Which do you prefer?

[MrFun]

Satelite television or cable television? And why?

[Asher]

Digital cable.

Satellite's reception is wonky, can't use it much in condos/apartments, and they usually downsample the resolution to 720p

[ColdWizard]

Cable doesn't go out in light rain, snow, shade, wind, etc.

[Solomwi]

Assuming digital cable, I'm with Asher and CW. I can get more or less the same channels, more reliably and without the southern exposure requirement.

[Wezil]

The building I live in has been sprouting satellite dishes in the past few years on the same wall as my living room window.

It (including the digital cable) does in my area, much worse than sattelite does. Crappy cable infrastructure.

[Asher]

What do you expect, living in Texas?

[Lefty Scaevola]

With time warner here it is very hodge podge from neighborhood to neighborhood or block to block, mostly depending on the condition of the actual cables.

[Asher]

It's probably the dirty mexicans cutting the wires while tunneling through.

[Lefty Scaevola]

Its more like rain getting in to junctions and corroding the metal cable near connections you racist bastard.

[Asher]

Mexicans are prodigious tunnelers. How dare you call me racist for pointing out a genetic benefit of being Mexican.

[Lefty Scaevola]

Dare it I do, you pale imperialist gringo. You get more radiation from your computer than you do from honest work out in natural sunlight, whitey.

[Asher]

We weren't meant to be exposed to sunlight. That's why God blessed us with skin cancer. It's also why reasonable people, like Mexicans, tunnel under Texas rather than be scorched to death by the deathrays emitted by the sun.

[MRT144]

Cable has college football, Satellite has NFL. Cable wins hands down.

[Lefty Scaevola]

Oh great, an on topic post. What the hell is Poly comming to?
