Title: Satellite TV Comparison -- Providers and Dealers Compared

Author: Brian Stevens

Article:
<b>Satellite TV Comparison</b>

Satellite TV providers are the companies that offer satellite TV
programming to the public. They purchase satellite TV
programming from networks, independent companies, and radio
stations, then make their programming available to the public
through the use of satellites.

Satellite TV dealers are the companies who sell the satellite TV
services and satellite TV equipment offered by the satellite TV
providers.

In the U.S. there are two major satellite TV providers -- DISH
Network and DIRECTV -- and there are hundreds of satellite TV
dealers who sell their services and systems.

<b>Satellite TV Providers Comparison</b>

<b>DISH Network</b>

DISH Network was launched in 1996, and currently has more than
12 million subscribers. It's ranked #1 in customer satisfaction
among all cable and satellite TV providers by J.D. Power and
Associates.

DISH Network offers 375 channels of all-digital satellite TV
programming including movie channels, pay-per-view programs,
sports packages, and Sirius satellite radio. They have the
biggest variety of movies, shows, and international programming
of the two satellite TV providers.

DISH Network programming starts at $19.99 for 40 program
channels, and goes up to $74.99 for 375 channels, including 60
Sirius radio channels.

DISH Network has 24/7 Internet and toll-free customer service,
and offers a lifetime warranty on their satellite TV systems.

<b>DIRECTV</b>

Started in 1994, DIRECTV was the first DBS (direct broadcast
satellite) TV provider. It currently has more than 14 million

cable and satellite TV providers by J.D. Power and Associates.

DIRECTV offers 250 channels of all-digital programming including
movie channels, pay-per-view, sports packages, and XM satellite

providers.

<b>Satellite TV Dealers Comparison</b>

Due to the rise in popularity of satellite TV, satellite TV
dealers have been popping up all over the country promising the
best deals, the best service, and everything else under the sun.
But many of them have hidden service fees, provide you with
shoddy installation, and give little or no customer service.

I've spent numerous hours researching online satellite TV
dealers to find out who's the most reputable and who has the
best deals. Here's a rundown on the top four dealers:
