Question

Which is better? cable or satellite?

Answer 1

My wife and I have Dish and like it.  The DVR has spoiled us completely.  We picked Dish over Direct because they were about $5-$10 cheaper per month.  

We had Charter cable previously and did a bundle thing with our internet, tv, and phone.  It was good but when they started building nearby it would go out every day.  Unfortunately everything went out at the same time.  We would sometimes go a solid day without a phone, tv or internet access....

Answer 2

Definitely satellites, at least their box doesn't crash like that famous  cable company. Plus, they have more HD channels.

Answer 3

either one like the first dude said the boxes crashes alot but satellite dont work when is windy, snowing, or raining,but i would go with satellite it is way better.

Answer 4

Depends.

Satellite has a wider variety of channels and lower prices. However, there can be contracts and you may need to buy boxes especially if your getting HD. And don't buy "the signal always goes out " propaganda that cable spews about satellite, I have had Dish for a year and it has only gone out once during a huge storm.

Cable offers much more on-demand tv and movies, and also offers cable-exclusive channels such as MTV Hits. The down side is high costs for service, extended outages, and poor customer service.
