The offering difference between cable and Satellite used to be a lot more skewed in the direction of satellite (DirecTV specifically).  Cable has caught up a lot in the last couple of years with their broadband capabilities.  Still, satellite is less expensive and is the only place I can get the Sunday Ticket, which is why I got satellite in the first place.  I get more channels for less money from DirecTV than I could ever get from Comcast and Comcast never offered Tivo.

Amen.  10 years of Sunday Ticket and never going back to cable.
ChadTower:

Sunday Ticket and four Tivo tuners = NFL all damn week.

Well, if Sunday ticket is that importantm then satellite is definitely for you.  FWIW, Comcast has a DVR box, same thing as tivo.
ChadTower:

Performs some of the same functions... the software itself is, from what I hear, not nearly as good as Tivo.  Tivo makes its money with the power of its software.  DVR is probably equivalent but the difference is season passes, searching and categorizing, sharing between units (though DirecTivo doesn't do that without "help", standalone Tivo does), etc.
