Satellite or Cable?

Satellite TV signals are digital transmissions that deliver a quality almost comparable to laserdisc with CD quality audio. Cable TV can suffer from degradation under a variety of circumstances. Also, satellite systems typically offer a wider range of programming and since recent laws have changed, it is now possible to get your local networks over satellite as well.

Satellite TV doesn't have it's drawbacks, though. An occasional thunderstorm or blizzard, may disrupt the signal. Also, make sure you have a clear line of sight towards the satellite before you invest in a system. But all other things being equal, a DSS system is the way to go.
