Customization Options
Many satellite providers offer a wide variety of options when choosing the selection of channels they want to provide their guests with. This eliminates the problem of buying huge bulk channel packages that include a number of channels your guests will never even watch. Another benefit of this system is if you hotel serves a specific clientele, you can offer them channels you know they want to watch.
Easier to Service
Cable lines are interconnected, unlike satellite which is an independent system. This makes diagnosing any issues with your service simple because the problem is contained within your system. In comparison, cable could take days to figure out a problem because the issue could be "in the line" which is completely out of your control until the cable company locates the problem.
More Programming
Satellite systems aren't subject to local restrictions on programming and can therefore offer a wider range of programming to your guests. This is particularly important for sports programming. Cable companies typically air regional teams due to restrictions on programming, but satellite companies can air every game that's on. International programming is also a huge advantage that satellite TV enjoys. Programming that isn't strictly local is great for hotels because it's likely that your guests aren't local.
Affordability
The price of satellite is very competitive with cable when considering the amount of customization options and variety of programming available. Paying only for the channels that your guests are actually watching makes satellite services very affordable for hotels, and while there may be some higher initial costs for installation, the cost over time makes up for this.
Availability
Complex cable infrastructure requires a great deal of maintenance which makes it impossible to provide some areas with cable. Satellite TV providers eliminate this problem by transmitting cable directly to your satellite dish. If your hotel happens to be off the beaten path, satellite TV is always an option for giving your customers entertainment.
The variety and flexibility of options available through satellite are great for hotels that are trying to offer their guests the best in TV programming. When combined with superior affordability, wider availability, and great service, satellite TV becomes a no-brainer for hotel owners.
