I have Digital Cable from Adelphia and They Suck. I Know How they were recently Split between Comcast and TimeWarner. So Before We Go To One Of those Companies I Would Like To Know In Your Opinion Which one is better?

I've always used Satellite and never had a problem with it. IMO it's the better of the two. It has more variety and is usually cheaper.

They both have their plus and minuses it's up to you I guess, some research would help you in your decision.

I adore my satellite dish. My cousin tried to tell me that when they had a dish, it would go out all the time in bad weather for long periods of time. I think she's smoking something. It will always lose the signal when heavy rain/storms roll through, but it usually comes back in minutes. When we had cable, it took hours. My aunt has digital cable and I think our picture is better than hers.

Satellite without a doubt. Digital cable is a joke - and is definitely not the quality of high-definition satellite.

You'll have digital satellite - its the delivery system - coded in "1"s & "0"s - but is transferred to analogue in older t.v.s.

Sometimes, digital cable can be better - in the case of a storm or something it might not be as interfered with as it would be on satellite.
