Know Your Types of TV Service\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The first step to choosing the right TV service provider for your viewing needs is to know the types of service out there. The main TV providers fall into four general categories: cable, satellite, fiber, and streaming.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

1. Cable<\/b><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Cable TV delivers programming to subscribers via coaxial cables that transmit radio frequency signals. This requires a cable box, a remote, and \u2014 most likely \u2014 a professional technician to come and install the equipment into your home.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Cable TV is still the most popular service type due to its reliability (unlike satellite, it won\u2019t go out during a storm) and its availability (roughly 89% of U.S. residents have access). Plus, most cable companies also offer internet and home phone services, making bundling internet and tv<\/a> a breeze.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Despite cable\u2019s wide reach, you have to make sure there are providers in your area. Rural areas are less likely to be within a cable provider\u2019s service area.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Cost:<\/b><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Basic cable packages run at $20\/month<\/b>, while premium packages with tons of channels can cost over $100\/month<\/b>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
