Great article. Did you know that DISH Network has twice as many choice as any other TV provider. I work at DISH and right now you can qualify for HD free for life. When signing up at DISH Network you can get three HD receivers for FREE. I will never trade my DISH Network equipment for anything.

I believe satellite TV systems offer a much better value than the traditional cable companies. Dish Network and Directv are trying to compete in a very real way in terms of price and service. The cable providers are doing very little to improve their service and often raising prices. They often have a monopoly in certain areas for providing cable services. This lack of competition has caused many cable companies to become apathetic to the consumer. This is where the providers of satellite TV systems have been making a strong and successful push into local areas around the country. The growth rate of Dish Network and Directv is evidence of their success and the failures of most local and national cable companies. The cable companies will soon wake up and determine that they most compete on service, channel offerings (including HD), and definitely price.

Satellite TV only! I am tired of cable television. When you have a satellite you may decide.

Had Cable and had Direct . Signed up with Dish a year ago. I enjoy dvr on Dish but a lot of the silection process to accomplish recording and how to handle all the choices that are available of the Dish operation, “what they are and how to accomplish them”, are very complicated and my wife has a difficult time with them. Great is the device, that by the push of a button, you can save the program you are watching and come back and see the rest of the program when you come back to it. Also it is easy to Dvr the program you are watching and save it ’till later. All this and $5 a month for a $30 service call if needed.

I trust cable television because of quality and ease of service. I have comcast at home and I am their customer since 3yrs now without any complaints. sometimes their pay per view rates are high but normally we don’t watch pay per view programs.

Satellite TV is outdated I find. Cable is a lot more versatile.

This is a nice blog. Both have some advantages as well as disadvantage, but when satellite TV is compared to cable. satellite TV has better sound quality and a better clarity as compared to cable. If there is fault in the cable wire then we will not able to get a better quality picture as well we can’t get a quality sound. so it is better to use a satellite TV.

When we compare cable TV and satellite TV mostly it differs from cost, picture quality, program choices and finally customer satisfaction. When we compare fee structure as compare with the channel satellite TV is much better as it cost around $41 per month with 115 channels but in cable it provides 64 channels in $37. In customer satisfaction Cable TV outages average of 3% to 5% per year and in Satellite TV it outages average about 1%. So I think both are not good not bad it’s an average as compare to each other.
