Hello,
I assume you're asking about the providers, rather than "electricans".
Sattalite is UBC. I don't have it at home, but I think there are various packages you can get. It'll definitely give you BBC World Service and CNN for news. National Geographic and Discovery for nature. Films galore (in English), comedy and as much sport as you can stomach - live. Package prices vary, I think. Someone else will have to advise you of this.
Cable is far more limited, giving you good old Mr Rupert Murdoch's Fox News - don't waste your time on that drivel. No nature stuff, no live sports, but a half decent film channel - in English. Costs 300 Baht a month.
Both give you the best quality Thai soaps, if that's what you want.
Could be that you have simply got an ariel which'll only give you Thai programmes.

UBC is fantastic if you wish to watch the same thing 3 or four times a day 7 days a week 2 times a day seven days a week there after and so on and on
and i do feel it is expensive for the programing given

but i have to admit there are little choices in the way of alternatives in a reasonable price range
