Though cheep cable services are available, they pale in comparison to satellite TV deals. Even the best discount cable rate you find can't compare to the regular every-day low price of 100% Digital Satellite systems can offer. DirecTV or DishNetwork, for example, has the lowest price basic package in the business. No matter what discount cable offer you have, for the amount of programming for your viewing dollar none will cost less than Satellite TV.
Since cable companies use physical wires and cabling to connect their service via an arterial distribution system running many miles to the end subscriber, the signal must pass through several amplifiers and line extenders to get the service to the customers TV. The cable company can only offer cheap rates in densely-populated areas where they already have a solid client base and have laid out the proper infrastructure.
Satellite TV use the latest generation advanced satellite signals that are received using a simple dish antenna. In fact the cable company use the same type of satellite receiving equipment to receive the same satellite signals you receive on a home satellite system, then re-broadcast the channels using multiple modulators, amplifiers and miles of coax to distribute the cable product to the end user. The satellite user owns a private cable system mounted on the house or on a ground mount. The satellite systems cabling is much shorted therefore having less signal loss and picture degradation, providing a much sharper more defined picture end product.
Compared to cable technology, the satellite dish is cheaper to manufacture, install and maintain. This is why TV is generally cheaper and more efficient than even the best discount cable TV rate.
