Personally I prefer cable as I have my services bundled (TV-Internet-Phone) for a really good price

I prefer cable to satellite - mostly due to reception issues I have in my area with the satellite service.  I'm near a TV station tower which interferes with a lot of signals (even my cell reception isn't the greatest).  Plus with all the weather systems, satellite feeds are iffy.  Some gyms I go to have satellite and during bad weather their signals are stalled ("no signal") or the picture is really broken up.

I've heard cable internet is definitely the way to go vs satellite internet (and this came from a satellite rep), but if you have good reception I would guess it's personal preference/price as to which one would choose.

WE have direct tv and so far so good.  The other satellite company we had, it seems like every time a black cloud went over, we were out of tv.  What did people do when there was no tv?

Like a FC member mention, cable is better because bad weather interfares with satellite.

I suppose cable is better but we enjoy our satellite and don't really ever have issues getting a signal during a storm. Maybe they are lethal, I really don't know...But cable in our area is a huge rip off, and they said the wires in our house are too old to have it. However, Cable internet over anything. It's faster, more reliable, and less of a hassle.

It is all relative as long as you can get the same services like channels, digital etc.  I have never really seen much of a difference in general as long as we can find a company we are happy with.

We are on satelite as cable is so much more here, but sometimes i wonder if it is worth it. My hubby does enjoy his hunting shows though and Football. i spend a lot of time on the computer and of course it is satelite. The joys of living in a small town miles from the big cities, but wouldn't live in the big cities anymore. I am a country girl.

I like cable much better. It does not go out as much doing a storm. I have had both at one time or another.

I am a cable user, and I know that there is a better satelite out there for me.
