Comparing both the cable TV to Satellite TV is like to compare the old one to new one. Hence the cable TVs are outdated and the satellite TVs are latest. In cable TV it is attached through the cable wires and in satellite TV it is done digitally.
Here's a comparison of cable TV vs. satellite TV:
Cable TV and Satellite TV Fees
Cable TV
In cable TV the monthly fees is fixed and it provide the live programme and include so many channels.
Satellite TV
In satellite TV the monthly rental depends on the DTH service provided by different providers. And satellite TV providers broadcast of their entire programme in digital format.
Cable TV and Satellite TV Equipment
Cable TV
Cable TV equipment consists of a cable wire that runs from a main junction box to the cable box that connects to a television. DVR (digital video recorders) cost extra and basic installation.
Satellite TV
Satellite TV equipment consists of a satellite TV dish and receivers. You also have the option of getting a free DVR so you can record your favorite shows, or a free HD (high definition) receiver so you can watch your shows in high definition.
Cable TV and Satellite TV Quality and Reliability
Cable TV
Cable TV broadcasts some of their programming in digital format and some of their programming in analog format, so picture quality can vary from sharp to unclear. Cable TV blackouts average 4% to 6% a year, and in most areas if you have a problem with your service you have to call for help during business hours.
Satellite TV
DTH Network only blackout only for a few second and it comes back after sometime, it only happens during the rainy season. If any DTH users have any problem you can call Customer Care in the toll free number given by the particular service provider.
Cable operators and the direct-to-home (DTH) operators are on the verge of a major price war, considering that the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) is considering a reduction of the existing pricing formula for broadcasters on DTH, which is likely to bring down Indian DTH bills by half.
Experts believe that the new formula means cheaper content on DTH platforms compared to cable services, which will initiate the price war. As per the current scenarioa, DTH operators have to pay broadcasters 50 per cent of the tariff fixed for cable homes by Trai. While in the new revised formula by TRAI DTH operators will have to pay 30% rather than the existing 50%.
Whatever is on the horizon, one thing is sure that the Indian DTh consumers are going to enjoy this and be treated like kings, as they get better technology at cheaper rates.
