There are numerous differences between cable and satellite TV beyond how they are able to deliver programming. Horizon Telcom ensures that no matter which TV programming and telecommunication individuals in Chillicothe and southern Ohio wish to use, they are given the best options available.

Benefits of Satellite TV

Satellite TV is delivered via a communications satellite and is received by an outdoor antenna. A service provider will have to visit your home to install a dish and program it to your box. Usually, satellite TV is the better (and sometimes the only) option for people who live in rural areas, but it can be installed practically anywhere a dish can be placed facing south. 

Satellite tends to offer the same channels available as cable but at a lower rate. Satellite TV users typically have more international channels as opposed to cable channels, which may cost more to add if they are available. 

Benefits of Cable TV

Cable TV is delivered to customers via radio frequency signals that are transmitted through coaxial cables or light pulses through fiber-optic cable. Unless a cable line has to be run at the premises, you are able to install the service yourself, meaning there is no reason to wait for the cable guy. 

One of the biggest benefits of choosing cable TV over satellite TV is that, unless there is a power outage, it is unlikely to be affected by the weather. In addition, cable does not normally require you to sign a long-term contract. This makes it very favorable among renters.
