Satellite TV offers free installation in every room in the house while cable TV that has standard connection would require additional fee or charge for each room because it would need another cable for each room. Since people are looking forward for a high definition receivers, satellite TV were made having this feature while cable TV as an old version, would still require a different receiver to retrieve the HDR or high definition receiver. This would entail to additional charge.

Channel: There are few channels that Satellite TV is good at like international channels that cable TV does not have. This is the biggest impact that most users would interest more on satellite TV because it captures signal from other countries. This is due to the newest technology that satellite TV was improved on than cable TV.
