Best Satellite TV Deals - How To Find Them


By Charles Amith


When I first moved into my last home, I didn't even plan on getting a satellite TV system. I'm sure like most new homeowners, you've gotten tons of junk mail the first few months after you moved in. Almost every few days, I received an ad for the best satellite TV deals. However, I only did my research from the pile of mail I received. After I got my system, I found out there were better deals out there...online! Here's a few ways to save more money on your next digital satellite system.

• Don't get more than what you need
• Learn more about other satellite TV offers
• Compare online deals to your offline deals

DON'T OVER CONSUME

Don't get more than enough! I was talking to a satellite TV system owner recently, and he told me that he was spending over $80 a month on his bill. I then asked him what channels he watched and how often. He told me he purchased the system for his wife and that she was only interested in watching 3 channels. This might not seem usual to some people, but I've talked to at least a dozen people last year doing the same thing.

FIND OUT MORE ABOUT OTHER SATELLITE TV SPECIALS

Usually, you could find several satellite TV offers. There could be some free channels for a limited time. There could be a severe price reduction for a limited time, or for the life of the contract. There may also be special channel combinations that are cheaper than the main promotion. The bottom line is that you should compare the various satellite TV offers before you make a purchase.

COMPARE ONLINE DEALS VS OFFLINE DEALS

My biggest mistake was just relying on the local direct marketed ads. It was my first satellite system I have ever purchased. Out of convenience, and a little ignorance, I picked the best ad out of 2 that I received. A rule that I uncovered a few years back is to never make any money-draining purchases until you compare at least 3 offers. To add to that, make sure you check out the online deals as well. After doing this, you will be able to determine the best satellite TV deals!

In my personal experience, I have found out that the local satellite tv experts couldn't handle all of my needs. Since they were only limited to supporting the local community, the knowledge base was smaller. The online providers supported households throughout the whole nation and could answer most of my questions without any hassle.

In conclusion, the internet has unleashed a wider variety of cost-saving options for satellite TV consumers. Even though a $19.99 a month bill might seem small, over time it could be a lot of money. That's just the starting package. Imagine if you were paying $50 a month on satellite TV! Make sure that you consider these cost-saving ideas before you purchase your next satellite TV package.
