THE ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION IS EXTREMELY STRAIGHT FORWARD:---

• Stick to Cable TV if you have good service within your area. the reason is hence forth:---
• With cable TV one spends at the most Rs200 to 350 per month
• Access to latest movies without paying any extra money.
• You can watch latest news as it happens. This is vital and utter most important feature that is at a miss in DTH services.
• You can use one connection for all the TV sets at your house by just paying some additional fee to the cable operator .
  
• More over Its the cable operator’s headache to ensure that his customers are able to see the cricket series on sports channel that has won the rights to telecast the series. And that too without any extra cost .
• Their service to the customers is far better than any of the DTH service providers .And if you do not have proper reception you can always go ahead and get in touch with them and complain ! Whereas if you not satisfied with DTH and customer service keeps giving excuses then there is no where to go and just wait and see when the things get better .
• The only advantage with DTH is its picture quality. But its good quality is only sustained under the clear sky. Cable TV offers much more value than any DTH service except the picture quality.Whenever there it is cloudy,the signals start jamming. so you may change from 60 cms dish to 100 cms dish. After which the quality of the picture may improved slightly but during rainy season the signals suddenly cease and we end up being fooled in the middle of a program and get frustrated .
• The customer service is horrible and you will never be able to access them on their phone during the peak hours you have to call the service in late night to complain
  
• The number of channels on D T H have remained steady since long time most of the channels are simply junks. One can only have a single language pack; to get all the language pack one have to give away fifty rupees extra. Besides all this some channels like Toppers are chargeable. Most of the channels have boring monotonous kind of soaps running entire day.
• Moreover we do not get the local Cable Network, where we get most of the instant local news of our area . So we have to give away lot of money every month plus the charges to active the connection every month, if I do not pay in advance they lock your capital.
• In short, think twice for the DTH services, if there isn't a good cable service at hand. then only take D T H and check carefully whether they give good service in your area or not .
