See the problem is that cable has been around for a lot longer than satellite dish companies. They are sort of the big dinosaurs of their industry. People are still a lot more comfortable about calling the cable company when they move, than calling the dish company and have something installed on their roofs, or god forbid, having to do it themselves.

But if you don’t mind going out on limb, the dish network deal is a better one. Usually, you get a lot more channels, more doodads than you do with cable, and the deals tend to be better.

Say, you opt to go with a Dish Network satellite tv solution. Since they are still kind of trying to educate the public about their product, they are eager for your business. This is a good thing, since you can get biggest bang for your buck this way. They give away the first three months for free. The best you can do with your local cable company is maybe a discount for the first couple of months.

They also tend to throw in a lot more channels and HD premium channels are no exception. You will definitely get more channels than you can watch on a regular basis. But if you don’t have the time, but you do have the burning desire to watch a particular show, they also giving away high-capacity DVRs (digital video recorder) away. Think of DVRs as a sophisticated VCRs. You don’t program the recording by time and channel, though. You get to look up your favorite TV show and the device takes care of the rest. If they change the lineup for some reason, the DVR gets notified and makes adjustments accordingly.

All in all the Dish Network offer is far better than anything your local cable company may offer you. Do the right thing, and at least educate yourself about your options.
