The major issue back then was the fact that the signals that were being emitted from the land based repeater towers were weak, so even at short distances they werent very clear. The radius for service was only about one hundred miles.

When satellite TV was first introduced it changed brought a new revolution in the electronics media simply for the fact that it was now possible to get TV services anywhere in the world. At first you were forced to use a massive dish that was pretty pricey as well. Now the satellite TV industry is highly competitive which allows consumers to get hooked up for a great price. Whether you are upgrading from cable to satellite or satellite to high definition satellite, you are sure to be amazing at the amazing digital quality.
