Here in Ecuador everything is different, cable is cheaper, provides more channels by dolar spent and both provide pvr, however some people have told me that satellite quality is much better than cable. Is it? Both claim excellent quality for SD channels AND 1080p, dolby 5.1 for hd channels... Should I switch to cable?
There is much more compression on copper wire plus Cable lacks reliability. I don't know about Fiber but a lot of compression is bull shit. Make your own choice but Satellite is best.
A geostationary satellite orbits the earth at over 22 thousand miles above the earths surface. In order for satellite providers to send their video feed from space, they have to compress their signals. Satellite uses the most compression of any provider out there (fiber, cable). It all has to do with bandwidth. When it comes to internet speeds, it goes Fiber Optic, Cable, Satellite. Satellite internet is capable of around 1.5mb. What makes you think their HD video is going to be any different?
We were paying $60/month for 60 standard-def channels on cable. But on Dish Network, we pay $55/month for 200 high-def channels, plus the Dish Network DVR is better. And during the install, the local satellite co. that installed our DN called to make sure it was going alright. Classy company.
@Thenicedude3 You dont do much research do you. I do have alot of commercial free channels. And you dont have to pay for every movie! Only newly released . So before you start guessing you should do a little more research.
