Cable or Dish?10-03-2006 1:19:19 pm
Me and my husband have been debating weather to go with Cable or get a satellite dish. What does everyone here have? I have been researching a little bit and I have discovered that where we live satellite is about the same price as cable you just get way more channels. So we are thinking of going with that now the question is what provider to go with. Dish network or Direct tv. Anyone have any suggestions for either?

We have dish. It works great, occasionally if there's a bad storm, the satellite will get a little messed up but other than that it's really great.

We have cable, but in the past my hubby's family had a dish. It wasn't good to have up here in Western Mass because the snow would affect the reception too much. And where we live now a dish really isn't an option because there are too many trees.

I have cable.. My dad has The Dish Network, the only times I hear him complain about it is in bad weather. Our cable on the other hand very rarely goes out.

We have cable here. Just like Cheryl said, we have too many trees in our yard also to be able to have sattelite.
