Cool Satellite and Internet Options
I will be arriving in TV in late December...finally!

I have searched the forums, but haven't found what I am looking for specifically, so thought I would ask...

I have always had cable/internet, however, I am considering satellite and DSL for TV. I have no interest in phone service, as we use cell phone exclusively. I have heard lots of horror stories about satellite reception, especially during storms or just plain heavy rain. I don't believe I would be happy with a system that vulnerable to the weather. From looking at the satellite packages, I believe I would be most interested in DirecTV.

My Questions:

How is DirecTV reception in TV? Weather issues...

What is the best DSL service available in TV? Fiber???

My main concern is for reliability, not cost. Not sure it's important, but I'll be living in St. Charles.

Thanks for your help.... Mike
