Cable vs. Satellite
Popularity:
There's no question that cable is the most popular service in the nation. Customers feel that cable service is convenient and cheaper if they have multiple televisions in their home. Many cable customers like the one box solutions that providers are introducing and the variety of programming. Satellite customers are growing; about 1 in 4 American consumers have satellite TV in their homes. Only time will tell which service will reign in this popularity content.
Equipment:
Cable box or the satellite dish? Let's face it, both are better than those hideous rabbit ears your TV used to sport (let's hope you're still not living with those things!). Cable equipment is relatively less expensive than satellite TV equipment and easier to maintain and deal with. Many apartment dwellers like the convenience of the cable box but people in particular regions have to use the dish to get service at all. Typically, it's a matter of location.
Reliability:
While satellite picture can be subject to the weather conditions, many satellite TV customers rave about the lack of "snow" in their picture. Satellite outages are rarer than cable outages and typically satellite TV viewers encounter far less technical issues with their service. Luckily, many major cable companies have excellent customer service and satisfaction policies/guarantees in place to take care of those quirky cable boxes.
