Satellite TV: Why It's A Better Choice

By Jansen Wilhelmsen


For many businesses, providing some type of television service is an important amenity. For instance, if you are the manager or owner of a senior housing community, this is an amenity that your residents expect. Hospitals and other types of care facilities also provide television services for their patients. For these types of businesses, having satellite TV service installed has many important advantages.

You might think because cable is generally a local company that means the service will cost a bit less. Sadly, this just isn't true. Sometimes a very basic package for cable will be a few dollars less per month than a provider such as DirecTV, but most guests and residents will want more than just a dozen or so channels. When you opt for a package that contains a wider selection, satellite TV is almost always cheaper and typically by a fair amount. It also is important to note that satellite companies do not have to pay a few of the local taxes excised on cable companies, and the cable provider generally passes those fees on to their customers.

Another positive aspect about satellite TV is that the technology is superior to cable. With a satellite, your picture is produced using a digital signal, and digital TV has a much higher quality picture than you would get with cable. If you compare an HD program provided by a cable company side by side with the same program from a satellite provider, the satellite TV definitely provides a better picture. When you add the higher quality visibility with the lower cost, it makes sense to opt for satellite TV.

In addition, satellite TV providers offer a wider array of programming. They tend to offer a wider array of programming packages, as well. You also will receive both West Coast and East Coast feeds of channels such as ESPN and sometimes even the major networks. Because you are using a satellite dish and not hooked up to underground cables from a local cable company, satellite TV is available just about anywhere in the country. If your business is in a smaller community or rural area, cable TV simply might not be available.

For those who wish to have a DirecTV business system installed or wish to switch from providing cable TV to DirecTV, a company such as Integra Systems can make it happen. Integra will help you every step of the way, from installation to repairs and helpful support services. They have been leaders in DirecTV business services for all types of corporate businesses, as well as restaurants, hospitals, senior housing and even in schools.

Another helpful product offered by Integra Systems is Status Solutions. With the installation of Status Solutions, all of your systems can be monitored 24/7. This includes monitoring the fire panels, HVAC and refrigeration equipment as well as safety systems and other monitoring systems. You can have it all integrated and easy to use, providing a higher level of safety and security for all of your guests or patients.
