The two dominant satellite TV providers in the U.S. are:
- DIRECTV — Offers nationwide coverage and a large channel lineup.
- DISH Network — Also covers nearly 100% of the country; tends to compete on pricing, DVR features, and contract terms.
Because of shifts in how people consume TV (streaming, over-the-top services, etc.), the number of truly “major” providers is small.
