Digital Cable vs. Satellite
Posted: Thu Sep 20, 2007 8:53 pm
Thought I would start this thread over here instead of cluttering up the Roar room with non-football issues (ok directly non-football as yes TV can be considered a football topic - you all know what I am getting at!!)
A question about satellite and if it is a viable option:
I have 4 TV's in my house. With cable I have a digital box connected to 2 of those TV's and the other 2 get just basic regular old cable. For the most part I just don't get the movie channels or some of the "specialty" channels that I pay extra for on the 2 TV's that are not on a digital box, which is just fine. The TV in the toy room only needs to get Family channel or treehouse TV at this stage of my girl's life. the TV in my bedroom doesn't get the movie channels but that is fine as it does have a DVD player. So I'm not worried about not getting those "extra" channels. I get all 4 TV's working fine with the channels I need and I only pay the price of 1 cable. In other words I get 4 TV's working for the price of 1.
If I were to move to satellite, would I need to get a satellite box for each TV, even for what I consider to be "basic" cable?
