Satellite TV in Wisconsin

DISH and DIRECTV are excellent choices, and popular alternatives to cable companies like Spectrum for television service. Satellite TV generally provides Wisconsin 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. 87.06% of Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin. State residents will likely have satellite TV options only in no part of the state.
