I'm thinking of switching from Comcast to either DirectTV or Dish, for TV. Can anyone compare and contrast, maybe talk about the pros and cons of satellite vs cable?

In my case, I think I'd keep Comcast for Internet. Drop their voice, use Vonage. Drop their TV, use a satellite service.

The reason for switching is Comcast triple play has gotten very expensive, and they dropped Universal Sports which means most bike racing is unavailable. But I'm happy with Comcast's Internet service.

Not sure what matters about our setup, so sorry if the following is irrelevant: We have four TVs - family room, bedroom, study, basement. We also have cable jacks in the living room where we set up a little TV sometimes. I'm planning to set up a projector in the family room and would want HD broadcasts then. Most of our watching is via TiVo and Netflix.
