If you're in the market for quality home entertainment, you're probably thinking about signing up for either cable or satellite TV service. The choice can sometimes seem difficult, but once you do a bit of research on the matter it will be clear that satellite should be your first choice. Ultimately, it offers you more for less, which is always a winning combination.

A state-of-the-art LCD TV is nothing without the appropriate media that can take advantage of all the pixels that it has. A DVD won't be able to use it to the fullest and a Bluray collection can just end up being expensive. Fortunately there are a couple of affordable high definition options for you in cable and satellite services. Although both will save you money over Bluray, you should still choose the one that offers more, with bonus points if it costs less. Satellite service has exactly those two features. It has more 24 hour a day HD channels than cable and it's cheaper. Both services are all about options because the more you have the higher your chances of finding something to entertain you. Satellite just has more.

It also offers something that cable has trouble keeping up with: premium packages. Cable tries to offer something similar, but they invariably end up falling short. It could have something to do with the fact that satellite beams their service directly to your home, making your experience more customizable. Wires are cumbersome and can end up limiting your service, as cable clearly demonstrates. Nevertheless, you'll get even more choices with satellite. An example of a popular package is NFL Sunday Ticket. You will get access to all the games shown on Sunday, no matter where you live. This ends up being perfect for the displaced fans out there who still want to follow their home teams. The package will enable them to watch games from around the country. Not only that, they will be able to watch up to 8 games at once through the special technology that their provider will give them access to. Hardcore fans don't want to miss a beat, and with all the games on screen at the same time, you eyes will never stray away from the action. And if you'd like to get even closer to the action, you can. There are also channels that make use of special camera equipment to get you extremely close to the action near the end zones, where it counts the most. Ultimately, there is no better package for a diehard football fan.

Satellite TV also has cable beat when it comes to the intangibles. Despite their best efforts, your service could experience a glitch or two from time to time. That's when you may have to turn to customer support in order to have your problem resolved. This is yet another area where cable places second. For over ten years, satellite providers have obtained higher customer satisfaction ratings than cable, which is definitely not a glitch. They care more about their customers than cable providers do, and it shows.
