Default Satellite TV vs Cable TV
Okay, I've had enough with my cable provider and their crappy service (I'm looking in your direction Cox Communications). My cable went out last night right before I was going to watch a local baseball game on HD. It seems like my cable goes out at least once every other week, and it is really making me quite upset.

I'm strongly considering switching to DirecTv which has a ton more HD channels and SD channels. I've heard that that there are problems during "heavy" storms, but that seems juvenile to the service that I'm getting now, which goes out every other week. Plus I hear that HD signals over cable are compressed (you can notice terrible tv quality occasionally on some channels) and they are not compressed over satellite.

The prices seem to be coparable with all of the options I want (HD, DVR, etc)

Should I stay or should I go??

I'm sure is a thread somewhere regarding this issue, but I haven't found one in about 15 minutes of searching.
