Many people who do want this and are taking the time to research their options (like yourself) are opting for Satellite Television over Cable. Who is the Satellite provider with the most customers? That would be DirecTV. Not only do they have the most customers, but they have also been in the business longer than other Satellite Television providers. This information makes it an easier choice if you are deciding between Satellite companies, but what if you are considering Cable TV? Let's do a comparison so you can understand why so many people are choosing DirecTV instead. A Price ComparisonThe following comparisons were calculated in the early part of this year. The main factor for most people is the price they will pay for the product they get. Because the area in which you live can make a difference in how much your Cable service fees will be the national average is said to be $39.95. DirecTV's prices are set and the location of your home is not a factor. Through my research I found this number for Cable's national average, but I could not find the source this figure came from. I wondered whether it came from a supporter of Cable, Satelite, or was it from neutral researcher. So, I decided to check how much it would cost to get cable in the area I live in the Northeast. The numbers were not good. The standard package was $50 for 74 channels. How many channels would I get for $50 with Direct TV? I would get 195 channels with my choice of either a Showtime Movie Package (9 movie channels) or a Starz Movie Package (12 movie channels) for 12 months for signing up. I decided to check other parts of the country in order to make a fair comparison with Cable. Out West in Seattle, Washington that $50 would get me 86 channels. That's better than 74 channels, but is still nowhere close to 195 channels. Down South in Richmond, Virginia I would get 76 channels. Price Isn't EverythingYou may be thinking that the price difference between the two is pretty significant, but that Satelite makes up for it with equipment and installation costs. Wrong again. When you sign up with Direct TV all the necessary equipment is free. This equipment is installed by professional technicians for free. You are given a free equipment upgrade of either a DVR (Digital Video Recorder) or a HD (High Definition) receiver. You get to choose which one you want. Some Cable providers offer this equipment for free if you are a new customer while some will charge you more money for it. Another incentive for going with Satelite is you can have four receivers installed in four rooms. This allows you to watch four different shows in four different rooms at the same time. Guess what? This is also free for new customers. Take into account that Direct TV has gotten a higher customer satisfaction rating than you know who for six years running and your choice should be pretty easy.
