It appears he's talking about his experience with Dish Network while I am
referring to mine with DirecTV.

They both suck

You need to realize cable is way better today thanks to satellite
competition.

I waited 3 years for TVLAND on TCI cable then switched to dish and
havent looked back.

Dish has nice DVRs that have changed the way we look at tv forever.
what few rain fades we get in only blinding thunderstorms is way less
than cable outages from power failures and car accidents taking down
lines, heck we had some bad channels for MONTHS only in extreme cold
of nite. cable refused tio send out a tech unless it was a major
outage, it would of been overtime. yet the trouble went on for months
and right after we cancelled they finally found and replaced a bad
neighborhood amplifier, that was cold sensitive.

so why do you think satellite sucks? you work for a cable company?

I have had Dish and Direct TV and was happy with both. The big
drawback in using either service is that you have to have a tuner box
in every room

I changed to Charter when broadband became available in our area (I
was one of the first customers) I have 3 sets and am glad I have no
tuners to rent. Tuners suck

One interesting thing I have noticed is that with cable I get my
signal about 2 seconds sooner than my sister. She lives in an area
where Satellite is all she can get.
