Buying a new Television is a big commitment. Why? Well, they depreciate as fast as cars and laptops. If you buy the latest model, then it will cost you a fair penny and finally, they are what all the furniture in your living room is pointed at. So they also have to look quite futuristic and appealing. Without further ado then, here is a quick rundown of everything you need to know when buying a new TV.

Smart TV

People used to think smart TVs would be the next big thing. But, unfortunately for suppliers they have not been that popular. Smart TVs are, in essence, quite similar to smartphones. They can do more than you would expect a tv to be able to do. For example, some have cameras so you can Skype. Others can be voice controlled. The problem with them? Well, think about it. When exactly would the average person use their television to Skype someone? Added abilities like voice control are impressive but good luck using it if you have a strong accent. The positives are that smart tvs are connected online so you can watch Netflix and Youtube videos with ease. If you are a tech buff or stream videos frequently a smart tv may be the right choice for you. Prices vary but the top models can now be bought at around £700

Different Screens and Sizes

Does size matter? When it comes to television screens it arguably does, yes. So what size should you be looking for? Well, if you are buying a normal 1080p HD TV for your living room you want one about 42 inches. I would not recommend going any bigger than 65 inches. If you go any bigger then you will find most images displayed will not look like they are high definition. The reason for this is that high definition can only stretch so far. Otherwise, you need more advanced equipment that your standard HD tv does not have. For example, SKY channels only transmit at 1080i. You will not get an HD quality picture on a bigger screen. Also, if you are thinking about installing Sky or Cable on your new tv consider using a company like Rf digital.

Television has completely revolutionised our society. Most of the people alive today do not remember a time before they had TV sets in their home. For a bit of fun, we wanted to find out what life would be like if that essential tech had never been created. Would we live a happier existence? Is it likely our lives would be less complicated? Let’s find out.

Slower transfer of information

One of the main benefits of everyone having a TV in their home is that important information can be transferred quickly. If there are any national or international emergencies, authority figures can let the public know about them in seconds.

Without televisions, we would have to get all our information from the newspapers. That means we probably wouldn’t learn about events until the day after.

Less entertainment

Whatever you think about television, there is no getting around the fact that it offers cheap entertainment to the masses. Before we all had TV sets in our home, people would have to buy tickets for their local cinema or visit the theatre. Both of those things cost money, and so most folks simply couldn’t afford to entertain themselves in that manner.

Weaker perspectives

The way in which we look at issues relating to our society is important. Without television, it would be possible for people to form uneducated opinions on vital matters because they couldn’t see the whole picture. TV documentaries help to give the public factual information that helps them to build a strong and accurate perspective.

To answer the question posed in the title of this post, no, life would not be better without television. In fact, it could be a whole lot worse!

As of today, many Americans had preferred satellite TV than their old cable TV. There are actually a lot of reasons why they chose to have a satellite TV. One of which is the number of program channels satellite TV can offer. An example is one of the famous satellite TV providers in the US known as Direct Satellite TV that offers 130 plus channels to its costumers with high definition TV programming. It’s a lot of number compared to a common cable TV.

If you plan to have a satellite TV, you have to consider the cost of its installation. It would be nice if satellite TV providers can give you the equipments such as satellite TV dish and TV receivers for free. And both Dish Network and Direct Satellite TV services include the equipment with installation up to 4 rooms for free. Isn’t it a good deal? The third factor they have considered is the signal interruption. One big problem with cable TV is that when it goes out, it would take you hours waiting until it returns. Good thing about satellite is that interruptions were in brief intervals of a few seconds only. Thus many have decided to have interrupted signals rather than waiting for hours and missed their favorite shows.

In addition, satellite TV broadcast channels in digital format in which you can expect the best quality of picture and sound for your viewing pleasure. So If I made a choice, I would choose a satellite TV because it suits my needs. And the next thing I need to decide on is the satellite TV provider. According to the customer satisfaction survey, Direct Satellite TV and Dish Network were ranked as the highest compared to any cable TV companies. So I guess I had to settle with these two.
