Oh, can't belive I missed one. lol
The shoping channel comment, out of the 60 channels the local cable did have 4-5
or so of those were shopping. Not to mention the tv guide channel etc. Satellite
had a ton of choices, cable here and in Louisiana doesn't begin to offer. And
what cable does have, they have their own share of shopping channels. So
that isn't just a satellite thing. lol
The difference was where I am at any
rate, with satellite you got a ton more *real* channels with them.

not true,
yeah you may not get the 5,000 channels satellite offers, ut seriously, how
many Shopping channels do you need? Very true, I could do w/o the shopping
channels. Cable, IMHO, is considerably better than
satellite
1: Lightning in the air doesn't screw with reception as
it does satellite I
haven't ever had lightning screw up my reception.....Only a really, really
heavy rain one time did it go
out.
2: No
contracts Thankfully I didn't have a
contract.
3: no
installation fees Actually when I went from regular cable to basic cable, I was
charged for them to come out here b/c they didn't allow you to just bring
the box home and hook it up. I didn't have an installation fee with my satellite
b/c we installed it
ourselves.
4: Free
service calls with cable, Satellite charges for just flipping a
switch I was
constantly charged service calls with my cable unless it was something
outside on the pole causing the
problem.
5: and
from *MY* experience digital cable gives much clearer
picture. With some cable companies that might be the case,
but Comcast down here had a horrible picture. Our ABC was in black
and white and it wasn't our tv, b/c it did it at e'ones house I went to and
there was always little sparkles in the picture and sometimes little
lines. Now then again, I have seen cable companies that I would take
over satellite, just not around here. The cable company sux. If I had
Charter or even Adelphia, I'd probably take them over the
satellite.
