    Decision Time.. What Should I get? Digital Cable or Satellite TV?

    Time for me to make a choice for the new home.

    Whats better? Satellite Direct TV type programing, or Digital Cable TV?

    Currently have digital cable. Nothing special.
    My bud has ,Satellite also nothing special.

    Whats best? It seems to be about the same price.

    Is there a quality factor here on HDTV or Plasma's with either one?


    Also another quick question.
    Internet connection at home.

    Comcast Cable Internet or Verizon DSL?
    Whats better DSL or Cable?

    Once again its the same price.

                      Check out what cable recievers your cable company is using. My father's company did some big trade show booths for Scientific Atlanta. I don't know how soon these products will be released, but satellite won't have anything on cable once they hit the street.

                      Spend you some brain.

                              Also the home is Cat5 network wired or some weird shit.
                              Itss supposed to make things easier when having multi TVs in a bunch of rooms.

                              I plan to have a TV in 4-5 rooms in the house.

                              Does Sattlelite or Digital Cable make a difference?

                              Id kinda like to avoid big cable boxes and shit since i want to save space with plasma's.. Dont really want some cable box.

                              I notice both Sattletite and digital cable have these boxes, but im hoping this weird wiring system in the house that i dont understand helps me avoid this.

                                              I thought it depened on how close you are to some fuckin center or somethin like that and how many otheres in the the area are on Cable too?

                                                  Bone,

                                                  DTV all the way, have had it for a few years now. Dig. cable is ok, but still the grainy look sometimes.

                                                  I had verizon dsl for 4 years, never a problem but have had Comcast cable here for 2 yrs now. Overall for speed, etc Cable modem is way better.

                                                  I have there ultralink deal, 3 meg down, 256k up for like 80.00 per month or something.

                                                      Hmm what are these?

                                                      You see im not technically up to date now days.


                                                      Im still back in the early 90's where buddies and i would order black boxes to steal cable (cable descrablers). But ever since the digital cable came out and I started to make money not being a student anymore 10 years ago I just never kept up..

                                                      But if these things work, tell me about it.. Do they really work to steal Sattleite direct tv? Do they change encription or anything like that every month like the old cable boxes would in the day?

                                                          Regarding Internet access

                                                          DSL quality depends upon how many cable feet you are from the serving Central Office. Cable IP depends on how saturated the network you are on is with users. I have tried both and in my case Cable has been better with Comcast than DSL with Qwest. It may be different where you are. See if you can get a free installation and try one and if it is bad try the other. The Cat 5 is what you need for an in house network unless you want to use Wifi.

                                                          TV both digital cable and small dish require converter boxes. Again I have tried both and at this time I believe the DIsh better quality. Cable in my area goes out too often with construction tearing up cables and rain. Again it might be different for you.

                                                              Bone,

                                                              yep with dsl it's how close you are to the local Pop.

                                                              We were like 12k feet or so, so we could only get 384/384, I think now mabey 768/128

                                                              Cable forsure. I don't hear of too many probs in the portland area with full Cable "nodes"

                                                                  DTV all the way, have had it for a few years now. Dig. cable is ok, but still the grainy look sometimes.

                                                                  I had verizon dsl for 4 years, never a problem but have had Comcast cable here for 2 yrs now. Overall for speed, etc Cable modem is way better.

                                                                  I have there ultralink deal, 3 meg down, 256k up for like 80.00 per month or something.
                                                                  Ahh a Portland guy!!
                                                                  Yeah Comcast Digital Cable is what im on now. Im also on Verizon DSL.

                                                                  I was thinking of doing all comcast. Internet and Digital Cable.

                                                                  The price is the same with Direct TV and Digital Cable here isnt it?
                                                                  And are there other Sattleite providers here i should consider or is Direct TV the one brand?

                                                                      Cable you can get in all your rooms for small install fee, and free of charge service. The weather can affect a satellite [sun spots] etc.

                                                                      It comes down to how many rooms you want to see this in.

