“A signal from the sky to make the cable companies
cry”

Satellite Television is revolutionizing the way we enjoy entertainment.
This relatively new technology is making millions of people
all over our country happy all day long and all night. There
are two primary ways one gets entertainment programming
into there home and onto their Television. The old style way is
to run millions and millions of miles of cable all over
the country and have thousands of people in charge of maintaining
those lines and setting up new connections. The new way
is to call one of the top DIRECTV retailers, like Satellite
Solutions, and tell them you want to sign up. In most cases
installation and all the equipment you need are provided
to you for free. After you’ve decided that satellite
Television is the way to go, and you’ve called Satellite Solutions
and placed your order, an install team will show up very
shortly afterwards and set up your new satellite system.
They will hook up the satellite dish to the side of your
house near the roof and then covertly run wires from the
dish into your homes. The wires are then connected to a
receiver / receivers. The receiver then delivers the signal
to your Television. With satellite Television you’re looking at a
few hundred feet of cables. With the standard cable providers
you’re literally looking at a few million miles of
cable. Which one seems harder to maintain?
The word cable has become synonymous with ‘the good
stuff’ that comes on Television. This is no longer true. Avid
fans of satellite Television will certainly tell you otherwise.
Slowly but surely the nation is catching on to the fact
that cable no longer means quality programming. Cable has
developed a reputation of disturbance, poor service, and
constantly climbing premiums. Satellite Television has developed
a reputation of superiority and is quickly gaining authority
status amongst the quickly growing customer base. The deep
inner workings of Satellite Television can be complicated on the
engineering and electrical level but to the consumer it
is a super easy concept; you order the service, the service
is performed, a signal is sent direct from a dedicated satellite
to your home via the satellite dish and that’s it.
Since the signal is sent direct from a satellite to you,
you have complete control over the exact programming you
want.
Lets elaborate on this concept a little further. We already
covered the fact that cable companies use millions of miles
of cable to set you up. You’ve probably seen plenty
of commercials talking about how great cable is and how
satellite Television is a whole new world that you do not want to
enter. Well the truth of the matter is that the cable companies
use satellites! That’s right. They receive their signals
from a satellite and then filter it down into their massive
network of cables. Due to the nature of the cable company’s
networks the digital signal they receive with their satellites
is downgraded to an analog signal and then sent to all of
you. If you have cable, you will feel comforted to know
that any channel that is not three digits long is analog.
Analog is an older, slower, and lower quality signal in
regards to Television entertainment that is prone to electrical
disturbances and static. You might be asking yourself, ‘what’s
with all the downgrading and the millions of miles of cable?’
Well that’s an excellent question. Maybe bad planning
is the cause of this problem. You might be pondering ‘why
not just send the signal direct to everyone’s house
with a miniature sized satellite dish?’ The answer
to that question will lead you right to DIRECTV and Satellite
Solutions. DIRECTV and Satellite Solutions will give you
all the equipment you need for free, come to your house,
install the dish and run the few wires you need, set up
your box and teach you how to use the system. We have streamlined
the process, developed a better product and millions of
people are realizing this everyday.
