Satellite TV in Arkansas

DISH and DIRECTV are excellent choices, and popular alternatives to cable companies like Cox for television service. Satellite TV generally provides Arkansas residents with better packages for less money. Do be aware, however, that unlike most cable service a deposit of up to several hundred dollars may be required for those with low credit scores. 80.30% of Arkansas homes are estimated to have alternatives to satellite television if credit and deposits may be an issue.

Customers who may want fiber or cable TV instead have that option in the majority of Arkansas. State residents will likely have satellite TV options only in no part of the state.
