CABLE TV
Cable television is a system of providing television to consumers via radio frequency signals transmitted to televisions through fixed optical fibers or coaxial cables as opposed to the over-the-air method used in traditional television broadcasting (via radio waves) in which a television antenna is required. FM radio programming, high-speed Internet, telephony, and similar non-television services may also be provided.
The abbreviation CATV is often used to mean "Cable TV". It originally stood for Community Antenna Television, from cable television's origins in 1948: in areas where over-the-air reception was limited by distance from transmitters or mountainous terrain, large "community antennas" were constructed, and cable was run from them to individual homes. The origins of cable broadcasting are even older as radio programming was distributed by cable in some European cities as far back as 1924.
In the end, it really comes down to the preference of the customer. Cable television has a lot to offer a television enthusiast who wants a lot of options and extras that a limited viewer just does not need. Cable can provide customers with high definition programming and their local channels without having to purchase extra equipment for extra television sets around the house. For those customers who want an easy, uncomplicated and affordable television option, cable television is the best bet. Plus, there are a lot of options available and cable television prices have become quite competitive. There will probably be special packages being offered this winter for those first time customers who will be making the switch from analog to digital. The entry price will be attractive and affordable enough to make cable the obvious choice for viewers who don't want to miss out on their local programming.
