I second the opinion of satellite TV vs. cable. I have never lost
signal due to weather with my Dish Network service at my beach house.
However, my cable service at home is undependable, mainly due to the
cable box. It is a Motorola box with HD and DVR capability. It often
crashes for no apparent reason, and takes five minutes or so to get
back on line. It has frequently done this during recording, and I
lose the program. I anticipate buying one of the new TiVo boxes that
works on Comcast, since my experience with TiVo is that the box is
more responsive and never screws up, and the controls and menu
hierarchies are more logical.
