The beauty of satellite TV is that there are a number of different packages to choose from. When it comes to home entertainment, everyone has different wants and desires, which means that a one-size-fits-all solution won't end up being all that effective. Therefore, subscription-based entertainment has to give you choices or it won't be worth signing up for. Before you commit to a package though, you should be aware of the differences you'll probably encounter.
1. The first major difference is going to be the price, though it won't turn out to be as significant as you might think. Most packages will end up costing around $1 to $2 per day, and only the high-end packages with the most premium offerings will cost more than that. In other words, it's going to be hard not to get an affordable entertainment solution. Just keep in mind that you can save if you want to get the most basic package, but for a few bucks more per month a more advanced package would be a much better value.
2. Different satellite TV packages offer a different number of channels for you. It should be obvious that the more you pay the more you get, but you won't have to pay that much more to get a lot more. In other words, the most basic packages are going to give you a lot of channels, but for a fraction more you can double or even triple your offerings. Ultimately, the extra bit of money you're going to have to pay each month will be money well spent.
3. Advanced packages will give you access to premium movie channels for a few months, while a basic package probably won't. This kind of offering is essentially a satellite TV provider expressing their gratitude as well as giving you a free sample of what you could be enjoying if you upgraded your package to a premium offering. Premium package subscribers will be able to watch movie channels such as Starz, Showtime, HBO and Cinemax throughout their entire contract, not just for the first few months. Ultimately, the more you pay the more movie offerings you're going to get access to.
4. Better packages often include free HD upgrades. Even though you'll be paying more with advanced packages, you could end up saving thanks to the fact that you'll get these kinds of freebies thrown in. Instead of having to pay separately for a DVR upgrade, it can be included in your package.
5. Only the best packages will be able to provide you with the kind of Football, Basketball, Baseball, Soccer, Tennis and Golf coverage that hardcore fans demand. Even though basic and advanced packages will have a lot more sports offerings than local over-the-air programming, they won't be able to hold a candle to a premium package. If you absolutely must be able to watch all regular season games, get access to special coverage that gets extremely close to the action, get access to dedicated commentary channels, and be able to watch multiple games on a single screen in a seamless fashion, a premium package is a must.
