Then you should compare the programming available from satellite and cable. Satellite has more channels, movies and sports than regular cable. Satellite used to be much better than cable in terms of picture quality, but testers have found that the quality isn't as consistently good as it used to be. If you do decide to go with satellite service, choose your program provider first, because that dictates the equipment that you will need. Dish Network has more international programming and DirecTV has more sports, according to Consumer Reports.
Cable generally costs less than satellite.
