Direct TV uses a satellite dish to give programming that rivals the best cable packages at much cheaper prices. They use a Whole home DVR that can be accessed from anywhere to control all of your TV's.

"Satellite TV offers better picture quality than cable TV. However, harsh weather conditions may affect the picture on the TV when using a satellite. There are also a wide variety of choices when using a satellite versus cable TV>"

If you are referring to ETV Corp's Satellite Direct, then the answer is 'No'. But if you are looking for the fastest, easiest and cheapest way to get access tons of live and on-demand channels via computer, then this software/service is one option to consider.

Is satellite tv better than cable tv?

Satellite TV is better only in some cases. It is better in areas that have no cable service or have very limited cable selection. In some major areas with cable carrier competition, satellite is actually more expensive than cable. Satellite TV is a great choice for those in rural areas. This is because cable has a limited reach because of isntallition issues.


Do satellite dishes provide better reception than cable service?

I believe that satellite dishes do provide better reception than cable service. I believe this because satellite dishes are bigger and getting their signals from huge satellites in space. They have less interference factors that affect them than cable service does and they are less likely to go off air as often happens with cable service. Satellite dishes also offer all HD channels where as with cable you have to pay an extra fee for HD many times. I think that satellite dishes receive stronger signals and are better equipped to interpret those signals than cable service is. I also believe that the satellite signals are jumbled less often than cable tv and because of this you get a clearer picture and more channels.

Is reception from live satellites clearer than cable tv reception?

Generally satellite reception is better than cable even when the two are both sent digitally. A satellite signal transfer is more direct and therefore has less chance of interference. The cable signal travels through many feet of wire and connection points. These provide a greater chance of interference. The only time the opposite is true is during bad weather when the satellite signal can degrade.

Is wireless TV better than cable?

That's a tough one. We've had `wireless TV' since the first TV broadcast transmitter went on the air. It was free and still is. Then came cable and it was followed by satellite systems. I've had both cable and satellite. My personal preferences are for one of the satellite providers over cable, but unless you can get a good `line of sight' to the satellite with your receiving dish, you may have no choice but to opt out for cable. NO, NAOL IS

Why is cable television better than satellite television?

There are only a few benefits to cable over satellite. Mainly that is that you won't lose your signal in heavy weather. After that Directv and Dish have either similiar or superior programming at what is usually a lower price. Of course if you have the benefit of competition between providers in your area then you can get much better deals than the rest of us.
