Satellite TV Providers: Now Giving You A Wide Range of Programming Possibilities
By Tim Gorman
Satellite TV became available to homes in the United States in the early 1980s. Back then, consumer-owned satellite dishes were about 12 feet in diameter. Nowadays, though, satellite dishes are much smaller.
There were many satellite TV providers but Dish Network and DirecTV are the two main satellite TV providers today. Another satellite TV provider is Sky Angel, although it offers Christian and family-friendly programming. Sky Angel and Dish Network have an agreement that their customers can view each other's programs using the same equipment.
Dish Network
Dish Network has been providing satellite TV programming since the 1980s. The company is owned by Echostar, a company based in Colorado. In 2003, Dish Network's subscriber base in the United States reached five million households. That same year, Dish Networked partnered with SBC Communications and they began offering SBC Dish Network television service. In 2005, Dish Network bought Voom's satellite and the company added the Voom programming to its satellite TV offering.
In 2005, Dish Network launched its most impressive product to date, PocketDish. With PocketDish, subscribers can view and save anything that was recorded on the Dish Network DVR. Subscribers can download programs or movies onto their PocketDish, take it over to the house of a friend who doesn't have satellite TV and watch the shows from there. Subscribers simply need to hook the PocketDish to a television and that's it...they can now watch satellite TV on a different television.
DirecTV
DirectTV, Dish Network's rival in the satellite TV service industry, reportedly has 15 million subscribers in the United States and 1.5 million subscribers in Latin America. Hughes Electronics introduced DirecTV's first satellite in 1994. Nine years later, in 2003, Hughes Electronics sold DirecTV to News Corporation.
DirecTV is the leading satellite provider in the United States. Like Dish Network, DirecTV offers high-definition satellite service to its subscribers. The company also offers the digital video recorder (DVR) set-top box.
Satellite TV offers a wide variety of programming at your fingertips. Talk to representatives of satellite TV providers and inquire about the service they offer.
