Another alternative for backup is to have BOTH satellite and Comcast. This isn't as expensive as it sounds if you use Comcast for Internet. The extra cost to get basic cable (i.e., local stations only) is only $5/month. While this strategy doesn't work if your must-see TV is a cable channel, if you are watching a standard network broadcast and the dish goes out, you can always switch over to cable.
So, why not just go with cable? Same answer as above - cable is pretty lousy with respect to sports channels.
