Satellite TV holds a dazzling advantage over the cable TV businesses . Not only is the picture and sound quality superior, but theres more choice in what to watch. If you said to yourself theres nothing on TV, switch to satellite. The differences couldnt be more obvious.

Cable quality vs. Satellite quality

With the limited bandwidth that cable offers, its no wonder the quality is poor. First, the cable wire comes from a hub transmission system somewhere near your home. At source, the signal is passable, but by the measure it runs through your community, splitting to each house, the signal has degraded. As the cable is RF (radio frequency) based, it has converted from an audio/video signal (at source) to RF and then needs to re-convert back into audio/video for your television. Along the way, anything broadcasting through the air has tried to get into the cable line and will appear as noise on your TV screen.

Unfortunately, we are our worst enemy as well. Look at your cables and splitters inside your house. Poor quality RG6 or RF cable might cause successful loss of signal too. Turn on your TV and have someone bend your cable in half and watch for ghosting on your picture. If it is ghosting, you have unshielded cables! Replace them with something better like Monster Cable. RF cable has a tough time producing stereo sound too, so do not expect grand audio. Another culprit of poor cable quality is the cable splitter. Most splitters have just a positive and negative wire inside (its a noise box). Throw it out and again replace with a sizeably successful splitter (Monster Cable makes quality ones
