Dish is a satellite receiver..cable is just that..cable. They are not the same things. Virtually all cable companies get their programming from satellite. However..with dishes size DOES matter. Dish receivers at the cable company's head-end are very large. The smaller your dish, the more problems it will have with reception.Heavy storm? Yes, you'll have reception troubles with a consumer-sized dish.
