Do you prefer Regular TV, Satellite TV or Cable TV?

we have direct TV.. we get it for free because the company my mom works for works w/ their satellites. i love it! and we'd probably pay for even if it weren't free for us, since it costs the same amount as cable.. and we've gotten so used to it !

I only have regular TV, 5 channels....i'm so deprived :lol:

we have digital cable, which is like satelite, except we can still watch tv when it's cloudy LOL

Satellite, I like how if I miss something when it's on at the regular time, I can tape it 3 hours later if it's on a west coast channel :P I don't like how they keep switching around the channel lineup though... just did it recently and I still haven't figured out where everything is. The only thing I miss about our old 5-channel regular tv is that we used to watch Jeopardy practically every night, now I'm lucky if it's oncee a week :P

We recently switched to Satellite Tv from Digital cable. I dont like it to much; some channels are 3 hours earlier. I guess for late night shows its fine, because they come on earlier, but for shows that come on the afternoon, I'll miss them because I'm still in school. :s I miss my digital cable.

Satellite! A lot of my channels have both coasts, so if I find something I like that has already started (or I miss it), I can just wait three hours and watch it on my regular time. A few of my channels are only Eastern time, but I got used to those (plus I can watch things that come on later earlier).

I only have regular TV, 5 channels....i'm so deprived :lol:

Think yourself lucky! My Gran doesn't even get channel 5! It doesn't get reception where she lives. Its annoying whenever I go and see her that there are only 4 channels.

I suppose I should be chatting to her rather than watching TV though :lol:

I used to have cable, then when I moved we switched to satellite.. and let me tell ya that both of them have their ups and downs.

Satellite doesn't work AT ALL in storms, but I love that you can pause and rewind and fast forward and tape things like TiVo.

Cable didn't give me channels like Noggin(and I need my Degrassi! :D) and the people that worked for it were mean and never wanted to come and fix it when it broke :P

I think I'm likin satellite better. Oh but another disadvantage-- you can only get 2 signals, so we have to watch the same thing in the basement as the kitchen. Sometimes that's annoying.

Sattelite for me. :D

i have freeview - which i think is digital, but it uses cable - im not too sure about that!
