Not everyone wants to juggle five streaming subscriptions just to watch the news and catch a game. If you’re living in an apartment in Fargo or Moorhead and want a dependable, full-channel lineup including local news, sports, and premium shows, then satellite TV is still one of the best options available.
Here’s a look at how satellite compares to other TV options for apartment renters and why it may be a better fit than you think.
Satellite TV: A Full Lineup Without Cable
Streaming is convenient, but it doesn’t always deliver the same variety or reliability. Satellite TV gives you access to hundreds of live channels in your apartment, including:
- Local network stations like ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX
- Regional and national sports coverage
- Premium movie channels
- Kids’ programming
- HD and DVR options
702 Communications partners with DISH Network to bring satellite TV to apartment buildings throughout Fargo and Moorhead. We coordinate directly with property managers to make installation simple and stress-free. No waiting around, no confusion about what’s allowed.
Why Satellite TV Works Well in Apartments
- Broad channel selection without internet limitations
- Live programming without buffering
- Setup handled by local professionals
- Flexible packages to match how you watch TV
Streaming Services: Flexible, But Can Add Up
Streaming works well for renters who don’t mind switching between apps and piecing together subscriptions. Platforms like YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and Sling offer solid options, especially when paired with fast internet.
Pros:
- Can be used on TVs, phones, or tablets
- No long-term contracts
- Good for on-demand content
Cons:
- Relies heavily on fast, stable internet
- Local channels often require add-ons
- Costs can add up with multiple services
If you’re already using 702 for apartment internet, streaming can be a good addition. But for renters who want everything in one place, it often falls short.
Basic Antennas: Simple, But Limited
Some renters try indoor antennas for local stations. It’s an option, but results vary based on your floor, window access, and building layout. If you’re only watching local news and weather, it may be enough—but don’t count on full coverage.
Pros:
- One-time equipment cost
- No monthly bill
Cons:
- Limited selection
- Signal strength varies
