Mar 17, 2019I think the pending death of satellite TV is greatly exaggerated.
True, cable and satellite providers have lost cord-cutters customers that have migrated to the internet, but there are millions of people in this country that still have no access to high speed internet service and will continue to subscribe to satellite TV.
As someone that has traveled extensively throughout the country, I can attest access to the internet isn't widely available in many areas, especially in areas where we tend to go camping.
In my opinion, the reason cable and satellites companies keep losing customers has been due to cost, and nothing else. It seems the cable and satellites companies are beginning to listen and some of them are now starting to offer "skinny packages" with lower prices. I, for one, will continue to use Dish TV when going camping since I know for a fact many times I won't be able to get internet or OTA TV where I'm camping.
