If you decide to become the owner of satellite television, then you are faced with a difficult task: to determine which equipment and service provider to choose. Comparison of prices for services shows that they do not differ so much between different operators. You can read customer reviews, but are they always true? So what to look for when choosing satellite TV?
Instructions
Step 1
Collect all the necessary and, if possible, reliable information about the providers of these services in your place of residence. Sources can be very different: television, radio, newspaper publications, opinions of friends and acquaintances who use satellite TV services and have already appreciated the advantages and disadvantages of their operator. Look out for the seasonal promotions run by companies offering access to satellite TV services.
Step 2
Pay particular attention to the work of technical support and service. An important factor that can influence your choice should be prices. Ask about the prices for various software packages, try to find out if there are hidden fees in the payment for television services, the existence of which is usually found out only a year after the conclusion of the service contract.
Step 3
In the domestic satellite television market, three large companies are working for the benefit of viewers: Raduga TV, NTV + and Tricolor. According to surveys, a significantly larger number of customers choose Tricolor, but this should not affect your choice. Try to rely on more specific evaluation criteria, such as affordability of prices, the possibility of free access to the basic package of services.
Step 4
Pay special attention to the set of channels included in this or that software package. It will be a shame if after a while you find that you have gained access to channels that you are not going to watch. Be careful when choosing if you want to avoid unnecessary disappointment.
Step 5
The next stage of selection is equipment for satellite TV. When you first contact a company you like, ask what equipment you need to view, what are the prices for receivers, whether there is a wide selection of their brands, what is the range of prices and where is the warranty service for the equipment.
Step 6
By the way, the issue of guarantees should also not be left out of your attention. Find out what are the guarantees provided by the operator, what exactly they are provided for. It is better to find out about this in advance, so as not to experience unexpected amazement later if separate and not the most pleasant prices are named for the provision of services under the guarantee.
