Satellite or cable?

[quickdodge®]

Which one? I know the problems with the Dish and rain and storms and such. But what else? What are your preferences? As far as cost goes:

Comcast: Basic cable - $45/month for 70 channels
Dish: Basic package - $36/month for 60 channels(I don't even watch the 10 less channels, and I would watch a few of the channels the Dish has that Comcast doesn't)

Later, QD.

Comcast on demand is the shit plus if you get cable internet it goes on one discounted bill.

cable will be more relaiable when it comes to service.

I have the same thing with comcast.
digital starter package with on demand 55.50/month
includes 100+ channels and a shit ton of streaming music (including old school hip hop)
and 4 meg internet 45.00/ month
My comcast on demand I have the choice of new releases or free movies as well as various freebies

BTW I vote Comcast

[Chuckster]

Comcast is the shit. The dish sucks monkey balls, cuz days like today you will be on here instead of watching a new episode of family guy

When you do digital, I know it's a little different per company, like i'd be with Charter. But the digital boxes, do you lease them? and you need one box per tv right? how much does it cost?

[quickdodge®]

^^^ With Comcast, you do not pay extra a month for the boxes. Also, you will need a box for each TV. I think if you get more than one box, you will pay for the extra box(es). Later, QD.

[Julio]

had satellite at my old place, will never have it again! it sucked ass.
Now I have Charter the whole package for 80 a month. MUCH BETTER!

[Leisa]

i hate dishnetwork......... they fucking suck... and forget about when it has thunderstorm that shit gets all scrambled and you lose the signal for ever

[IndianStig]

Dish, unless you do a internet, ohone, and cable deal, then you get fastass internet, local phone, and cable for aroun $100 a month. However we had it and got rid of it cause the cable would shut off if the internet was on and vice versa.(only sometimes though, like 2-3 times a month)

[Brett]

I have the dish, and they both have the same channels, and either way we pay $80 a month for hundreds of channels of nothing to watch...lol

[4dmin]

the dish has sirus for FREE :goodjob:

[Brett]

^^ True That!!!

[quickdodge®]

the dish has sirus for FREE :goodjob:

Not on the package in question. Later, QD.

[Brett]

If you are going with DISH NETWORK its part of the music stations they have, they have thier own and then they air all the sirrus channels also for free

[quickdodge®]

On the package I am looking at($37), Sirius does not come with it. Trust me, I like Sirius and already have it in my car. I looked, lolol. Later, QD.

[Brett]

$37? What do you get, like 10 channels? HA HA HA HA HA HA

[quickdodge®]

60. But they include all the channels I actually watch. Later, QD.

[Brett]

60? THATS IT!!! This is mutha fuckin 2005 neegray!! You need the 200+ like me, regardless if they all suck!! Its just what ya have to have!! :lmfao:

first box is free each extra box is 5 bucks a month

[NzProjeKt]

I'd go with Satellite.. I have dish netwerk right now and they are garbage..
however DirectTV is the shit..

right now they are offering up to 4 receivers, A 40GB DVR, and A DVD player all for free... PLUS you get all the Showtimes, Cinemaxs, HBOs, and The Movie Channels free for 3 months.. w/ a 1 year contract

Im about to sign up for this deal as soon as I move into the new home...

[Brett]

^^ We may look into that also

[Julio]

I have tons of Music Only channels w/ my shit... I think is wayyy batter then Satellite.

[Streetking322]

I have Comcast and it kicks ass. My parents got this package back in 01 which included TV, Internet, and phone service for only 99 bucks a month. we still have it, seems cheap as shit to me... I used to have the dish but dish + rain/ wind/ almost any thing else = no TV.

[Repost Squintz]

id rather go with cable, dish from my experience sucks. 1.Strong winds no reception, 2. Rain no reception, 3. Clouds no reception. I just think it sucked. So cable all the way

[Dragonfly5338]

I'm moving in June and the complex only gets dish network. Which sucks, I like comcast digital cable. But apts are strange like that, one service provider gets a monopoly on the complex. So you have no choice, except listening to your radio if you don't want to use them, lol.

[ISAtlanta300]

Comcast is tha shizznit.... Hi speed Internet and cable package is the way to go.