                                                                      But if your still using that 1987 - 10 inch black and white TV the question is kinda a moot point :-)

                                                                      As for that sell point of more channels on satellite, ya have to ask yourself how many are you really going to watch.

                                                                          I think that this was all for the SuperComm show that was a few weeks ago. These products might not be available until next year. I'll see what I can dig up in the mean time.

                                                                              DSL quality depends upon how many cable feet you are from the serving Central Office. Cable IP depends on how saturated the network you are on is with users. I have tried both and in my case Cable has been better with Comcast than DSL with Qwest. It may be different where you are. See if you can get a free installation and try one and if it is bad try the other. The Cat 5 is what you need for an in house network unless you want to use Wifi.

                                                                              TV both digital cable and small dish require converter boxes. Again I have tried both and at this time I believe the DIsh better quality. Cable in my area goes out too often with construction tearing up cables and rain. Again it might be different for you.
                                                                              Ahhh good point about the construstion thing.
                                                                              Lots of construstion in our area.

                                                                              I could see the cable TV going out.
                                                                              hmmm

                                                                                      Shit, now im even more confused as to what i should get.

                                                                                      Damn...

                                                                                          DTV is the only way to go throughout the house.

                                                                                          I have dig. cable in my master bedroom only and it still has that grainy look.

                                                                                          Dtv looks great on my big screens

                                                                                          dolby digital and the hdtv looks hot!!
                                                                                          Maybe I should ask my neighbors if the sattlelite comes in clear ehh?
                                                                                          If there are positioning problems in my area they would know.
                                                                                          If its all good i think i may go Direct TV.

                                                                                          Is it spendy to have this in 5 rooms? OR is it better with cable?

DTV is good unless its raining really hard or snowing really hard. Snow and ice will also get on the dish so you want to put it somewhere where you can knock it off.

                                                                                                                  Once in a great while with bad bad rain storms the signal might break up for a few minutes, but it doesn't happen much.

                                                                                                                  Sun spots, never had that happen in the sun..

                                                                                                                                                              DSL quality depends upon how many cable feet you are from the serving Central Office. Cable IP depends on how saturated the network you are on is with users. I have tried both and in my case Cable has been better with Comcast than DSL with Qwest. It may be different where you are. See if you can get a free installation and try one and if it is bad try the other. The Cat 5 is what you need for an in house network unless you want to use Wifi.
                                                                                                                                                              Yeah what he is saying. With cable you are sharing your download speed with everyone in the neighborhood -- so it might be fast now but later it could get slower. Check to see how far you are from the switch for DSL -- it's all about distance... I only pay $24.95/month for mine and it hauls ass... my buddy lives maybe 3 miles away -- his downloads crawl... Overall I like DSL -- I've had DSL with 3 companies so far and performance has always been excellent -- but I'd recommend against dealing with the phone company for DSL... try to find a smaller company that is offering it -- that way you get better tech support.

If it was ever illegal to own again, people just take grey paint and paint over the direct tv logo like last time.

                                                                                                                                                                                          I have Dish Network and I love it. I also had DirecTV at my office for awhile. Both are good, DirecTV seems to have better sports packages, if you are into that. Compare their programming plans for which is best.

                                                                                                                                                                                          I finally got Comcast cable modem at my home, and it's been working great. But if you could get a FAST DSL connection I would go with that because you don't have to share bandwidth with your neighbors.

                                                                                                                                                                                          If you have multiple TV's in multiple rooms, be aware that you will be limited by the satellite dish as to how man different channels you can watch at the same time. At my home I have a Sat. dish with dual receivers, which means I can only watch two different channels at the same time. If want to be able to watch TV in 4 or 5 different rooms, each watching a different channel, go with digital cable.

                                                                                                                                                                                          Also, I have heard the Comcast ads claim that the Sat. TV digital feeds are "compressed" and theirs are not. I don't know if that is bullshit, but something to consider.

                                                                                                                                                                                          Personally, I like Sat. TV because I have always hated the cable TV companies (except for my new cable modem, which I love.)
