Wich is better, Direct TV or digital cable?

Question

Wich is has better qaulities, Direct Tv or Digital cable.

Answer 1

Probably digital cable. Mini-dish companies are successful because they are convenient and cheaper. But if you've ever seen "C-band" satellite (the large dishes that were analog) you'd be shocked to see by comparison how dull and almost muddy DirecTv and Dish Network look. Of course, most small dish users never had large dishes ( a setup that could cost thousands) and don't know the difference, allowing the small dish networks to tout their "digital quality picture". We had both, and "unsubscribed" to DirecTv because its picture was inferior (I've seen sharper "rabbit ears" images). We would only use it for some live events.

Answer 2

I have always had digital cable until last year. I moved and my only choice was Direct Tv. After having Direct TV for a year I wish I could get cable. The Direct TV goes out a lot more than cable and it doesn't just come right back on, you must wait for the receiver to restart. I like digital cable better.

Answer 3

depends on the carrier. I have found that customer service at Comcast is superior. It is local (in the US and not in Bangalore like DirecTV and others). I have found that DirecTV and others are better for rural areas and digital cable is better for cities. Just my opinion. As far as quality -- they are both digital so it is essentially a wash. Price is comparable.

Answer 4

Unless you have a clear signal which can never get blocked, I'd go with cable. My Direct TV always had the message "Signal cannot be found" every other day - Very frustrating !
