Re: Cable vs. Satellite

SteveM is absolutely correct. I have both satellite and cable coming to the house. The cable is for the kids while the satelite is connected only to the HT viewing room. Only interruptions with satellite have come with heavy rain clouds or snow (three or four times in five years of viewing) cable is down six or seven times a year minimum. I’ve had both Dish and DirectTV. Direct seems to be a little more polished and their menus quicker and easier to use but Dish has more HDTV content for the moment. Satellite setup costs are obviously higher, especially if you intend to connect more than one TV. Still I think the picture and sound are superior on the satellite.
