Hands down, DIRECT TV..... After many years of loosing my Cable and waiting for hours and someitmes days, to get it back , I changed over to Direct TV about three (3) years ago. I was shocked at the difference in price as well. I was paying almost $125.00 a mo to Cable and that was three years ago. When I signed up with Direct TV, my monthly payment dropped considerably, ($76.00 mo) and that pricing has not gone up. I now have over 700 channels to choose from and yes, the quality of sound and picture is hands down, superior ! Yes, we loose the satelite during a storm however, it returns immediately after the eye of the storm is gone. I would NEVER EVER give those creeps at Cable my hard earned money again. They are a rip off to the consumer and its high time people get fed up like I did...
