Many people are looking for ways to watch the programming they get with cable or satellite television online. Well now you can with My New Satellite TV. My New Satellite TV is a service that lets you receive up to 2500 different channels on your computer through the internet. You get all of the channels and broadcasts you get …


It seems as if everything these days costs another “couple hundred bucks”. Computer equipment, televisions, car parts, furniture… you name it, and it probably costs “a couple hundred bucks”. The same can be applied to satellite TV, and it’s an unfortunate (but all too real) reality: sure, you can get the base receiver (the 311), but why not upgrade to the DVR models?

Well, no, that’s not a good idea. At least, not for most people. We liked the idea of having satellite TV for $55 a …

If you’re in the market for satellite television, there are two main players that you are probably looking at: DirecTV, and Dish Network. Both are completely viable, well-thought-out solutions that deliver the product that they promise. Both offer competitive home television solutions, good picture quality, and good customer support. In essence, both are services that are deserving of your consideration (and money).

However, we are blessed with a free market economy, where one product will always trump the …

If you were around back in the 50s and 60s, you know that cable television was a luxury that provided few advantages. It offered basic television, but with poor image quality and unreliable reception. It was a luxury that made television accessible to thousands of homes, and it helped television transform American culture.

Fast forward about …

Many people have found that satellite television is the right kind of service for their home needs. It’s not uncommon for bars and hotels to have satellite TV’s playing the days sports games, as satellite TV subscribers have access to some of the best sports programming available.

If you are looking at getting Satellite TV you’ve probably heard of Dish Network. If you are in …


There is an ever-growing debate among the general public regarding satellite television and cable television. Basically, which one is superior?

Though we’d love to offer a concrete answer, the reality is that the ongoing debate is one that is fueled by two products that are inherently similar, yet fundamentally different. Satellite television is universally available- any household within the service area, be it rural or urban, is capable of receiving the satellite signal. This means that residences that are not in large cities or …


Every now and then a product comes along that just completely redefines your perceptions. DirecTV’s Sat-Go is not it, but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t a pretty cool little gadget.

For those who aren’t in the know, Sat-Go is DirecTV’s mobile satellite system. Yes, you did read that right. It isn’t a TV, DVD player, or MP4 player- the Sat-Go is a mobile satellite TV, complete with built in dish and receiver. Now …


I’m not a big fan of reviewing anything, but I have decided that XM satellite radio is a subject that I know enough about that I can speak with an open mind and an honest tongue. Having been an XM subscriber for three months now, I feel that my perceptions are quite valid. I have a good amount of experience with XM, and I am pretty happy with their service overall, despite a few interesting events that occurred a month ago. Allow …


Whew! I was assigned the task of installing a SIRIUS Satellite Radio receiver in my car and then writing a 1,000 word review. Since writing has never been my thing, I approached the assignment with a bit of skepticism, but considering that I was being paid and was receiving a free satellite radio receiver, I gritted my teeth, whipped out the trusty laptop, and then stared blankly at …
