Satellite or CATV?


Assuming an excellent signal, which has the better video and audio? I use CATV mainly because my internet service also comes in on the same line, and I conveniently use a simple splitter. Any comments on channel selection and monthly cost as well? Thanks.

I switched to DirectTV from Comcast and will never look back. My reasons for switching had less to do with HDTV as it did with other basic service issues. Comcast seems to have a reliability of signal problem in some service areas with respect to those channels in the lower bands (2-10).
DirectTV is a better deal for the money than Comcast as I now pay about $2.00 less per month for more channels and MUCH better picture and audio. I still use Comcast for my broadband Inet connection - but that is subject to change as Comcast has informed me that they are going to punish me for buying Internet service from them and buying TV service from DirecTV, by doubling my monthly fee.

But -most important- with DirectTV NFL Sunday Ticket, I get to see my beloved Buffalo Bills every week!

You're a Bills fan? Cool. I grew up in WNY and have been a fan since the early '60s. I've moved around a lot, and currently reside in the Phila. area. I remain a die hard Bills fan, through all the broken hearted Super Bowls, lame salary cap decimation of the roster, terrible way they treated Doug Flutie (went to college in Boston at the same time Flutie won the Heisman at BC) in favor of Rob Johnson...

Blueswan- Sorry about hijacking your post.

DUDE! Beef on Weck - you make me homesick!

Blueswan-
Good comments on Bledsoe. I'm thinking the Bills may be the real deal this year. They were written off early, but I think people are sitting up and taking notice. Living in Phila. with Eagles fans, football has a weird take here. I mean, all the pundits are calling them the best team in the NFC. Look at their division. God, that game with the Gints (Giants) last night was not worthy of MNF. It was sloppy. More like a street fight. I'll put the Bills on a good day up against anything the NFC can throw at them. AFC baby!
