I don't subscribe to T.V....since I never watch it..I have a satellite here (Dish)..but it's inactive...
I watch DVD's and rentals..catch the news on the radio all day..then browse the net at night...

cable is nice but the service in my area suck really bad, not to say that the TV-Screen is fuzzy all the time.

i change over to Direct-TV (Dish-network) it is great and i got what is call DVR-box it record all movies any time and it will search for them too. it all in the package deal

i had Dish-network employee instill it into the home, contractors suck they some times hook it up badly.

it do have it trouble like cable but less of it happenings lost of signal last 5min at a given cloudy/stormy weather time and gable is line go down it hours on end besides other reason like a truck taken a telephone pole out.

dish TV all types:
stormy weather can block it off and on but it come back allot and the TV-Image is really good top notch. but it always be connected really fast and stay with you.

gable it go down hours on end. sad story sorry a telephone pole was taken out it be up in 1-2hours or after a heavy storm all the service are down it be a 3-5 day it be back up.

TV-disk services they always there all the time. never gone longer then a 10min. it has no gable lay out all cross the country it get data download from outer-space to your home it do use a phone once a day to a toll-free number to get updates and data from the main office accounting. you can select to record a movie or a show from the TV-guild in it it record what ever you like.

At the moment I have Sky satelite but I'm switching over to digital cable at the end of the month as they offered me a much better deal.

I have neither now, I did have cable for 3 months tho when we decided to rest on dishnetwork because the snow storms would put it out of signal and cover it and then i would be sent out with a ladder and have to uncover it. But I would say Don't have Either

Don e a good job with both throughout the years. I wish for new writers, producers and blessed actors and actresses to bring me something I will love and dedicate time out of my life to watch. I've currently subscribed to DirecTV but I was around when Cable was brand new. I was an MTV kid when MTV was cool. I watched the first day on the waves. I've loved good guys and bad guys. I've loved the women and had crushes on many. Many things I have pondered. Some great entertainment in my 31 years. Lets have a cheers for 31 more! Cheers to everyone in the biz! -Troj
