We've got Comcast Digital Cable here. We pay for the full package, all the movie channels, HD channels on both tvs, DVR service, plus digital phone and broadband internet, etc. We've had service inturruptions before, but nothing too bad. Most of the problems we'd been having involved some bad cable lines inside the house... But that was solved after a couple of service calls.
The HD channels rock! My favorite is Discovery HD. Lots of interesting shows on there. Which reminds me, I gotta make sure to call Comcast tomorrow and tell them how we're going to pay this month as someone decided to buy over 200 dollars worth of On Demand content... Mostly porn and sports...
I've known a few people with Satellite. It basically sucked because they would always get a bad signal. I suppose it has to do with how things are set up. You have to have a clear view to the south for anything to work properly as Satellites revolve around the Equator of the Earth. I'm sure most people in California probably get a better signal than most of those in Washington, but I could be wrong...
Anyway, rain, just ordinary rain shouldn't bother Cable unless you have bad lines outside of the house. High Winds might knock Service, but of course, Power is often knocked off too when we have a wind storm.
Which brings to mind a question of my own. What kind of Internet Connection do you use? Like I mentioned above, we've got Cable Broadband...
