Is Satellite Better than Cable?

Common Sense

Despite loud protests from our competition, a common sense look at the facts will show that DISH Network is the best value in pay TV. DISH Network gives you more for your dollar. More of the programming you want, better technology and superior service. We invite you to compare. 30 million Americans already have. That's why DISH Network is the fastest growing TV provider in America. You CAN have great TV at a great price with DISH Network.

DISH Network and DIRECTV both claim to offer the best value.

Deciding who's telling the truth is simple. Just find the channels you want and see which provider charges less to see them. It's true that certain channels, like FX and Bravo, don't come in our basic package. That's because, unlike our competition, we don't force you to pay for channels you don't watch. If you do want these channels, you can get them in our next highest package and STILL PAY LESS than you would with DIRECTV.

DISH Network and DIRECTV both advertise attractive package prices.

But with DISH Network our price covers the cost of service to two televisions. DIRECTV charges $5 for every TV after the first.

DISH Network and DIRECTV both claim to offer the most HD Channels.

DISH Network offers over 200 HD channels with HD programming. DIRECTV has only 130. But don't take our word for it. Click here for an independent report².

DISH Network and DIRECTV both claim to offer the best DVR.

DISH Network's ViP 722 is the most acclaimed DVR in the industry winning awards in 2008 from CNET, one of the most trusted sources in technology. Our competition likes to call our awards "dated." That's because DIRECTV's technology hasn't won any awards. In fact, it's just the opposite. CNET called DIRECTV's DVR, "a headache." Fact is our DVRs have tons of features that DIRECTV can't touch. Features like Picture-in-Picture, and a 30-second skip button that let's you fly through commercials. Click here for a side-by-side showdown between our two DVRs.

And the lead DISH Network has in technology is only growing with the recent launch of our ViP® 922 SlingLoaded™ DVR. The 922 has a one Terabyte hard drive, by far the largest in the industry. It also has built-in Sling technology, which means you can manage and view your live and recorded programming from just about any laptop or mobile device.

DISH Network and DIRECTV both claim to offer the best sports.

If you want the best in sports programming at the best possible price, DISH Network has you covered. We offer the official NFL RedZone - a channel that takes you live to every touchdown from every Sunday afternoon game, every week - plus NFL Network, Local Sports Networks and all the ESPN channels. In addition to over 100 NFL games, DISH Network carries the best basketball, baseball, hockey and even International sports, including soccer and cricket. And we do all of this for a fraction of what DIRECTV charges for Sunday Ticket, which costs $400 a season when you add the HD option.

For most people, long gone are the days of TV rabbit ear antennas and adjusting V-hold. But if you think cable TV is the best alternative, you should learn more about the advantages of satellite television. Join the millions who are switching to DISH Network. You'll see why satellite is the fastest growing broadcast sector -- simply, Satellite TV is better than cable.

If you are currently a cable subscriber, consider these satellite TV benefits:

Better reception
More channels for the same price
Free in-home installation by professional DISH Network installers
Exclusive DISH Network programming
100% all-digital signal

Compare Satellite TV Reception Quality
Satellite TV has no "snow." While cable companies talk about digital cable, the truth is that most of their channels are analog. Analog often means a fuzzy picture. By contrast, DISH Network signals do not degrade into fuzzy or snowy pictures. Reception is much better with Satellite TV.

Plus, there is no need to worry that the crew digging up your street to repair the neighborhood sewer line is going to cut your connection. Satellite TV service is more reliable than land-based services and your equipment is on your property.

Cable versus Satellite TV Programming
Satellite TV offers 200-plus channels and more high-definition television programming (HDTV), giving you more content than cable. All satellite TV channels are broadcast in digital format for the highest quality picture and sound.

DISH Network is the home of the best sports and movies in HD as well as the best HD DVR in the industry.

Compare Satellite TV Costs
Satellite TV is often lower cost than cable, has more options, and offers free installation. Cable can't do that. When you order through VMC Satellite you can get great deals on 100% digital channels, and free DISH equipment and installation in up to 6 rooms. If your equipment needs maintenance or repair, our preferred provider will send a professional installer to your home.

Free Satellite Dish Equipment
DISH Network gives you all the equipment you need to enjoy dish TV programming at no cost, plus a free digital video recorder (DVR).

A DVR allows the TV experience to be interactive. You can stop, pause or rewind live television. With cable, you need to pay an extra fee or purchase your own DVR.
