Ever since satellite TV first came out,Cable TV Special Deals & Promotional Offers Articles there has been a good deal of competition between it and cable TV. The cable TV industry as a whole has responded to this competition by producing a service that is far superior to satellite TV in a variety of different ways.

It's now possible to get as many channels as you could possibly need from a modern cable TV provider. In fact, some packages contain almost three hundred channels, and revolutionary new technology is likely to make that number even higher in the near future! It's also possible to get cutting edge new forms of entertainment like HDTV, video on demand, and digital video recording from your cable TV provider as well.

HDTV is another name for High Definition Television, and it's meant to bring the commercial movie theater experience home. This is possible thanks to the fact that HDTV features the same wide angle view of a commercial movie screen thanks to its 16:9 aspect ratio. HDTV also provides a high resolution picture that even conventional digital TV can't match, and a sound format that really makes you think that the action of the movie is happening all around you. Better still, there are a ton of new HDTV channels cropping up all the time. These new high def channels feature everything from the movies that this great new format was designed for to other programming likes sports, news, and informational channels. Just about everything that you can find on normal TV is available through HDTV and more HDTV channels are coming on line all the time in order to provide even more of it!

Video on demand is another service that cable TV excels at providing. That's because video on demand works well with the same technology that's allowing the cable TV industry to add so many more channels. Video on demand gives viewers a selection of programs that are available for them to watch and lets them decide when they want to watch those programs. Along with HDTV, video on demand will likely be the future of TV!

Digital Video Recording is kind of like video on demand, only it provides the ability to watch anything that you receive over your normal channels when you want to watch it. The limitation is that you need to program your digital video recorder ahead of time so that it can record those TV shows on its hard drive. The process of programming a DVR is easy because the device is built into the same digital receiver that's provided by your cable company.

In addition to high technology and lots of channels, cable TV companies now also provide digital phone service and high speed Internet access. Both of these services can be invoiced on the same bill as your cable TV service, and most companies will offer you a discount in exchange for taking advantage of two or more of the three services. This process is called bundling and it's a good way to enjoy a lot more convenience while saving money on services that you use anyway.

Digital phone service through your cable TV company will be a good deal because it has extensive features included at a bargain rate. High speed Internet from a cable company is an excellent deal because it's the fastest form of Internet service that's available to most homes, but it is far from the most expensive.

Cable TV has made a lot of progress in recent years, and is definitely worth looking into for high quality telecommunications solutions. Take advantage of the limited time offers now. Start today.
