Dish Network Is A Much Better Value Than The Cable Tv Industry
By Julia Hall
Both the cable TV and the satellite TV industries make a number of claims about which has the superior service and value, but the only way to know for sure which one is better is to compare the typical cable TV company with the typical satellite TV company. There are hundreds of cable TV companies that are more or less equivalent scattered all across the United States, but there are only two satellite TV companies to compare them against. Just for the sake of argument, we might as well pick Dish Network.
If we line the features of the typical cable TV company up next to the features of Dish Network, the first thing we'll notice is a huge difference in the number of channels offered. The cable company offers between ninety and one hundred channels, while Dish Network offers upwards of four hundred. While Dish Network doesn't offer all of those channels in any one programming package, they do provide a lot more choices among different types of programming packages and additional programming for Dish Network subscribers.
This means that while cable subscribers are stuck with whatever those ninety to one hundred channels consist of, Dish Network subscribers can choose programming packages that range from thirty channels all the way up to two hundred and seventy channels. They can also choose from four programming packages the feature heavy concentrations of Spanish language programming and one programming package featuring seventeen channels of Chinese language programming in addition to all of the choices in English.
Dish Network can also draw from this huge number of channels when their subscribers want to customize their programming packages. For example, a variety of seasonal sports subscriptions are available from Dish Network. Seasonal Sports subscriptions are generally available for every major type of sports and provides every game played for that league during the regular season. Seasonal Sports Subscriptions

allow you to watch lots of basketball, baseball, hockey, and college sports. You can also subscriber to regional sports networks to get even more sports coverage. Local channels and XM satellite radio channels are also available as additional programming from Dish Network.
Dish Network also provides more High Definition programming than any other television service provider. The typical cable company struggles to offer a couple of high definition channels, but Dish Network offers thirty national high definition channels plus local high definition channels in many markets.
So how can Dish Network offer so much more? The answer is that most cable TV companies are still using cable networks that are relics of the eighties before satellite television technology took off. They've benefited somewhat from the invention of new data compression technologies, but that doesn't change the fact that those cable network's simply can't handle that amount of data needed to transmit all of those hundreds of channels that give Dish Network its edge.
Of course, the cable industry as a whole is trying to make upgrades, but the enormous expenses associated with replacing thousands of mile of cable in being passed onto cable TV subscribers. That's one of the reasons why cable rates are so high and are likely to keep going up on the order of eight percent a year on average for the foreseeable future. And that's where Dish Network really has the cable industry beat: value.
