Satellite or CATV?

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

In rochester NY the time warner seems pretty good for the price, I can get a PVR and HD receivers (hbo and show) for about $60-80 a month. THe local channels are still analog though. The picture is the same as satellite(have both) for the rest of the channels. Coax connections for DD. Need to have cable to get the broadband.

The only thing, Aaron, is that Dish Network (at least for many years) did not give nearly as many options for out of town sports as DirecTV. If that's important to BlueSwan, it's something worth looking into. I wish my damn friends at the Justice Department would just let the stupid merger go through, anyway. (Actually, they're right...it *would* kill competition and create a mammoth manopoly).

dish network high definition receiver isn't as transparent as it should be,I would go direct TV high definition receiver I believe it's more transparent

There is no comparison between Comcast and Directv. Comcast blows. And to add insult to injury, they are more expensive. I was never so happy as the day Directv started carrying all my local channels including WB and UPN. (Except maybe when they came out with a combination Directv/Tivo unit.)
