Back in the day, 10 or 15 years ago, the whole world knew that you had satellite TV. You purchased a big satellite dish, no, a really BIG satellite dish and planted it in your yard pointed at the stars and ran some cables from the dish into your home to boxes that sat atop your television. With that you could get channels on your TV from anywhere in the world, if the dish was pointed just right. You could also get no channels at all if the wind was blowing too hard.
With the old time satellite TV dishes every television in the house that was hooked up to the dish would have to watch the same channel at the same time. Believe it or not, a lot of people actually hooked more than one television to the same dish, too. Maybe they did it because the whole family didn't want to be in the same room together or maybe simply to be able to watch TV in several rooms in the house.
You were more likely to see the big satellite dishes in rural and remote areas where there was no cable TV to be had. It was really their only option if they wanted to watch more than just the standard three local channels and some people couldn't even get those three. In the city everybody had cable because they didn't really have the room in their yards for the large satellite dishes.
Times have certainly changed. Satellite TV is still around but the dishes are very small and sit on top or attached to the side of your house. They take up no yard space at all, and even city dwellers are doing satellite now. Many are doing it because of the lower cost of satellite TV services verses the cable bill. Others simply like the quality that satellite can offer them and feel that overall satellite TV is better than cable.
Satellite TV has also seen and welcomed many new television stations than ever before. You can get your hands on a budget friendly package that will offer you more hooks within your home, more television channels and even some movie channels for a fraction of the cost you would pay for a cable bill.
So which one is better: Satellite or Cable? That really depends on who you ask. For most it is a personal preference so the old saying "seeing is believing" is something that you should take in consideration. If you haven't tried satellite, now is the best time to do so!
