Satellite TV Availability

Not everybody can receive satellite television. If it is not possible to place your dish where it may have unobstructed southern exposure, you are not going to get good, or sometimes any, reception. This problem can’t be avoided as it is due to the way the satellite orbits the Earth. The satellite and satellite dish must have an unobstructed line of communication to transmit data.

For this reason, IPTV can provide a better alternative than satellite television. Remember however, there are limitations to any service. The DSL bandwidth requirements needed to transmit a robust TV signal require that your home be located within 10,000 line feet of an IPTV provider. In general, if the service is offered in your area, you should be close enough to your IPTV provider.
