A. If you have one or the other stay with them unless you find switching would be cheaper. If you have neither, I would go with Direct or Dish Satellite. I say this not because the picture quality is better then cable but because they offer many more HD channels (this may change in the near future as February  2009 rolls around).

 

Some would say that satellite TV has bad reception in inclement weather, so go with cable. I’ve had Direct TV (satellite) for about 5 or 6 years now, in my home (both, I moved). and I can count on one hand how many times I had a bad signal.  So, as long as you can get a good line of sight from your dish to the satellite, bad reception really is not an issue.

This is one of those times where there is no wrong answer. Base your decision on price and or number of HD channels offered.
