That would pretty much warrant the extra price of subscring to satellite against much cheaper cable.
    di ba yung line of sight of satellite can cover an area as wide as the whole ASEAN region?

    Tama si theveed satellites are only ideal if your area isnt serviced by cable or if you're really particular about your TV viewing.

    line of sight means exactly that, straight line from satelite to the satelite dish. pag may building ka na katabi blocking that line, or even high voltage wires blocking that line of sight you will need to relocate your dish.

    after din ng storm pag hindi maganda kabit ng dish mo you will need to reposition the dish. konting misalignment lang yan snow na lang makikita mo, or some message saying "no signal error, align your sat dish..." then you will need a pair of 2-way radios, one for you on the roof and another for the one watching the tv, at mapapaos kayo kakasigaw ng instructions like "ayan lapit na, naku nawala! balik mo balik!..."

    pag naubos din yung prepaid card yari ka, mawala na lang bigla signal with the message "sorry, bayad ka muna...". sa cable pwede ka di bayad ng 1 month ehehehe!

    meron kaming Dream TV sa office (ang layo kasi, walang landline and cable), kapag nag expire na yung load ng prepaid, meron pa rin naman ilang mga free channels na mapapanood.
