Cable v. Satellite

Back to regular cable after 2 years of satellite dish TV. Shaving off a chunk from the monthly bill by combining phone, TV, and internet. The other reason for the switch was because The Filipino Channel is now available through Cablevision with cheaper subscription. Can finally tear down the unwieldy dishes and cables off the roof. Re-adapting to cable's pros and cons:

Some cable pros:
-We can watch TV now during a rainstorm. No more messages about "searching for a signal."
-More DVR space.
-On Demand!

Some cable cons:
-Less HD channels. What do you mean USA is not in HD?
-Less channels: No more Cinema One - must Netflix my Tagalog movies from now on.
-Less user-friendly search menu.
