What are the pro's and con's to having Satellite TV opposed to just regular Cable?

Question

which one is better and why?

Answer 1

pro's of satellite: usually costs less, more programming choices, much better customer service, better picture and sound quality.

con's of satellite: bad weather can interfere with reception, tied to a 1 or 2 yr contract, limited to 4 hookups, requires a phone line to purchase pay-per-view or use "on demand" features.

which is better?  simply a matter of opinion.  I prefer satellite personally.  But bad experiences with comcast may contribute to my opinion.
