I have had experience with cable and two satellite TV services. There are pros and cons to both.
A> Cable provided me with the best and most reliable signal, but our friends at Comcast kept increasing the monthly fee. So, I dropped them in favor of--
B> Satellite TV. DishNetwork and DirecTV are very nice, but their ads don't tell you that the signal craps out during snow, rain--even drizzle and fog.
The alternative is to 'cut the cable.' Sadly, digital broadcast TV makes that difficult without a rotatable rooftop antenna. Back in the good old days of analog TV, you might get a little snow on some channels, but usually got through. Modern digital TV and 'rabbit ears'? You get tearing, blanking and audio distortion.
Oh well, maybe I can scrounge up a used 10-foot dish.
