Which is better to you? I say cable because you get on demand and plus you can watch tv when its raining outside unlike satellite.

I don't really have a preference. The satellite seems to be a bit cheaper then cable was. We're paying about 45.00 a month with satellite, cable was running around 70, and we get more with satellite. And we can watch tv when it's raining, it's only gone out maybe 2 times in the 7 months we've been here, not a big deal really. But, I wish we could get cable here, I hate our rinky dink phone company, and I'd be happy to not have a landline, could get high speed internet through the cable co & just use our cells or vonage. So, I wish we had cable so I'd have leverage when I get pissed I can threaten to switch companies lol.

I say Satellite because you get more for the money and for the amount it is out do to rain (which is not alot) I can live with that and save money. I think during the last year it went out for about 30 minutes.

Well when I had satellite, it went out ever time it rained and in Florida it rained a lot so I barely watched tv.

I would say cable because rain affects satellite which is really annoying...

I prefer Cable. I like all the free stuff on ondemand and I also have DVR with it. We have the internet and phone all on one bill so I like that too.
