Other Frequently Asked Questions:

Don't I get more channels with satellite?

Not necessarily. When you compare the channels offered from cable to those from satellite, the numbers are about the same. Some satellite providers use inflated numbers to advertise the total of channels they offer although the numbers might be even less when offered to individual towns.

Is satellite cheaper?

At first, satellite might appear cheaper as advertised. However, you'll have to factor in additional non-recurring or monthly costs for setup fees, equipment for each room needing service, local stations, and repair.

How does installation work?

Vision Communications employs a local staff who will make sure your location is ready for cable use. With satellite, you either have to find a freelance installer or do it yourself (get on the roof, clear obstructions, test angles to get the best signals, run wires through the walls, connect to the phone outlet, etc.)

Does cable offer a better picture?

Although they're about the same, satellite signals can be hindered by nature's factors like weather or trees. Digital cable displays an excellent picture, but basic cable is also an excellent, reliable alternative.

If you're considering switching to satellite, think about this:

What are your current favorite channels? What other channels you would like to see? Make sure to factor in your local channels before you compare cable with satellite service. Realize that some channels, such as PBS, might be offered on satellite but not from local stations.
How many TV sets need to get the satellite signal? You will probably have to add at least $5 extra per TV per month because each will need connections.
