Cable it can never be out with a lot of rain

Depends on where you're located at... sometimes you don't have a choice. I prefer cable - couple it with a modem for the computers. (Most companies offer internet service with their cable-tv stuff)

I'm a simple cable gal. As long as I get my shows I'm good.

Satellite because there's lots to choose from and yes there would be a lot that you wouldn't watch but some channels are available to satellite and are not available to cable.

We had cable for a lot of years and just recently got satellite so much better

I just got Directv and I LOVE IT! Of course it hasn't rained since I got it, but I am prepared. I recorded a lot on DVR. I can not believe how much simplier a DVR is than a VCR. And don't let them tell you that you can not record a movie onDVR to VCR cuz you can.

Cable. We had satellite and you could always tell when it was gonna rain or if it was really cloudy outside because the TV channels were awful. Haven't had any problems with cable now that we have comcast.

It totally depends on the quality of your local cable company. I personally got rid of my cable for sat TV. However I have a house on the top of a hill with no trees to the south. If you have limited southern exposure stick with cable if its a decent company. If you have no southern exposure stick with cable anyway. However If you have a wide open southern sky then I say sat TV. Biggest negitive for me besides the weather interference is the lack of on-demand. But a DVR makes it worth while for me.
