| better tech, not regulation Cable beats satellite crap because the technology is better. I dont want to have to fix my own damn dish after a major storm for a service that actually provides less than cable. satellite: just another sector looking for government protection when it cant compete by making itself better.  |

Storm in Goleta ? I've been using DirecTv in Santa Clarita since 2003 and have ~ 5 minutes of outage due to a _really_ heavy rain.

That Santa Barbara area is a brutal place to live. 
Never had fix my DTV dish in 10+ years. Waited for days at a time for Comca$t to put the cable back after the drunks would take a pole out. Funny, even PG&E would have the pole replaced, lines back up and power available within hours. Comca$t would eventually put their stuff back up days later.

Huh satellite is consistantly better than cable. I have both, and even the picture quality is better. Satellite is also cheaper for MORE channels. Oh, and I have lots of HD channels too! |

Clearly that comment was made by a cable zealot who has NO proof to back up their bloated accusations..I have had DTV for 12 years and have not experienced these problems. |
