Satellite TV is a popular alternative to standard TV services, especially among rural residents. Satellite television providers send signals to satellites above the earth, which then transmit those signals to smaller dishes attached to homes.
Satellite TV receivers, like your set-top box, convert the signals into an image to your TV, similar to how your modem converts incoming signals into internet service for your computer.





Satellite TV can be a better option, especially for rural residents, due to its extensive coverage. DIRECTV and DISH, the main satellite TV providers, cover nearly 100% of the country, offering premium packages with high channel counts. This makes satellite TV a popular alternative to standard cable TV services, which may not be available in remote areas. The reliability and high-quality service of satellite TV, delivered through advanced technology, ensure a superior entertainment experience for customers.
If you’re considering DISH or DirecTV satellite TV service, you have two choices: Install it yourself or choose free professional installation. Professional installation is easier, faster, and safer.
