Cable VS Dish

[Shawnny B]

Thanks thats the info I was looking for. ALso if you have a converter box from any company catv or Dish you will have the box, the cable companys have a closed cable system so they could choose to convert things back to anolog so you dont need a box, one less thing to have hooked up and or rent, also it doenst need to be HD it needs to be Digital.

The main problem with dropouts with satellite TV is poor installation and alignment of the Dish.

Exactly. The cable in my area is terrible, I have been nothing but satisfied with Dishnetwork.

I am pretty sad about one thing tonight after switching to the DishNet, my county doesn't have a contract with locals, and I am a huge KU Jayhawks fan, and don't get to see the KU/MU game tonight

wishing- I got mine through Frontier- so they know my exact address. My installer was telling me about how to get around it, but said through Frontier, I can't

I say dish all the way.

In 2 years I have only noticed the signal going out probably 5 times, and it is only for a max of 15 minutes.

My wifes parents have cable and they constantly have problems with the cable being hit during road construction, etc and they are out for anywhere from 5 hours to 5 days.

The fact is, Dish signal is fairly reliable, and only the cable companies make up lies, like evey time it sprinkles you lose signal. It has to be a heavy lightning, get in the basement, storm in order to lose signal.

Plus I love teasing all teh packer fans that I will be able to see the game tonight and they won't. P.S. I'll probably turn it off in the 3rd Quarter when Dallas is up by 3 scores.

Shawney B, sorry if dish cuts into your livelyhood, but I'm sure your qualified to switch (work) to a dish company if you chose to.

Not a worry TNFL, with the new channels that Dish has added, I see a raise in Dish bills a coming, besides that we have the Internet and Phone to keep me busy. (rumor from a good source says that the dl will be @ 10M and Upload @ 1M by Mid first quarter)
