Even in this era of ever-more-rapidly-changing technology, isn't it still sort of neat to think that a small satellite dish TV antenna mounted on the rooftop aimed towards the southern sky can connect you to such a wide selection of digital television channels? And the number of high definition channels that satellite TV offers is increasing all the time!

The primary digital satellite TV providers in the United States are DIRECTV and DISH Network. Just as you can lease multiple digital cable boxes for each of your TVs from your local cable television provider, satellite TV receivers, DVRs, and satellite dishes are typically leased from your satellite television provider on your monthly bill. You may have to pay extra for HDMI cables!
