ALL ABOUT DIGITAL SATELLITE
There
are only two National Digital Satellite Programming providers, they
are DirecTV and
What is the difference?
Not a lot actually. You may think of them as The Basha's and Safeway of Digital Communications. Like two large grocery stores you can get the brands you know and trust from either one. At the grocery you pick up brand names like Libbys or Del Monte and you know you can depend on the quality to be there when you get them home. The same is true of shopping for ESPN or THE DISCOVERY CHANNEL, you can buy from either vendor and the quality and the content will be consistent. So like grocery shopping it is a matter of pricing and personal preference. Unlike grocery shopping you must pick one of the two providers and purchase reception equipment ( your "shopping cart" ) . This equipment consists of one Satellite Antenna ( "Dish" ) any required cabling and switches, and a Receiver ( "Black Box" ) for each set that you want to provide independent satellite service to.

Once you have selected a vendor you purchase a system to meet your needs. The first question is how many TV's do you want to serve with satellite programming? When calculating ones viewing needs for satellite it is important to remember that you must purchase a receiver for each television that you want to serve satellite programming to. However, if there are more TV's in the house than there are people to watch them then you may only want to purchase as many receivers as you have people and send the signal from one of the receivers to more than on television. This is called "Backfeeding" It is a handy way to save money ( on upfront equipment costs and ongoing monthly service fees ) and still have the ability to view programming on any TV in the house.
