Satellite vs Cable

[Steve]

I am about fed up with Comcast. For the second day in a row they have shut off our cable because they screwed up out billing. my wife came home to relax and watch some tube after her radiation treatment and she is beside herself in frustration and anger that after almost an hour and a half on the phone with them yesterday, it's back to stage one again.

I am looking at direct tv. I have heard satellite goes out during storms, etc., so I am asking here for the straight scoop.

Thanks in advance.
