Satellite companies are not raising rates as frequently. I believe in 10 to 12 years Directv has raised rates 3 times total and Dishnetworks the same. In short cable 1 to 2 times a year increases. Satellite every 3 to 4 years an increase. Wonder when people will actually read a bit more into the subjects before they post. Like I dunno perhaps doing a bit of researching about the subject. -- "It's always funny until someone gets hurt......and then it's absolutely friggin' hysterical!"

Tweak Premium join:2002-06-08 Oklahoma City, OK ·Cox HSI 3 edits	Don't flame me for not doing research on the subject. I am just making comparisons. Cable tv provides more channels if you look at direct tvs website and got the TOTAL CHOICE PREMIER with locals pack you are looking at getting 205 channels for 87$ compared to my local tv provider which provides 250 channels for 83$ Direct tv has 30 premium channels dish has 31. Cox has 45 total premium stations . Which to you sounds like a better value 250 channels for 83$ or 205 for 87 . My cable provider provides 45 music choice channels direct tv only does 30. I forgot to mention entertainment on demand. Which adds 4 more premium channels to the list of 45. I can fast forward rewind put movies on pause watch them when I want. I can watch premium stations programming on my own time . I can also get my services bundled together and save even more money. With cable you get more for your money and local service. If I have a problem with a bill or a remote I can walk into a front counter which is just down the street from me. You can not do that with dtv. I can watch local high school football and basketball games on the cox channel. Best of all I do not have a big ugly dish in my yard.

Small dish side of my house you can't even see unless you are in my yard and looking behind my chimney under the eve and overhang. (No rain between dish and lnb and I never get the problems cable co's claim) Dishnetwork gives me music channels in mono (old stuff) Stereo and even sirius radio for nadda added to my subscription. Also channels Wise 180 channels $48 plus sirius radio those are close to 45 channels. No hbo or anything. $83 and I get 230 channels as well as the sirius channels. And I get hdtv content also. Which is pretty neat considering. Plus no crappy looking VOD or digital cable with pixelation all over the place. (got dvd's for VOD not to far of a walk to blockbuster from here). It's all area dependent. The part you got "flamed" about was the fact you didn't read the article fully and failed to see the rate increases seen yearly by many with cable. -- "It's always funny until someone gets hurt......and then it's absolutely friggin' hysterical!"
