cable vs satelite

[loulizlee]

We now have satellite because of the area in which we live.  It is rural and there is no cable available here.  We liked cable when we had it.  Satellite is okay but I think it is more expensive and it goes out when we have a cloud overhang - rain, snow, fog, etc.

On a bad weather day satellite will not work. But satellite do have more channels.

I have cable just because I have a package for the cable, internet and my phone line.  I hardly see the difference between them.

I prefer cable

Satellite is better than cable, the variety of channels for the the price is more affordable and the quality is the same or better than the cable one. At least that has been my experience so far I had cable before and I will not go back to it.

I haven't had cable in a few years but Satellite has been great. I never lose the picture (even during storms). I get all the channels I need and it is cheaper than cable.

Cable is better for one simple reason.  Thunderstorms.  The old antenna was like a lightning rod when it came to thunderstoms and we had to shut the tv whenever there was one.  When we switched to cable we could watch right through a thunderstorm.  Blackouts were anothing thing but one could watch tv if there weren't any.  You get a satelite it's the same like an antenna.  You have to shut the tv during a storm.  My brother's friend had satelite and was sorry because they are just as lethal as having an antenna.

Yes, whenever there was a storm I could count on an outage from satellite.

Satellite I suppose.
But then again I'm not paying the bill...I'm sure it'd be a different story if I were

[JaiStarr]

Just thinking out loud but I'd be awesome if we could pick and choose the [few] channels we normally watch per package...I'm sure that would save a lot of people a lot of money
