What do you get with Cable that you don't get
with Satellite? |
| |
|
With Cable you get low-cost installation on
every TV in your home |
| |
- There is no need to purchase costly
receivers for every T.V. set.
- Each set in your home can be tuned to a
different channel at the same time.
- Just one economical monthly payment is
needed for all programming and equipment.
Satellite companies generally require customers
to buy costly receivers for each set on which
you want to watch their service. Installation is
expensive, often hundreds of dollars for each
set. |
| |
|
With Cable you get local channels and
networks |
| |
- Cable provides local channels and U.S.
network affiliates such as ABC, NBC, CBS, and
FOX.
- Area news, weather, and sports.
- Free public service announcements and
community bulletin boards.
Satellite companies require an antenna or a
basic cable subscription to get local channels. |
| |
|
With Cable you get convenient local customer
service |
| |
- Full-time customer service and maintenance
is available free of charge.
- In-home repair service is one free phone
call away.
- Service guarantees are provided for all
appointments.
Satellite companies don't always offer local
repair or customer service. Customers are
generally required to purchase their own
equipment and become totally responsible for
maintenance and repair. Equipment may need to be
shipped back to the manufacturer for repair. |
| |
|
With Cable you get the Total Home
Communications package |
| |
- Existing in-home wiring is capable of
delivering a broad range of new and expanding
digital services, including:
- high speed Internet access
- interactive services
- vastly expanded channel capacity
- as technology advances, in-home cable is
updated at no charge!
Satellite companies may provide Internet
access, but a phone line is needed for two-way
communication. It may never be as fast as cable
or as reasonably priced. Plus, most satellite
customers are required to purchase their own
equipment. |
| |
|
With Cable you get local support in your
community |
| |
- Cable companies pay local taxes and
provide jobs within the community.
- Local charities and causes important to
your community are supported by your local
cable company.
- Area schools receive free cable
installation and educational programming.
Satellite companies are national or
international and rarely have a local office or
telephone number. They seldom, if ever, support
the local community at any level. |
