An ever-increasing portion of the population no longer watch traditional TV, but rely on SVOD (subscription video-on-demand) and services such as Netflix, Hulu Plus and Amazon Prime.
There are three main types of VOD models you can adapt: SVOD, TVOD, and AVOD.
Whether to purchase cable or satellite TV is a common question as there are benefits and costs. Most cable companies include local franchise fees along with local broadcasting fees on your monthly bill which can make it more expensive. Digital cable prices vary starting around $50 per month, but depending on the package you choose, it can go as high as $80 per month.
Satellite packages usually offer better deals based on how much money is spent per channel. Satellite usually starts also at $50 a month, but can go much higher as well. Pricing also may be higher per month unless committing to twelve months of programming up front.
Most Satellite TV systems can support over 250 channels of programming. The downside is that fewer local channels are offered.
Digital cable can support over 300 channels and has more local channels available in most major cities. Most cable companies now offer Video on Demand (a library of movies and TV shows that you can order at your leisure). HDTV services are becoming more popular amongst cable companies now and not just thru satellite TV as in the past.
Traditional TV services are bundled with internet, landline, etc.
