We've had cable for years, probably due to the fact the cable company succeeded in brainwashing our family into believing cable was so much superior to satellite. It wasn't until we moved into an area that cable wasn't offered did we start looking into satellite options. Well to make a long story short, I can't believe how much money we've wasted on cable over the years. Let me try to dispel any cable/satellite tv rumors based upon REAL LIFE experiences...
1. Immediatly, once we plugged it in, the first thing we noticed was that the reception was FAR superior to cable television... and this was accross the board, local and premium channels
2. On average, we'd loose the cable signal at least once a month and need to have the cable guy come out about once every couple of months. Well, here I sit looking at about 3 feet of snow outside and thinking about how many windstorms and blizzards we've been through so far this past year and our satellite has NEVER gone out.
3. Finally,,, thank GOD for PVR... did someone say Janet Jackson anyone??
So, what would you do.... the reception is better, its by far more reliable, you get to keep the equipment, and it costs less.... hummm what is there to think about??!!!! To borrow from a popular mag, satellite->wired, cable->expired.....
