As someone who was Television Editor of the Akron Beacon Journal for 16 years, I have this advice: BOTH cable and satellite dish have their pros and cons. I'm not familiar with The Villages cable systems but, as pointed out, the weather can be a problem with satellite dishes. And if you do a thorough check you will find the costs really are about the same for IDENTICAL lineup of channels because cable and dish have to pay each of the channels' program providers about the same per month per channel. The differences come in how cable and dish folks package their clusters, which may or may not be the clusters you want. so investigate carefully, take your time and compare. What your neighbor loves about his/her choice may not suit you at all. It's like going into a grocery store: It's not A or B. It's selections A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, K, L or any combination of A through L. And be prepared to be unhappy with some aspects of your choice because neither cable nor the dish are 100% solid experiences. And you pretty much get what you pay for.
