High-definition television is fantastic if you have the system to support it. There are actually three different options you can choose from when deciding if you should get cable or a satellite system. They are obviously cable, satellite, and none of the above.
Cable. It depends on what your local cable company provides in the way of high-definition channels. Some cable companies only offer a handful of channels that are available in high-definition and most of the time you will have to pay extra for this service. You need to figure out how many channels you will be receiving and the cost of those channels and figure out what it will cost you on a per channel basis. This way you will be able to compare the price with satellite. The advantage for cable is that you don’t have to pay extra for your local channels and most of them are now available in HD.
Satellite. There are a couple of things to consider with satellite. You need to factor in the cost of the equipment you will need to buy for satellite, because you will have to buy a HD receiver to be able to view HD channels. Then you need to do the same thing that you did with cable. You need to figure out how many channels you will receive in HD and how much extra it will cost per channel. You need to factor in that you have to pay extra for local channels because most of them now offer their shows in HD format.
None of the Above. This means that you can’t get your local channels in HD without having cable or satellite. If you don’t watch a lot of television, but still enjoy watching it in HD when you do, it might be beneficial to look at not getting either cable or satellite. We found when we hooked our HD receiver up to our regular television that we were able to get the local channels in HD. By using this benefits we saved money every month by not going with cable or satellite and can use that money to buy HD movies.
High-definition is the future of television currently and you need to decide if you want to spend the money on cable and satellite. The benefits of cable are that you get channels in HD and analog and don’t have to pay for the local channels. The benefits of satellite are that you get even more channels in HD and analog, but you have to pay for your local channels. If you only watch the local channels then I would recommend that you don’t go with either service and hook your HD receiver up to your television and tune it to the local channels for free.
