satellite dish, tv ??
Pretty random topic, sorry, but you guys seem to know a bit about random ---- and are unbias. I have comcast cable right now and it's hella. Like $40-50 for cable w/ out premium channels. What's up with satellite? How has it? Does the picture really suck ***? rain, etc. really affect it that much. I live Seattle, so......

if it is raining hard than yes it does suck, or snowing really hard. but its pretty good most of the time, I still live with the folks so they got hdtv and all that good stuff and the picture is really good.

heres the real info on satellite. if you have a good installer, you will never lose signal. ever. if you have a poor installer, you will lose signal. always. its cheaper than cable, you get more channels for less money and its an all digital signal. usually for signing up with satellite they give you free tivo like recorders and whatnot which are awesome. i refuse to ever pay for cable again, its overpriced crap. go satellite, get a good installer (someone who uses their tools alignment tools, and doesnt do the "move it around until it sounds good" crap) and you will never regret it.

---- down in socal, we got what is called asian satellite. yup you guessed it, 400 bucks pretty much gets you everything for a whole year, if not longer. All premiums, one guy claims to have found 7 different porno channels, ---- is crazy. Oh and no I don't have it. I don't even have cable tv. I aonly have cable internet cause it's a promo at 19.99 a month :P

directv pwns the ---- out of cable. it has to be raining like hurricanes for the picture to be shitty. then again cable can do that to if the winds are strong enough to down lines. oh and the directv hdtv package is awesome
