We explain in lay mans terms what cable TV is, and all about the components for CATV and anything that goes along with it. We also provide links to cable providers offering their latest cable deals.

Cable television can be confusing to a lay person and those of us less technically minded people. Yet having fixed optical fibre or coaxial cables can provide you with FM radio programming, high speed Internet, cable telephony, non-television services as well as your cable television. So it is worthwhile to have an understanding of what cabling is all about.

The combination of TV, telephone and Internet access is commonly called triple play whether it is offered by telco’s or cable TV providers.

Cable TV is commonplace in some countries like the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia and East Asia. It is present in parts of other countries like South America and the Middle East. Although in countries like Africa due to sparsely populated areas it is not cost-effective to lay cables.

Access to a cable network requires that cables are laid and maintained right through to your property. Although in some places cable connections are commonplace, other places only offer a limited cable service.

Laying and maintaining cables comes at some cost and it is not feasible for all the companies to lay cables to every property. This tends to create a natural monopoly situation in many circumstances. Competition to this is likely to be in the form of terrestrial or satellite providers.

cable tv packages vary from region to region and provider to provider.  The rates do change and you really need an understanding of what you are paying for which can sometimes be a challenge.
