when it comes to usability and affordability, satellite tv is still the better choice. you can go to the website provided to know more about satellite tv.
Satellite TV is cheaper than cable TV in most cases, but the weather affects satellite way more than cable TV, it the wind blows, if it gets very cloudy or rainstorms satellite will go out, snow affects reception also. Your local cable provider has techs on standby in almost all cases of bad weather to fix whatever interrupts the service. Also most of the time your local cable franchise provider has techs that are highly trained and are not paid per job so they make sure the job is done to the customers satisfaction.

Cable TV doesn't use Satellites. They are two different services. Cable TV is a digital service where you get the services by using a cable installed by your cable tv provider in your area. The Satellite TV is the strong competition of Cable TV. It needs a satellite dish and a satellite to receive digital-TV signals from the providers.On the link provided, you will see the comparison of Satellite TV and Cable TV and why Satellite TV is the superior on both services.EDIT: Cable-TV does use satellites - but only to bring in the signal from other countries. It's fed to distribution equipment, which sends it down the cable to individual homes. For example - I have cable-TV supplied by Virgin Media - they broadcast content from other countries supplied to them by satellites (eg. SKY 1 which is an American broadcaster), and they send it down a cable to my home. Snakester1962 (Supervisor)
