rely on advertising hype and your local cable service providers promises.

Why is Satellite TV Better Than Cable? So Many Reasons!

Many people dont realize how much is offered with todays satellite TV systems, assuming that they will be expensive or difficult to install. Not so! In fact, most of todays top satellite TV companies such as service providers Dish Network and DirecTV, will come to your home and do the installation at no extra charge once you have a contract.

Your options are also greater with satellite TV vs. cable most of the larger companies offer their services just about anywhere you can imagine, whether you live high in the mountains, remotely located from the world where no cable reaches, or in a crowded city. Being national companies rather than small, locally owned cable services also means you will benefit from quality service at lower prices. It also ensures you are getting the benefit of state-of-the-art technology. Many cable companies today are either replacing old cable or struggling to keep up while satellite TV providers are forging into the future.

Of course, in the final analysis, it all comes down to quality of programming and service reliability when you compare cable and satellite TV providers.

Here are a few things you should know about satellite TV:

FREE Equipment – Take advantage of a free satellite TV system and FREE installation. You can also purchase or lease your equipment depending on what is best for your needs.

TiVo – TiVo is available only through satellite TV providers and enables you to record, rewind and pause your programming.

HDTV – High Definition programming is always available and not dependent on location and company like it is with cable.

Pay-Per-View – There are twice as many Pay-per-View stations and the sports coverage is much more complete with no black-outs for local stations.

Programming – There are more programming packages and options for you to choose from, so you can tailor something that suits your tastes.

Customer Service – Customer service ranks consistently higher than with cable TV.

Value – Value for the money is superior dollar for dollar, youll get more channels and a better variety of options with satellite TV than most other cable service providers can provide.

Cable Television vs. Satellite TV is an easy choice once you compare services and know the facts. Millions of people have switched to satellite TV providers DirecTV and the Dish Network and more sign up every week. The best value for your dollar is clear Satellite TV.
