Anyone who lives in a rural area does not have the same satellite options as most of us. Areas served by The National Rural Telecommunications Cooperative (NRTC) pay more for equipment and programming, so satellite competition in these areas is somewhat skewed. -- Time is an abstract concept invented by carbon based life forms to monitor their constant decay.-Thunderclese
said by Camelot One:Well now I had forgotten about the NRTC...but with the NRTC, isn't satellite the ONLY option for TV?
I'm not really certain how it works, but my guess is that the farther you get from a rural population center, the less likely you are to have access to cable, but if you live in a town in an NRTC area and you have access to cable TV, you would still have to pony up the higher fees for satellite services. It may also be that if you have cable available to you you aren't part of the NRTC.
Perhaps someone could clarify exactly how this all works. -- Time is an abstract concept invented by carbon based life forms to monitor their constant decay.-Thunderclese
