Cable versus DirecTV/Dish

[JDog]

Well, it's a moot issue for me.  There is no cable where I live.  It's dish, antenna or nothing.  Only ISP's are dial-up.

Bill, I thought you lived in Atlanta.

I'm about 40 miles outside Atlanta ... but no one knows where the heck this place is!!

Not even the cable companies, apparently.

Nope ... too much distance between houses to make it worthwhile

We recently switched to Time Warner Cable after having Dish Network for about three years...overall, we liked Dish Network better. The DVR was a bit easier to use (and not as buggy), and I liked the channel lineup a little better (although about 90% of them are the same). The one upside to cable is that it never cuts out. Here in Wisconsin, it wasn't unusual to lose the satellite signal for a while during heavy rain or snow. It wouldn't stay out that long (maybe an hour at a time), but it was still pretty inconvenient. Even so, we're thinking about switching back.

direct tv and have not had a problem. got it so i could watch deadliest catch and have not regretted it since. the reality shows are of great interest or should i call it entertainment. it come down to entertainment and then i find i just get bored of them and then another show will catch my interest. but of all the reality shows i have seen deadliest catch is still entertaining. for our area direct tv was the best deal and i happen to get it because they offered it where i bought my tv.
