For the last 50 years, satellite TV has been a leader of technology. Satellite TV is always new and exciting, beginning from the time news and sports started being broadcast into living rooms across the nation. That excitement continued into the early 1990’s when little dish satellites that could hang off of the side of a house and would receive TV made satellite TV personal. And with all of the new innovations being incorporated every day, such as HDTV and slingboxes, there’s always something new in satellite TV news.

To bring more channels and features to satellite TV customers, new satellites, or birds, are being introduced. Not only are older birds being replaced with new ones, but the new ones have capabilities for broadcasting and interactive abilities that were only dreams a few years ago. With the advent of standardized HDTV broadcasts, satellite TV programming has begun to switch over. The new birds bring all the awesome quality of HDTV into the home.

By already having the latest technology available, it makes it easier to upgrade to even newer technology. One thing that made a lot of noise with satellite TV news is the melding TV and home networking. By eliminating all the wires associated with home networks, many have embraced Wi-Fi for that purpose. Any Wi-Fi enabled device, like a laptop, PDA or smartphone, can receive TV with a wireless connection and a slingbox. Simply hook the slingbox to your home network and Voila! You can watch TV anywhere the Wi-Fi will reach. Even outside in the back yard or by the pool. Imagine lounging around on a Sunday afternoon in the hammock watching the big game on your iPad.

Speaking of iPads, there are apps for the iPad that will let you control your DVR over the internet.You can record and watch TV shows anytime you want on your DVR, which is basically a digital VCR. You can program your DVR from your IPad, no matter where you are. So that means that no matter where you are like a restaurant, the movies or shopping, if they have Wi-Fi, you can set up your DVR. No longer do you have to be directly in front of it to program it with the remote.

There are even more technological advances to push that envelope. Never be surprised what you’ll find out next about satellite TV news. All the new innovations, like Google TV, even more HD channels and newer advancements, is making the new innovations even more awesome.
