What do you guys prefer in terms tv viewing? Comcast (cable with HD) or sat? Direct TV for example?

DTV hands down for HD now that the new bird is active.

Porscheman · 10-30-2007, 03:24 PM

Galley · 10-30-2007, 08:49 PM

DirecTV, no question.

What they said.

Porscheman · 10-31-2007, 04:33 PM

what about Dish Network?

CptGreedle · 10-31-2007, 04:37 PM

Cable's HD selection SUCKS! However the picture is great, the internet is super fast, and the phone service is cheap.

Brain Sturgeon · 10-31-2007, 04:41 PM

DTV hands down.

Had cable-- HD totally sucked and was way more expensive.

cawgijoe · 10-31-2007, 05:20 PM

DTV......lot's of HD channels now and they look great.

Our cable just added a bunch more HD channels.

I'm sure satellite is still better though, at least when it isn't raining.

If you have an ATSC tuner in your TV, try an antenna too. That way you can get some stations for free, and at best quality too (OTA broadcast is often less compressed than cable or satellite).

If you want the best quality possible; you should use an UHF antenna and the best part is... it's free.

However, if you want a gazillion HD channels... better look up the reviews. I don't have the answer for you.
