Satellite TV | Sky TV

Sky Television is probably the most widely accessible access to Digital TV today.

Whilst Cable TV has a somewhat limited reach determined by the existing cable TV infrastrucure, Satellite TV dominated by Sky Television has a simple qualifcation to receive the signal .... your house simply needs an approximate southern line of sight to the Sky (is there a coincidence in the company name?)

The cable network is unlikely to expand in the near future as it is extremely expensive to expand that network needing a physical extension to the underground network.

Therefore, if you do not have street network accessibility to the cable network (Virgin or associated companies), then dvb-tv.co.uk recommends Sky TV as your digital TV solution.

Sky Television has some attractive propositions including extended television channels, broadband internet as well as unlimited telephone calls starting from an incredible £26 per month.Considering that many of us already pay £15 per month for broadband alone, this is an extremely competitive and attractive offer.

You may be considering Freeview and no-one would blame for considering a free alternative to analogue TV, there are however one or two snags:

1. Not all TVs have a scart cocket. Most Freeview decoders require a scart socket whereas Sky is forgiving and can deliver digital TV via a standard RF (analogue) TV transmission standard

2. Freeview delivers much less channels than the Sky standard offering. Sky also delivers many of the channels with a +1 offering meaning that if you miss a programme on one channel, you stand a great chance of being able to catch it 1hr later.

You need to decide whether the Sky offer is right for you, but it is the most accessible and extensive Digital TV offer available to you .. wiyth a combined broadband and telecoms offer it may become extremely compelling - only you can decide.
