What are the pros and cons of satellite television vs the pros and cons of cable television?
Satellite TV generally has more channels that most people will never watch. The reception is heavily dependent on weather, overhead air traffic, sun spots, solar storms. Depending on the package selected, it can be more cost effective but most do not give you local programming although that is beginning to change with the satellite companies offering a second dish/antenna to pull in the local programs. Cable is by far the most stable (I’m speaking of Comcast Cable)and has better packages to choose from. I think of Satellite TV as a choice where cable is not available.
