Direct TV; Better than Cable?

I would like to start off saying we had cable TV through our local provider for more than 20 years!!!  So the question is; Is Direct TV or Satellite TV better than cable???

Well, I can tell from inside my house with the shades drawn and the doors closed if it is raining or snowing outside!!!  Reason being is because every time it rains we have no TV, or as our TV states; "Searching for Signal"!!!  So I can tell when it’s raining and I can also tell when it stops.  How you may wonder or ask yourself???  Simple, because our TV goes off the air and then comes back on when it stops raining!!!  When we get snow in the winter time that is another story.  The TV doesn’t come back on the air until most of the snow melts off the dish!!!  We have called Direct TV and they have sent out technicians and still we continue to have the same problems.

So we have decided to switch back to our old and reliable cable, or have we???  It seems that Direct TV will NOT let us out of our 2 year contract!!!  That is correct, even having no TV when it rains and snows they will still not let us out of our contract!!!  I understand from reading and researching online that there are several class action law suites against Direct TV!!!  Also even though we paid hundreds of dollars for our dish and DVR receiver, plus two extra receivers we still do NOT own them!!!  That’s right, we are leasing them according to Direct TV!!!

I felt it very necessary to blog about this subject in hopes of saving many other families the torture and frustration.  We are currently working on this issue and have contacted the Attorney General’s office of Pennsylvania!!!  Direct TV offers 99% reliability with their products, and this is not true!!!  Please do not fall for this trick, or as I like to call it; SCAM!!!  Also read the fine print very carefully because you may just be the next statistic out there!!!  Yes we enjoy the extra channels we did not get with cable, but the question remains; When do we get to enjoy these extra channels???  The answer is very simple; When the weather is sunny and there is not a cloud in the sky!!!  Thanks Direct TV for all your help is solving this matter, also thanks again to Direct TV for not letting us out of our contract!!!  That is correct folks, when you purchase Direct TV, get good and ready for 2 full years of aggravation!!! 24 Months of watching your favorite shows 1/4 to 1/2 the way through only to lose your signal and miss the rest of your show!!!

Our Case is Pending, I will touch on this subject again as time goes by and "if" we get any kind of results. 

Thanks so Much for Reading and Be Careful because;
