Why Satellite Tv Is Better Than Cable Tv
By Dale Lawrence, Sat Dec 10th
Satellite TV is Making the Cable Companies Run Scared Satellite TV holds a great advantage over the cable TVcompanies. Not only is the picture and sound quality superior,but there’s more choice in what to watch. If you said toyourself ‘there’s nothing on TV’, switch to satellite. Thedifferences couldn’t be more obvious. Cable quality vs. Satellite quality
With the limited bandwidth that cable offers, it’s no wonder thequality is poor. First, the cable wire comes from a hubtransmission system somewhere near your home. At source, thesignal is passable, but by the time it runs through yourcommunity, splitting to each house, the signal has degraded. Asthe cable is RF (radio frequency) based, it has converted froman audio/video signal (at source) to RF and then needs tore-convert back into audio/video for your television. Along theway, anything broadcasting through the air has tried to get intothe cable line and will appear as noise on your TV screen. Unfortunately, we are our worst enemy as well. Look at yourcables and splitters inside your house. Poor quality RG6 or RFcable can cause great loss of signal too. Turn on your TV andhave someone bend your cable in half and watch for ghosting onyour picture. If it is ghosting, you have unshielded cables!Replace them with something better like Monster Cable. RF cablehas a tough time producing stereo sound too, so don’t expectgreat audio. Another culprit of poor cable quality is the cablesplitter. Most splitters have just a positive and negative wireinside (it’s a noise box). Throw it out and again replace with agood splitter (Monster Cable makes quality ones). Satellite signals stay digital until the receiver. That meansbetter picture and audio. The picture can be 2-3 times betterresolution from your cable picture. The sound from the satellitereceiver is true stereo and can be Dolby Digital surrounddepending on the program you are watching. Plus there are manymore channels to choose from. By the way, if you have a digital box from the cable company,you
have only a handful of digital channels, the rest are thesame if you remove the cable box. Satellite companies like Direct TV (or DirecTV) and DishNetwork, provide national satellite service with hundreds ofdigital stations. The picture is clear and crisp, especially ifyou spring for a high definition receiver to match your HD readyTV. While most cable signals are below 150 lines of interlacedresolution, standard satellite can approach DVD quality (480i)and HD content will be sent at either 1080i or 720p(progressive). A regular 27” TV has the capability of no morethan 500i while a HD television can produce the full range. What are interlaced and progressive signals? Interlacedbroadcast was developed from the old NTSC format where thedesigners in the 1920’s and 30’s couldn’t get the TV to scanevery line from the top of the screen to the bottom fast enough.They needed to cheat by having the TV scan all the odd lines; 1,3, 5 etc. then go back and scan the even lines; 2, 4, 6 etc. Theresult is thick black lines running horizontally across yourscreen and only half the picture appearing. These flickeringlines prevented you from sitting close to the television withoutgetting eye strain. As the TVs got bigger, you sat farther away. The new HD televisions scan all the lines progressively andrefresh the screen much quicker. It is like looking through yourfront window with horizontal blinds. Turn the rod so the blindsare half open. The street outside is now half covered likeinterlaced pictures and you only see half the picture at onetime. Now pull the cord to fully open the blinds. You now seethe entire window unobstructed or like a progressive signal. Satellite TV andRadio :: Your #1 Source for Satellite Television and SatelliteRadio.
