Which is better? Satellite TV or cable TV?
Satellite TV. Satellite signals are digital transmissions that deliver a quality almost comparable to DVD with CD quality audio. Cable TV is an analog signal and can suffer from degradation under a variety of circumstances. Also, satellite systems typically offer a wider range of HD programming and since recent laws have changed, it is now possible to get your local networks over satellite as well.
This is not to say that satellite TV doesn't have its drawbacks, though. An occasional thunderstorm or blizzard may disrupt the signal. Also, make sure you have a clear line of sight towards the satellite before you invest in a system. And check with your landlord if you live in an apartment building.
