It seems cable and dish service can vary widely from place to place. I get my cable service with full digital package, and internet service free so for now I'm staying with cable but if I had to pay I'd definately shop around. I've been fortunate in that in five years or so of service I've experienced only two outages that went on for any real length of time (thirty minutes or more) and both of those were during bad storms. I had a friend that had a satellite service and he often had problems even during light rain. However I've had friends that lived in different cities that have never had problems with the dish and other friends with cable that had their own horror stories. I suppose the best bet is to research your area, maybe talk to some people in your neighborhood that have satellite and see what they say.
