We have dishnetwork. we are thinking of getting cable for the bedrooms next year sometime but not real sure. If you are using an antena are you going to get the converter boxes or just get cable?

i have cable in my house and i think it is cheaper than dish and it is more stable. i have heard that people complain that when rain and lightning comes dish work horribly. but cables are more trusty and also i can get internet connection through cable .it is working very well for me.

It depends on the size and thickness of clouds during storms actually. I have DirectTV and have lost the signal due to storms. Enough complaining and I get a reduction most tims for time lost not being able to watch TV. DirectTV is good to me. I've had it for 6 years now also and won't change at all. Unless I go broke that is. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I don't have a lot of out time on our dish. we are on dishnetwork and only really severe storms knock us out and it usually isn't out that long.

We have cable now, but have gotten the boxes they sent coupons for. If we can get enough channels, we are going to just go to the converter. We don't watch much tv anyway. So far we can get 14 channels.

I have DirectTV in my living room. In the bedrooms nothing but TV's. I bought 2 convertor boxes for the digital change. The signals work great as I have electric antenaes for both sets. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I have cable which we have that only because we have too many trees and cannot get a satellite signal. We have had all the companies outs and no one can get a signal so we settled for cable. We did buy the converter boxes though just in case we ever need them.

We just got cable in here. We didn't want a dish or digital TV because it's too complicated. We just wanted something we could do with our simple old TV. We haven't had internet or TV in here for a while, we've been using the internet at the local coffee shop. Last week we decided to get cable, and it's great! Also, the building I'm in is too old for a DSL ine. The wiring sucks!

We have comcast cable and I do love it. We have it in three rooms and prefer it then a dish. I do not like the look of a dish on the house.
