Despite the fact that I have a large cable company servicing my area
(Comcast), I would never go back to them. I can receive all my HD locals
over the air via an antenna (which I would still need even with cable,
since they don't provide all of them), and get everything else I want from
DirecTV, and spend far less doing it. For all the services I get, I spend
$65/month for DirecTV instead of the nearly $80/month for Comcast.

Ditto for me. One other reason for going with satellite, such as
Direct TV, the picture is superb on virtually every channel. When I
had cable, the picture on most channels experienced lots of
interference. I wouldn't go back to cable.
