There are only a few benefits to cable over satellite. Mainly that is that you won't lose your signal in heavy weather. After that DirecTV and Dish have either similiar or superior programming at what is usually a lower price. Of course if you have the benefit of competition between providers in your area then you can get much better deals than the rest of us.

Do satellite dishes provide better reception than cable service?
I believe that satellite dishes do provide better reception than cable service. I believe this because satellite dishes are bigger and getting their signals from huge satellites in space. They have less interference factors that affect them than cable service does and they are less likely to go off air as often happens with cable service. Satellite dishes also offer all HD channels where as with cable you have to pay an extra fee for HD many times. I think that satellite dishes receive stronger signals and are better equipped to interpret those signals than cable service is. I also believe that the satellite signals are jumbled less often than cable tv and because of this you get a clearer picture and more channels.
