Right now we use Bright House, but when I move back to Omaha I'll just use a high quality antenna to pull over the air HDTV broadcasts with a home theater PC to pull stuff off the web from places like Hulu and Netflix.
I've had dishnetwork for 12 years. No problems except for 10-15 minute signal loss sometimes in the summer with orange/red/purple storms southwest of town. Community has comcast and FIOS. Both take one or two of the most popular channels and puts them in the next package tier to get more money. Comcast does it with Fox News and FIOS does it with Speed and NFL. I've been to neighbors homes that have comcast. The video quality between my dish and their cable is striking. I don't know why they keep comcast. Slight annoying problem with a dish is that there are no local commercials. So you have to watch the same unsold minute 'filler' commercials over and over and over again. Most sub-divisions in my area have forced comcast subscription. They would not wire the community unless the HOA signed a 10 year lease. And you pay for it in your monthly maintanence fee wether you want it or not.
Antenna reception towers are 50 miles N/NE With digital, many channels were added but the CBS tower is 70 miles and N/NW, so no reception with digital. Analog was received but 'snowy'.
Dish and I hate it. Cable isn't offered here and you can't receive anything OTA. I can't get my local news and weather from stations 90 miles away and am forced to watch news from Denver which is almost 400 miles away. Really stupid. Dish service is horrible, their CSR's don't speak english and have no idea what I'm talking about when I call. As soon as my contract expires I'm canceling them.
