We have satellite (DirecTV) because we don't have cable available in the area. We get 900 channels give or take... like 600 are sports/PPV/music channels. The rest are just what you can get on cable. If you are into all those excess channels, its cool I guess but it goes out when the weather is bad (rain, snow) and it costs more money than cable. I miss cable
Oh and it takes forever to surf the guide to find something to watch
it definitely needs some kind of search function!
