once signals are boosted enough to pass through rain clouds, DISH but they haven't perfected the technology yet.
Digital cable uses the same satellites, they just choose to distribute their signals a different way.

Cable is definitely better because:
1. You can use the TV tuner to get the basic channels and hence you will be able to record one channel while viewing other in the TV
2. The other channel comes instantainously when you flip channels. Dish take a second or so
3. With digital cable the quality is as good as the Dish
4. It is easy to hookup the second TV and see the basic channels without a settop box.
5. More HDTV channels and local channels
Dish TV has two advantages:
1. No local city taxes since it does not use city infrastrcture whereas you pay as much as $5 for tax if you use cable
2. Dish TV has more international channels

You don't have to sign a contract for cable. You don't have a goofy looking dish on the side of your house. With cable, you can get basic cable channels without a box. One word- ondemand. Service calls with cable are free. As well, you have people that locally support, install, and fix your cable and they generally aren't contractors that you'll never see again. With cable, you can bundle services- cable, phone, and Internet all on one bill. Your cable company has a agreement with your local government so they have to be held accountable for their actions. You don't have to buy equipment that becomes obsolete in a year or two. Cable doesn't go out in rainy weather.
