The Top 10 Reasons You Should Switch to Cable or Satellite TV

With all due respect to David Letterman, anyone can make a top 10 list.  In view of recent news headlines that state DTV is about to replace terrestrial broadcasting, here are ten good reasons why you should beat the FCC to the punch and order cable or satellite TV instead of DTV.

10. You’re tired of getting up and adjusting your antenna every few minutes and having your picture go fuzzy at critical moments of your favorite TV shows and sports events.

9. No more angry fights with your spouse—now the Digital Video Recorder can save your marriage.                                                                                                                                    
How many arguments have you had because the VCR failed to tape the right show?  With digital video recording, you get exactly what you want to see and don’t have to worry about wrong channels, SP/EP, tape malfunction or any other 20th century problem.

8. Because you’re sick of terrestrial radio too.
When you order satellite or cable TV you also get free satellite radio channels to listen to.  Sure beats listening to non-stop radio commercials for five hours a day!

7. Because broadcast television has hit a new low.
Seriously, Burger King commercials?  Cheaters and Jerry Springer?  No wait, there’s still reruns of Everybody Loves Raymond.  Yeah, isn’t it about time you took a step up in the world?

6. Don’t you know?  Super fans don’t mess with television.
NFL Sunday Ticket with Super Fan brings you over 200 games a season along with multiple sports channels and high-tech features.  If you call yourself a football fan and still watch free digital TV, you’re a disgrace to the NFL.

5. Because you’re “high” on high definition.
You can’t get in trouble for being high on high-definition.  With HD TV you get superior resolution, greater detail, wider screens and more vibrant colors.  More importantly, you get better content—like movies, series and specials.  It’s like having hundreds of Blu-Ray discs at your disposal any moment of the day.

4. Foreign Television
Que?  Satellite and cable TV brings you more foreign television than you will ever see on DTV.  International news, new series and a whole new world perspective.

3. You’re tired of surfing the Internet for news and finding only commentary from 2005.
Broadcast television is not even worth mentioning, when it comes to covering the latest news in world affairs, national policies and local happenings.  The only other options are cable/satellite TV or the Internet.  The Internet may have a great deal of text content readily available, but it’s harder to find channels of news where an actual newscaster goes into depth over a breaking headline.  Satellite and cable TV give you many channels devoted only to 24-hour news and analysis.

2. Because WALL-E and The Dark Knight just aren’t worth $25 dollars each.
Sure, they were both great movies—but do you really want to pay top dollar for DVDs and Blu-Rays when you could just as easily watch and record new PPV movies for $5.99?  Most new DVDs don’t even have that many special features anymore. 

1. Because you don’t need the government’s money!
Be a real man or woman!  Tell the government they can keep their DTV coupon because you’re ready to ascend to premium TV and sure as heck don’t want to pay for broadcasting that should be free!
