Satellite or CATV?

The best I've seen by far is Hi-Def DirecTV into an HDTV (especially plasma). DirecTV offers better value for roughly 225 channels than cable generally does for 240 channels or so.

I would suggest Dish Network. THe best thing you can do is go to a few Satellite dealers/ installers and ask about package prices and to see the pictures. If HDTV is your focus, then DishNetwork will most likely be your choice. If just non-HDTV, then their PVRs are great, they record in the original compression rate and with Dolby Digital. I have no faith in Cable TV providers' video. Like you, I also use cable for my high speed internet. I even use it for telephony w/ three lines. ...But I would never have it for my video choice, their cost to performance ratio is terrible here. AaronM

Can't speak for Dish Network as i have no experience with it, but i can say that Direct TV absolutely smokes cable as provided by AT&T in every aspect. It is hard to go back to cable once you've had satellite. Sean
