Cable Tv, Dish Network, Or Direct Tv ? Cable Please!
One of the great advantages Cable TV has over any DBS {Digital Broadcast Satellite} providers, Such as Direct TV or Dish Network is its always on no matter what the weather conditions!
I cant think of anything more annoying or frustrating than watching a good Football, Basketball, Hockey, or Baseball game, dont forget NASCAR! And then because of a little rain the TV screen starts to pixelate turning my once exciting game or race into a mosaic of colored checkered squares. I then come to the terrifying realization that my DBS satellite was going out again, and simply stare at the depressing picture that now says “Acquiring Satellite Signal”!.
Which Satellite provider? A choice to make..
Back in those days Cable TV was not available to me, at that time we had three choices, C-band satellite which was one of those big ugly dishes between 10 & 12 feet across and cost about $2500 at that time, but we would have had to cut down way too many trees.
Second choice was Direct TV which looked at 101 west longitude for the main programming, but we had about 4 trees to cut...
