Satellite tv service or cable or?????

[Lure Lightning]

I am looking to get a rough idea of what folks on FM are looking for in tv service

DO you have satellite tv, cable or over the air antenna's. What do you like and dont like and why? Thanks

I have Comcast cable. I like the on demand feature and the way the channels are set up and the reliability, in the 6 years we have had I think the cable went out maybe 3 times.

We did cancel it over the winter to save some money used the antenna and that sucked down here in the Vally, stupid digital signal. We hooked back up this spring with the 6 month introductory rate.

Dropped their Internet and phone, it sucked in the winter and they never could fix it even after 5 tries now I have qwest with no problems except slower downloads.

I have dishnetwork. Works for me just fine. I think u need a long cable if u have comcast when ice fishing.

No TV since moved last spring. There is no cable where we moved to and I tried over the air but we are too far away from the sources to receive any channels for more than 12 seconds, I agree - stupid digital signal. Sat is only option but decided not to pay for it for the summer since not much is on anyways. I actually have thus found that I have been able to watch all of the shows I ever did at home online for free, including Entourage.

We'll get Sat TV for winter but now that I'll be paying the bill won't be HBO or any other fancy channels for some years. Still have to decide now on Dish network or Direct TV. I was actually going to have the satellite put in on September 8th just in time for Vikes, but we close on our house Sept 14th so I'll be watching the first few games from other establishments unless I can figure out how to stream it.

I use over the air which is an absolutely beautiful picture on a LCD/LED TV. And Netflix video streaming/ Bluray DVD rental for 12 bucks a month. If you have wireless high speed internet access, it is the future. I heard that Netflix just signed an agreement with some movie studios and will be able to stream everything. No need for DVD's.
