Cable TV has good reception quality because TV signals are transmitted through cables and are not blocked by tall buildings and mountains. Not it only receives and retransmits the programs of the big TV networks, but also provides its own recorded programs with different thematic contents, providing subscribers with more program choices. Of course, the viewing of all these topics is only available by paying the cable provider in advance, or by recharging with the other party's set-top box recharge card.
In the 90's, the family that could install a TV was generally better off, and a TV would cost thousands of dollars (thousands of dollars a decade ago is not something that can be compared to thousands of dollars now)....... Even whether there is a cable TV or not, and whether there is a TV set or not, has become a plus for a blind date... ...
It can be said that in the past decade or so, it was the world of cable TV ......
However, many people don't have cable TV in their homes anymore ......Why is that?
Personal observation, it should be caused by the following three aspects.
The first factor, the development of the Internet and the development of video website media, access to video program information channels are broader, more, faster and more convenient. Originally, there may be only thirty programs on cable TV, now become hundreds, while the network video, is thousands of tens of thousands, and even as long as you search, what kind of program you can search, this relative to the original cable TV programs, has been a huge advantage.
The second factor, the popularity of portable mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, has made it easier to watch TV programs.
The old scene of a family grabbing the TV remote control will never happen again, with cell phones in hand, and most people still have tablets, laptops, and other devices to watch TV shows, so who will still be struggling to stay in front of the TV, waiting for it to broadcast a program?......
Of course. The losers are also just cable providers, but they've also followed the times and made a push into network TV, which still has some market position ......
The third factor, the age of Netflix and personal media.
Most of the TV programs can now be searched for ways to watch on the Internet, but there are some TV shows and programs that can only be watched on the Internet, such as Netflix, personal live broadcasts, etc. And as these media become more and more developed and perfected, they will take up more ratings and viewers, and, correspondingly, the number of people who watch cable TV, will become fewer and fewer.
What do you think? Are there other factors?
