No cable subscription required. Courtesy of Sling TV People who grew up with the Internet do not like paying for cable TV. It’s expensive, and it’s full of terrible channels no one cares to watch. We’re already paying stiff monthly bills for broadband Internet and mobile phone service. We have a hard time justifying spending hundreds more per year for TV—especially when we can already watch most of our favorite shows on Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube, et al. That’s why I, and many of my friends, have never signed up for cable

Satellite television is a system of delivering television programming using signals relayed from communication satellites which orbit around the earth at 35, 786 KM above the equator in geostationary orbits. The signals are received via an outdoor parabolic reflector antenna usually referred to as a satellite dish and a low-noise block down-converter (LNB). A satellite receiver then decodes the desired television program for viewing on a television set. Receivers can be external set-top boxes, or a built-in television tuner

The bottom product is a set-top box, an electronic device which cable subscribers use to connect the cable signal to their television set. Cable television is a system of delivering television programming to paying subscribers via radio frequency (RF) signals transmitted through coaxial cables or, in the 2010s, light pulses through fiber-optic cables.

DSL provides you with high speed Internet through any existing analog telephone line. As a result, lots of traditional telephone companies provide DSL high speed Internet service.

When it comes to satellite wiring, the wires must be run without other extensions piggy-backing off the original wire. Thus, no splitters should be used throughout the entire length of the single cable, and should not exceed 100’ from the satellite dish or attic distribution point to the wall plate. All cables must be “home-run” (all terminate at one location) from the wall plate all the way to where the satellite dish or distribution center (attic or computer room) will be located. Bring at least five (yes, 5) cables from a central location in…
