We had basic cable for years in Florida.....after the local cable company was absorbed by Comcast, the rates went WAY up....FAST.
I was getting to the point of doing something about it...and then we moved.
Here, after checking into installation costs for Comcast cable........I went with Direct TV. The free install helped make it easy to decide.
The previous owner of this house, had Dish Network. I checked into them as well....they were a bit less expensive, but also, seemed to have a little less to offer in general.
All in all, I'm satisfied with Direct TV...(it's harder to "surf" with so many channels, and when there are huge gaps in between the channels that I have in my package) and when there are big thunderstorms....the "searching for picture" screen comes on, and.......no TV for a time.
On a more positive note, the picture is a bit better, many more channels, (than Comcast) and when comparing similar packages......less expensive.
